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

  12. Les Bleus

    Iheanacho and Origi have been the most useless transfers all season.

    1. Ravager

      Same here. Lol, my third slot went to crap once Austin got injured.

    Thank you for repaying the faith Sir Bobby.

    I hate it. Just hate it. That disgrace just had to score didn't he?

    Well done firmino holders!

    Fortunate goal by Firmino but in fairness Liverpool clearly deserve the lead.

    1. Somalion
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Yep, think Stoke need a couple of HT changes.

      1. Danstoke82
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Liverpool have worked out our strategy. We must go at their defence but are seemingly very defensive now

    2. goriuanx
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Good start but you guys. Could've been 2 up. Lovren and Mignolet gifted the first goal.

      1. Danstoke82
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Still can't believe Crouch didn't stick his lanky leg out on that loose ball. He didn't even try

  21. Lawrø

    Origi and Mane owner 😎

    *internal screaming*

    1. Kiwivillan

      My ML leader

  22. Wilshere Knowledge

    Goals were inevitable, given how much he hits the bar.

  23. fedolefan
    • 10 Years

    Get that hatty Bobby!! Do something Mane.

  24. EmreCan Hustle

    Quality player. Keep him.
    We'll have to ignore price rises and keep faith in players this season.

    Thanks Firmino 🙂

  25. TheSteel

    Firmino owners deserved that after holding on blank after blank.

    1. EmreCan Hustle
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Yes we did. Hope he can do an Ibra.

  26. The Overthinker
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Removed firmino for Walcott 🙂

    On top of the world

  27. Wild Rover

    Makes me laugh that people think we thought Firmino would never score again when we sold him. I feel really punished. 🙄

    1. Ziro
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      My thoughts exactly. He's the best pool player. Just can't keep holding when points don't come. We managers are human

      He offers 4 goals and one assist in 6 games at the moment....
