Dugout Discussion – Liverpool vs Stoke City

Gameweek 18 rolls on this evening as Liverpool welcome Stoke to Anfield in a 5.15pm kick-off.

Owned by over 21% of Fantasy Premier League managers, Sadio Mane’s home form suggests he’s the man most likely to wreak havoc against the Potters – the Senegal international has scored or assisted in six of seven Anfield appearances since arriving from Southampton over the summer.

Divock Origi, with goals in all but one of the last five Gameweeks, retains his starting berth, with Jurgen Klopp set to unleash Daniel Sturridge from the bench once again.

Roberto Firmino also keeps his place as he attempts to end a run of six straight blanks.

For the Potters, Joe Allen is the form player – he’s bagged a goal and assist in the last three Gameweeks as he prepares to face his former club for the first time since moving to the bet365.

Between the posts, Lee Grant has produced at least one save point in each of the last four and should be kept busy again as the hosts look for the win that would see them leapfrog Man City into second.

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

    That's what happens when you leave 3 players up front staring at the keeper.

    I can fit in Costa, Kane and Zlatan in my team with an average midfield.

    Should I just do it?

      Would have been stupid to do it the other way round without hindsight.

    Liverpool couldn't make one decent keeper out of Mignilet & Karius!

    Hopeless!

    After the goal my little boy said "they should get rid of the goalkeeper"

    I asked why - "because hes bad"

    The kids learning.

      He ain't wrong Andy.

      Your little boy will go far in the football coaching world - he seems to know more than many in the Premier League.

    Liverpool will never win a league with Mignolet in goal. Literally no chance.

    1. Somalion

      Crap attempt at a save, but the defending was brutal.
