After Sunday’s pair of fixtures delivered just a single goal between them, we’re hoping for a turnaround in Fantasy fortunes as Liverpool make their way to Selhurst Park this evening. Brendan Rodgers’ side desperately need to win in order to keep the pressure on City at the summit and can be expected to go on the offensive from the first whistle tonight:

Luis Suarez, Steven Gerrard and Daniel Sturridge all scored against the Eagles in the 3-1 win at Anfield back in Gameweek 7 and the trio will be hoping to repeat the feat – Sturridge starts alongside the Uruguayan this evening, with Philippe Coutinho dropping to the bench due to a slight injury, according to Brendan Rodgers.

The arrival of Tony Pulis has seen Palace stiffen up considerably. Prior to last week’s defeat against City, the London club had won five consecutive league matches, though whether they can keep the “SAS” in check tonight is another matter entirely.

Our Twitter feed carries all the news from tonight’s team sheets, while the Dugout Discussion chatroom remains open to collect your real-time reactions to this evening’s events.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    Okay, so now the panic is gathering a bit of momentum...

    Me: Mata*, Evra, Aguero* + 46 (*may not start / feature)
    Rival: Gerrard, YYT, Delph, Vlaar

    Gerrard (on 4 already) will most likely bring that lead below 40 so then I'm relying on YYT not to go ballistic. Gulp.

    Anyone happen to know Joe Jordan's personal life quite well? Fairly sure he lives a few doors down from me on my road in Bristol as I saw someone who looked identical to him at a glance after work today, and wikipedia tells me he lives in Bristol....

    If it's him, he's getting a letter through his gate immediately with a request for job advice in football 😀
