With an international break looming, we need to cherish this weekend’s action. Fortunately, on paper, the Gameweek looks to have plenty to offer us – beginning at Anfield for Liverpool’s clash with Chelsea.

Jose Mourinho’s side draw up on Merseyside sitting on the Premier League summit to find a faltering Liverpool outfit struggling for a foothold.

Brendan Rodgers men have just two wins in their last seven – a run that has prompted Fantasy managers to turn their backs on the men in red: even Raheem Sterling’s star has faded badly in recent weeks.

Sterling will have the opportunity to show his worth, going up against Chelsea’s cast of midfield heavyweights – Eden Hazard, Cesc Fabregas and Oscar. Meanwhile, up front, Fantasy managers will be monitoring Diego Costa’s sharpness. Once an “essential” asset, Costa’s recent injury woes have seen enthusiasm dampened – goals today would quickly reverse that.

The early kick-off is followed by a quartet of matches, before Chelsea’s title rivals, City, pay visit to Loftus Road.

Stick around to discuss the day’s action as it unfolds and keep one eye on our Twitter feed for all the lineup news.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Jeez as a Cahill owner im looking for this game to calm down

  3. Obi Wan Elokobi

    I don't think I'll watch a liverpool game this year without the commentators or everyone else going on about Balotellis stats so boring now. We know he's ****.

    1. The Finnisher
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      You mean you hate people repetitively bringing up how shit someone is?

      Weird, you do it with United every game on here.

      1. Nabs Kebabs

          19th in A-League 😎

          1. Nabs Kebabs
            • 14 Years
            11 years, 5 months ago

            😯

            nice!!

      2. Obi Wan Elokobi
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        I counteract the idiots who claim how good they are. I mean they were going to win the league after beating QPR. No one claims Balotellis good.

        1. The Finnisher
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          No point trying to justify it, you do it every game no matter what United fans are saying.

          1. Obi Wan Elokobi
            • 14 Years
            11 years, 5 months ago

            It's a bit different though it's the team I'm talking about I'm watching the team play. With Balotelli he's not the team and its so annoying every game is about him. No matter how well others play. Every report is Balotelli starts or he doesn't then about how many shots he had then how he didn't score then how lazy he is. There's other players on the pitch.

        2. Simon69
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          That's rubbish. Countless Liverpool fans were going on about how much of a "bargain" Balotelli was. Delighted.

          1. Obi Wan Elokobi
            • 14 Years
            11 years, 5 months ago

            At the start of the season people do move on (also a good piece of advise for Van Gaal)

            1. Simon69
              • 13 Years
              11 years, 5 months ago

              Get some ointment for your butt. Seems pretty hurt. Balotelli isn't very good is he?

      3. Captain Shirokov
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Shots fired

        1. The Finnisher

    1) Fecking Sterling!

    1. BeachBadger
      • 12 Years

      1. Saint & Reevesy

  15. Rats Ass
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Costa - Skrtl thing is gonna boil over at some point.

    1. Lucy.
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Agree. There's a red coming for one of them if they aren't careful.

      1. Rats Ass
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Skrtl will want payback for that shove in the back. Then depends how Costa reacts.

  16. Punty
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Clear yellow for costa, not even trying to get the ball just elbows skrtel in the back

    1. Captain Shirokov
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Nah, Skrtel dive

      1. Sif

    "Glen Johnson has got to be cleverer than that..."
    (Michael Owen)

    If only it was that simple

    1. isacki: full casual
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago
