After yesterday’s dramatic events, Sunday treats us to two more top-flight fixtures with Bournemouth hosting Liverpool in the early kick-off.

Still reeling from the loss of Philippe Coutinho to an ankle injury, Jurgen Klopp’s side will be looking to Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane to make the difference.

Fully recovered from a minor calf complaint, Firmino has netted in two of his last three road trips. Mane, though, needs to up his output on the road, having failed to score outside of Anfield since the season opener at Arsenal.

Divock Origi has the chance to flourish as a short-term option up top – having netted in the last two across all competitions, the Belgian leads the line at the Vitality this afternoon.

Bournemouth will be no pushovers, though – over their last five home matches, Eddie Howe’s men have chalked up a trio of clean sheets and conceded just three times.

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

    Lovely, thank you Emre. Stats don't lie. I should look at more of them!

    All that talk about Firmino recovering. Doesn't look like he has at all...playing like a shell.

    1. Pinky Blinders
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Yes agreed, he looks at about 75%

  3. Kaneyonero
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Lallana to come on and score a brace

  4. Goodricke
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Mane off, lallana on. Come on firmino

    1. ihateramsey2

      Mane injured??

      1. Numb
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah

      2. Conk
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Looks tactical, but he was hobbling around for a few minutes before going off

  5. Chris_White

    Mane 20% ownership 😆

    1. Bleach †

      And thats funny because?

  6. tm245

    Firmino and Clyne owner here. Good times.

  7. ihateramsey2
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    does Mane really have to go to AFCON???

  8. Differentiator
    • 10 Years

    Sold Mane last night to get in Sanchez 🙂

  9. darthwader
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    There you go. Mane off Lallana on

  10. HurriKane
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Damn coutinho and mane injured. Firmino will be surely impacted by this

    Firmino to Eriksen looking much better

    1. Differentiator
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Hard to say, Lallana was in top form earlier this season. Mane is extremely wasteful 80% of the time

  11. FALCAO & MOU
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Lallana in, now Firmino will score. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes.

    Mane --> Hazard(-4) looks really good if Mane is injured right? No brainer?

    Liverpool midfield lottery continues....buy a ticket and stick with it for 3/4 gameweeks and you will get FPL points in one of the gameweeks

    1. tm245
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I might go with two tickets or no tickets.

  14. Kermit Special

    Mane is saving my gw after that heart attack Sanchez gave me yesterday

    1. Ghost86
      • 9 Years

  15. JamesFG

    Alright lads, any help appreciated.

    Midfield is Sanchez, Walcott, Firmino, Snodgrass, Capoue

    Got 1 FT, 3.0 ITB

    A) Snodgrass->Siggy
    B) Walcott->Hazard

    Cheers

      Take a look at Chelski fictures, that will answer your question.

    3. Pariße
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Same midfield as me a few weeks ago, I bought Siggy

  16. ihateramsey2
    • 10 Years

    Mane injured?? Jesus christ

  17. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 16 Years

    Mane dead

  18. PvA
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Why wasn't Firmino involved in any of the 3 goals?

    I don't have him, but he is on my radar

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Invisible.

    2. Valar(Keith)
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I'm surprised he can be seen on a radar atm

    3. HurriKane
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      nearly firmino assist

  19. Baines on Toast...
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Mane still sprinted, think he'll be fine.

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Hopefully he'll mist next GW as a precaution.

  21. Total Foot 5

    -4 for capoue > can?

    1 yes
    2 no way

    1. ImTheDude
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      If you got a ft and no other needs, make the transfer.

  22. Tansey
    • 11 Years

    Can doing skills is like a lorry doing donuts

    1. Eden ACCOUNT CLOSED
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Can afford to when he's banked 10 points already

  23. SirStevieG
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Sometimes I really question why I own Firmino.

    1. Ravager
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Then he scores the week after and you want to keep him forever. It's a lottery

  24. Eden ACCOUNT CLOSED
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Clyne suddenly a wing back since Lallana came on

  25. Sif
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Spent my FT on Kun > Kane. If Lukaku blanks -8 for?
    Lukaku > Austin
    Walcott > Alexis

    1. Pariße
      • 11 Years

      No

    1. Woy of the Wovers
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Fellaini probably on ManU bench.

  27. Pinky Blinders
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Milner hustles his butt off

  28. Conk
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Milner nearly scored a corner

  29. Jay_
      9 years, 4 months ago
