Dugout Discussion – West Ham vs Liverpool

After just four goals in the afternoon matches, we could feasibly beat that in the final kick-off as West Ham host Liverpool at the London Stadium.

Having won this game 4-0 last season, the Reds will be heavily fancied to run out victors again, particularly after the revelation that Sadio Mane is fit to return to their starting XI.

The Senegalese gets the nod, with Daniel Sturridge dropping out of Liverpool’s front three to make way. Elsewhere, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain earns a first Premier League start in midfield.

However, it’s fair to say that the main focus will be on Mohamed Salah who goes into this contest with five goals from his ten Gameweeks, backed by almost two million owners and with 250,000+ trusting him with the captaincy.

West Ham’s Fantasy assets have long been in decline. Chicharito remains by far their most popular asset, figuring in 13.1% of squads, though he has lost 384,000 owners in the last four Gameweeks.

With injuries and suspensions at the back, it’s expected that they will struggle to repel Jurgen Klopp’s charges.
