The Numbers Game – Liverpool’s Midfield

Lincoln City’s shock FA Cup win over Burnley has handed Fantasy managers an extra match to plan for ahead of Gameweek 28, with the Clarets’ visit to Liverpool now guaranteed.

One of only eight sides set to offer us a fixture in each of the next three Gameweeks, Jurgen Klopp’s men also face a favourable trip to Leicester City next Monday evening.

With the Alexis Sanchez exodus in full flow after Arsenal clinched a spot in the FA Cup quarter-finals on Monday night, thus depriving the Gunners of matches in Gameweek 26 and 28, we put the Merseysiders midfield options under the microscope.

First up, we’ll look at how Klopp’s attack is performing when compared with both the rest of the top-flight and their own season averages.

We then monitor the displays of their midfielders over each players’ respective last six matches, looking for signs of form at a time when many are turning to Sadio Mane on the back of his two-goal haul against Spurs last time out.

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

        It is a lot to do with the high pressing style of play leaves both City & Liverpool open to the counter attack and against a team like Monaco they will punish you

    So are footballers not allowed to bet on anything?
    I thought it was just match related betting, I am no expert but a fat keeper who wasn't playing eating a pie has never determined the outcome of a match before
    Please note I did no research on this or any other meat based food

      Its anything to do with anything which happens during the match pretty much. Whether it impacts the result, performance etc. is pretty irrelevant, what the Sutton keeper did is spot fixing.

    Article basically saying how Wenger only bought Sanchez on as he knew how much it would mean to Sutton

    Also this

    After a very special night, it has also been confirmed that Arsenal will be donating £50,000 to Sutton to help build two classrooms, that the club presented a silver cannon rather than pennant prior to kick-off, that the players left all their shirts in the away dressing room
