The Gameweek rolls on with a pair of Sunday afternoon Premier League encounters at the KC Stadium and Selhurst Park.
We start in South London, where Liverpool return to the scene of the crime – the venue where last season’s title hopes were slain after the Merseysider’s conceded a three-goal lead to Crystal Palace.
They arrive to take on the Eagles in a far different situation, struggling for form and without a strike force seemingly fit to lace the boots of either Luis Suarez and Daniel Sturridge. The latter misses out once again for Brendan Rodgers’ side along with Mario Balotelli who is absent today with a groin problem. Rickie Lambert starts in the Liverpool attack, then, whilst in midfield Rodgers is without the industry of Jordan Henderson through illness. Joe Allen and Adam Lallana are drafted in as Emre Can drops to the bench.
Crystal Palace also make changes as Mile Jedinak returns from his suspension to displace the injured James McArthur in midfield. He drops to the bench along with Wilfried Zaha as Jason Puncheon earns a recall to the flank. Dwight Gayle also earns a start as Frazier Campbell surrenders his starting berth.
Later today, we focus on Tottenham’s attempts to win three points on Humberside as Mauricio Pochettino’s outfit take on Hull City in their own backyard. Fantasy managers will be looking to Harry Kane to take his opportunity up front and add to the growing arsenal of budget strikers available, whilst also hoping that claims of a Nacer Chadli knee injury prove off the mark.
