Gameweek 8 comes to its conclusion this evening as Liverpool welcome Man United to Anfield.

Jurgen Klopp’s in-form outfit seek a fifth successive win in the top-flight and could even climb to the summit if they register a victory by a margin of four or more goals.

That’s perhaps unlikely yet, having netted nine times in two matches in front of their own supporters, the Reds will be in buoyant mood tonight.

The likes of Roberto Firmino, Philippe Coutinho and Sadio Mane will be keenly monitored by Fantasy managers as the Merseysiders prepare for a superb upcoming run of fixtures.

For United, the form of Zlatan Ibrahimovic is the main point of concern around these parts.

The big Swede has a single goal in five appearances and has already earned more transfers out than any other forward in the Gameweek.

Another blank and the exodus will surely pick up pace, given that Jose Mourinho then takes his side to former club Chelsea next Sunday – the Blues have chalked up back-to-back shut-outs since the switch to 3-4-3.

    A draw would be a very good result for utd, however dull it is.

    1. TOLV TUMS
      10 years, 21 days ago

      Agreed - especially given that they have pretty much had zero possession since Lallana came on.

    2. THE Wild Rover
      10 years, 21 days ago

      Won't get one 😉

  2. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    10 years, 21 days ago

    1. THE Wild Rover

    Valencia to Walker for a hit last week....how bad will that prove to be? -10 points?

    1. how now brown cow
      10 years, 21 days ago

      1. PaoloRabbiiiii
        10 years, 21 days ago

    1. Pochecinno
      10 years, 21 days ago

  17. Syd.
    10 years, 21 days ago

    Regardless of the result I have wasted 90 minutes of my life watching this Pooh

  18. Bruno Bruno!!
    10 years, 21 days ago

    is 9 points enough to see a rise in overall rank if game stays at 0-0

    1. Sjaugen
      10 years, 21 days ago

      Yes

  19. ChampChomp
    10 years, 21 days ago

    Liverpool fans chanting "you black bast@rd" or did I hear that wrong?

    1. THE Wild Rover
      10 years, 21 days ago

      Doubt it

      1. ChampChomp
        10 years, 21 days ago

        Maybe fat. Happened after Rashford collided with Milner, but thinking it was probably directed at Rooney now

    2. Shano23
      10 years, 21 days ago

      just lol

    3. SW6
      10 years, 21 days ago

      Manc probably

    4. Alan The Llama
      10 years, 21 days ago

      You heard it wrong, the word is "fat".

    5. KingNidge
      10 years, 21 days ago

      Fat i assume was prob Rooney warming up

    6. Krul Runnings
      10 years, 21 days ago

      You Manc bas**rd

    7. Jay_
      10 years, 21 days ago

      Manc I think, directed at Ref, or fat, at Rooney

    8. Ady87
      10 years, 21 days ago

      Manc not black or fat, on about the ref for giving it united away.

    9. Over Midwicket
      10 years, 21 days ago

      God I hope not

  20. Ady87
    10 years, 21 days ago

    Did Bailly > Walker.

    United fan but ffs.

  21. Rh4ziel
    10 years, 21 days ago

    God damn it this could be it, Mane>Firmino 🙁

    1. Sjaugen
      10 years, 21 days ago

      ??

  22. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    10 years, 21 days ago

    Slippin Daley

  23. FPL Footy Show Pod
    10 years, 21 days ago

    Can hit a ball Cout can't he!!

  24. Over Midwicket
    10 years, 21 days ago

    On comes Roonpig

  25. Bubz
    10 years, 21 days ago

    Im trying to figure out what would be better for rank. A Valencia clean sheet, or a Firmino/Mane goal...

    1. Jay_
      10 years, 21 days ago

      Firmino G, Mane A

      1. Bubz
        10 years, 21 days ago

        Well that would be nice but unlikely. I think more people have played Mane and Firmino in the top 10k than Valencia. So maybe I want him to keep the CS....

  26. Kante Be Bothered
    10 years, 21 days ago

    Penalty in 84th minute will win the game

    1. Gazpilicueta
      10 years, 21 days ago
