After a 1-1 stalemate at St Mary’s, we now move to Anfield as Liverpool and Everton square up in the first Merseyside derby of the season.
The big news is that Jurgen Klopp has named both Philippe Coutinho and Roberto Firmino on the hosts’ bench for the 2.15pm encounter.
The Reds’ Brazilians were among the top four players for transfers in last week, with 293,000+ and 220,000+ new owners respectively.
Mohamed Salah owners can breathe a sigh of relief, though, as he’s named on the teamsheet up front along with Dominic Solanke and Sadio Mane.
Second only to Harry Kane for the Gameweek 16 captaincy, the Egyptian has been handed the armband by 15.8% of Fantasy Premier League managers on the back of three sets of double-digit hauls in his last five league outings.
Mane, meanwhile, has two sets of 10+ hauls in his last three league starts and netted twice at home to Spartak Moscow in midweek.
For Everton, the form of budget frontman Dominic Calvert-Lewin has caught the eye of late. He was the sixth most transferred in (157,000+) player for Gameweek 16 after bagging a goal and assist against Huddersfield last time out.
The youngster retains his start, though Sam Allardyce also names Oumar Niasse on the Toffees’ teamsheet for the first time since Gameweek 12.
Gylfi Sigurdsson is another to monitor ahead of back-to-back encounters with Newcastle and Swansea – the Toffees’ playmaker has served up attacking returns in each of the previous four league fixtures.

People getting carried away with DCL.
Maybe decent at 5.2m but if he was 6m people would say he wasn't the best investment. You'll get what you pay for. So he needs to be enabling some decent investment in better players.
Yes he got an FPL assist today but didn't actually do a lot else. Gomez had twice as many touches in opponent's half as DCL did.
1 decent home game, 2 tough ones and 4 away games in next 7 GWs.
Probably getting him in anyway purely as an enabler but don't see him producing too much.
