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

    Probably debated alot already - but Firmino has to go. Clearly not delivering the goods to defend the price tag. Seems to suffer from Coutino absence and Klopp's move to accomodate Origi. Who to bring in?

    0.3 ITB, so cannot go for Mané or Payet.
    Already got 3 x Chelsea.
    Just got rid of Walcott so wont go there.

    A) Siggi
    B) Eriksen
    C) Son (cheaper, save money for later)
    D) Lallana
    E) Mahrez
