The shortened Gameweek 28 comes to a conclusion this afternoon when Liverpool entertain Burnley at Anfield.

With Sadio Mane and Philippe Coutinho both among the top 10 players transferred in this week, many Fantasy managers will be hoping the Liverpool midfield duo can wreak havoc against a Burnley side that has managed just one clean sheet on their travels this season.

Mane has produced five double-figure hauls at Anfield, helping explain why over 8% of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) bosses have handed the Senegal international the captain’s armband.

Coutinho, meanwhile, found the back of the net in the 3-1 defeat to Leicester City in Gameweek 26, and slowly looks to be returning to his best form.

Roberto Firmino was also brought in by over 103,000 FPL managers, but the Brazilian has been ruled out due to a knock, with Divock Origi taking his place in the starting XI.

The Reds will have to get past Tom Heaton though, who returns for Burnley after missing the 3-2 defeat to Swansea City due to illness, providing a boost for his 19% ownership in FPL.

Liverpool did, of course, lose 2-0 to the Clarets in the reverse fixture in Gameweek 2, and will be hoping to improve on their dismal record against teams from the bottom half, having lost to Swansea City, Hull City and Leicester over the last six Gameweeks.
