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

    As a Origi and Lallana owner I'm not sure should I be disappointed with those substitutions or not. Yes the yare taken off 20 min before the end, but maybe they are rested for the City game?

      Origi's movement was terrible today. I kept screaming at the screen for him to make more runs. Studge comes on and gets a goal by making a run in anticipation. Origi stands around like a traffic cone hoping the ball bobbles through to him.

          He's definitely gone soon, which is a shame given his price. I imagine he'll play versus Sunderland given that Firmino is due in court that day...but I doubt that he's in the team beyond then
