With yesterday's results shows we need to get something out of Monday.
If no DCL who then upfront.
Can remember back in the old days Harry Catterick had a wee forward problem, so played Jimmy Gabriel as a no.9 for a few games.

Surely everyone has now come to the realisation that this Liverpool team just aren't good this season?
It's something I've been repeatedly saying, that Jurgen Klopp's side simply aren't performing at top four levels this season. In fact, what we have seen of late has been that of a bottom-half team.
Since the World Cup break, the Reds have played 10 times across three competitions and posted a W3, D2, L5 record, averaging 1.37 xGF and 1.99 xGA per game.
Defensively they are a mess, with every team they face creating an abundance of chances, and there is no sign of this slowing given the personnel and tactical issues they have.
A dip in their attacking process is not what the Reds need, but that's what has occurred since the restart, and means they have to be opposed in any game where they are seen as short-priced favourites.
That is even the case at Anfield, where they have allowed 1.44 xGA per game which ranks them as the 11th best defensive team when playing as hosts.
Taking Liverpool on is the major reason for my favourite bet in this game, which is EVERTON +1.0 ASIAN HANDICAP, and while we only have the smallest of sample sizes around Everton under Sean Dyche, the impact he made in a short space of time to deservedly beat league leaders Arsenal last weekend cannot be understated.
The Toffees limited their visitors to their lowest xGF total of the season so far, while creating nearly 2.0 xGF of their own. It was an excellent display and I expect to see the same tactics and application on Monday night.
The beauty of taking Everton +1.0 on the Asian line means that if Everton avoid defeat, the bet is a winner, and if they lose by a single goal margin we get our money back.
I can't see the Toffees being blown out by a declining Liverpool, and interestingly, the Reds have only won by a two-goal margin in two of their 10 home league games this term, with both of those coming against the current bottom two - 3-1 v Southampton and 9-0 v Bournemouth.
If you'd've backed the opponent +1.0 on the Asian Handicap in every league game at Anfield so far this season, you would have had a winner four times and a push (money back) four times, so I really like the look of this bet.
I'm also happy to have a small play on EVERTON TO WIN the game at 11/2.
The reasoning has been discussed above, and mainly centres around the vulnerabilities of Liverpool. One area which appears to be becoming a greater problem for the Reds is set-piece defending, and I could see the visitors having success from dead-ball situations.
That leads me on to another longshot punt, which is JAMES TARKOWSKI TO SCORE ANYTIME at 30/1.
He bagged the winner last week against Arsenal, and the set-piece data suggests it will be an area Everton look to exploit.
Since the restart, the Toffees have averaged 0.55 xGF per game from set-pieces, with 44% of their total xGF coming from dead-ball situations. That takes into account just one game under Sean Dyche, highlighting that even under Frank Lampard Everton were dangerous from corners and free-kicks.
Opponents Liverpool have looked increasingly vulnerable from such situations since Virgil van Dijk suffered an injury, allowing 0.63 xGA per game from set-pieces since the Dutchman went down.
Tarkowski had two shots in last week's win, and is sure to be a target for the Toffees, so at 30/1, he's worth a small bet to net in back-to-back games

Jimmy Gabriel (RIP), it is, then. Better than any other option I can think of.
….I don’t think anybody is under illusion. It’s daft to predict, we got beat by Soton at home & then beat Arsenal.
it’s wins we need, impossible to predict where they’ll come but we need 6 wins to have a chance.

2-0 to the mighty blues, Gray and Coleman
The Crimson have just finished training it appears - lots of tourists stood outside their training ground here
Expect them to blame tiredness tomorrow if it goes awry

If I were a neutral, and a betting man, which I am, occasionally, the last bet I would place would be a home win.
