Dugout Discussion – Liverpool vs West Ham United

The final match of Gameweek 15 sees Liverpool welcome West Ham United to Anfield in the 4.30pm kick-off.

Both Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino are highly fancied against a Hammers defence that shipped five at home to Arsenal last weekend.

Mane has served up points in five of his six home outings, whilst Firmino will be looking to banish a three-match barren run and return to the form that has already seen him register 15 points in front of his own supporters on two occasions.

Divock Origi looks to score for the fourth successive match in all competitions to strengthen his claim as a mid-price festive frontman.

West Ham, meanwhile, have home encounters with Burnley and Hull followed by a trip to Swansea in the upcoming three Gameweeks.

We’ll be looking for signs of form from Dimitri Payet and the fit-again Michail Antonio, then, while big Andy Carroll is named amongst the subs against his former club, having emerged from the bench to net the Hammers’ consolation against Arsenal last time out.

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

      Yea, what the Hell has happened to him. Ever since his bosom buddy Coutinho got injured, he's drifted in to anonymity being all alone on the left.
      My fantasy team has bombed in last two weeks.

      Looks like Zaha will be in to replace him. Likewise, Arnautovic your history.

          Alli outscored him easily last season with a lot less minutes. People just say Eriksen because he scored well in 2 recent GWs and that is al they say plus FKs. Had them last season too and Ali still outscored him. Alli has also scored same amount of goals and assists this season. Just a matter of opinion I suppose.

            But he did talk to Mane fairly quickly afterwards, so not sure if he saw something.

            But I can't remember if FA can ban Mane IF the ref sees something, but doesn't realize how serious it was?

                Okay thanks. What is the 4th ref informs the 1st ref about what happened afterwards? In this case let's say Mark had a talk with Mane about it afterwards, because he heard from the 4th ref about it, but couldn't really give the card afterwards.

                  Well I still think it's a bit corrupt mate if I'm being honest. Like when Sergio got banned earlier in the season. The ref blatantly saw that then there was uproar and he denied seeing it.
