Dugout Discussion – Liverpool vs Stoke City

4,638 Comments
Share

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

    Such a good chance for Stoke there. Allen looks promising.

    Really can't decide between Jones and Cedric

    Jones: MID whm LIV sto HUL

    Cedric: WBA eve bur LEI swa

    Think Jones has a bit better fixtures, but Cedric makes up for that with his attacking potential

    Sold Kun a couple of weeks before his red, but he will come back hungry and City scores goals so I'm torn between the these two options, any advice?

    A) Kun & Can
    B) Hazard & Rondon

    Why has Kloop kept starting Henderson ?

    Slow down the counter-attack with some poor passes.

      I was just internally slating him. Goalkeepers aside that's the position we need to strengthen the most, he's far from good enough.
