The final match of Gameweek 32 arrives this evening as Liverpool entertain struggling Newcastle at Anfield. Brendan Rodgers’ side are reeling from back-to-back losses against United and Arsenal have all but ended their Champions League hopes, though the Reds will be looking to build on their midweek cup win at Blackburn.

Philippe Coutinho will be hoping to add to his Ewood Park winner and improve upon a run which has harvested a single assist in the last four Gameweeks. Jordan Henderson has struck in four of the last five league fixtures and is the Merseysiders’ form man as Fantasy managers are afforded the chance to scout their assets ahead of double Gameweek 34. Elsewhere for the home side, Raheem Sterling will be looking to return to form against a defence with just two shut-outs in the last 19 Gameweeks – he seems poised to start up front after Daniel Sturridge was ruled out with yet another injury.

John Carver’s side arrive on the back of a four-match losing streak that has seen them score a single goal. With Papiss Cisse still suspended, the Magpies look likely to struggle again and with injuries hitting hard at the back, there’s been little on offer to grab our attentions on Tyneside. With four home fixtures in the final six, in addition to trips to Leicester and QPR, the upcoming schedule suggests Carver’s men could bring in the points if they can start performing.

    You may be the Liverpool captain for coming years, but Henderson will never live down the moment just now where Obertan megged him πŸ˜†

      Have had that for a little while now. Captained Remy this week, didn't even pay attention to the VC and it happened to be on Kun haha.

      Any idea what happened? Just got in from a day out with the family and I see he's not even made the bench!

      Benteke to Sturridge, not my finest moment!

      1. Piggs Boson
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        Injury in training apparently.

      He'll walk it off.

      1. Wilshere Knowledge

        And Coutinho up front? What's Rodgers doing??

        1. Davido989
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 8 months ago

          It's working to be fair. Should be 2/3 up

          1. Wilshere Knowledge
            • 12 Years
            10 years, 8 months ago

            Probably would be 2/3 up if Sterling was up front. πŸ˜‰ So many gaps through the middle.

    Sterling down

  16. Bøwstring The Carp

    Ibe could be a nice cheeky punt for the DGW

  17. Les Bleus
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Simply amazing assist by Henderson. He passes it to Sterling on the wing. Sterling then dribbles past two and curls it in. Amazing assist though.

    1. ellelelle
      • 11 Years

      it was class

      Hard to choose 2 out of Coutinho / Henderson / Sterling for the double, Sterling most definitely but Cout/Hendo is tough

      1. Boydinho
        • 10 Years

        why not all three?

    Mignolet really turned it around...
    And Coutinho needs to be more selfish!

    Half time stat attack for you

    Sterling got off to a flyer, with three goals and an assist in his first four starts this season (57% goal involvement).

    Since then (in all competitions):

    Up front - 18 starts, 8 goals, 7 assists (54% goal involvement)
    Not up front - 20 starts, 4 assists (19% goal involvement)

    1. Lallana_
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      I'm getting him for the DGW if he's not injured.

    2. ralfb
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Cant be too difficult for rodgers to see where not to play sterling?

    3. Bøwstring The Carp
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Personally I see him as a better winger than a striker, but the stats do suggest he's more useful to the team up front

  23. Lallana_
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    I never thought Henderson would be one of the best passers in the league. He just needs to add goals to his game.

    1. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      His passing is very underrated for some reason.

  24. The Enlightener

    Sterling grabbing lower leg there at the half. He has Caribbean roots, and you know what that means.....according to Sturridge, at least.http://www.theguardian.com/football/2014/oct/29/daniel-sturridge-liverpool-hereditary-injury

    Pretty annoying as would like to see both.

    1. Davido989

      WHAT! That is so annoying.

    2. Wouter

      Just record one and cut off all contact with the outside world, like that HIMYM episode where they recorded the Superbowl.

    3. Alan The Llama

      One's on Saturday, the other on Sunday.

      1. Declan
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        Nope

        1. Alan The Llama
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 8 months ago

          You might want to double check that. They're both being played at Wembley, so the pitch might get a bit crowded.

          1. Declan
            • 15 Years
            10 years, 8 months ago

            They're both Saturday πŸ˜•

            1. Alan The Llama
              • 16 Years
              10 years, 8 months ago

              So where do you think they're being played? If they're both at Wembley, you'll be able to watch the second pair come out 10 minutes after the first game kicks off.

                  Sorry, my error. For some reason I thought you were talking about the two semi finals. It's been a long day.

      20M too...

    2. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Swung a leg. Definitely a pen. Lovren is a great technician, has great character and epitomises what we are trying to build. πŸ˜†

    3. Wouter
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Saw somewhere that he has always been useless, but got away with the exact same mistakes at Southampton for some reason.

      1. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        Fonte did all the work but Lovren scored a few goals. Probably why he got more "famous".
