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.

    Mané, Lovren and Mignolet is at fault for that one - just shows how bad Pool defends

    Mignolet and Karius fighting out to see who can stay on the bench.

    Hughes' curve ball starting Crouch is proving unmanageable by Klopp so far.

    Mignolet 😆

    Despite the multiple horrific errors that's not a bad goal for us to concede, it's usually even worse!

    Pieters nearly another assist

      He crossed the ball and didn't beat the first man. Calm down.

    Allen close!

      It really was silly from Pool to sell Allen. From all their players, he was the best fit to Klopp's tactics. Played wonderfully last season.

    I really want peter crouch join the 100 club (reach 100 club PL goals) just to illustrate how good the PL is.
