I love Matip and would start him ahead of Gomez every time BUT his lack of match practice is Everton's best chance of victory today. I fancy us to win, our line up looks amazing but one careless last ditch tackle by Matip on Ricarlison and a red card worries me.
Yeah but Mina has played quite a few games recently. I think Matip has started one game in about 8 months, I'm worried about his timing in the tackle, it can take a few weeks to get up to speed and in a Merseyside derby there will be very little thinking time.You could say the same about them and Mina taking out Salah.
