Liverpool’s top four ambitions come under scrutiny in Sunday’s next encounter, as Jurgen Klopp’s charges make their way to the London Stadium to face a buoyant West Ham United.

Boosted by last Friday’s 1-0 victory over London rivals Spurs, Slaven Bilic’s side will provide a stern test of Liverpool’s credentials; the Hammers have kept three successive clean sheets heading into this match.

The Reds will surely look to Philippe Coutinho for inspiration.

The Brazilian is comfortably the top owned asset on show in this afternoon kick-off, with the midfielder still part of 18.8% of squads.

He has suffered from significant recent sales, however: more than 221,000 managers have moved Coutinho out of their squads over the previous two Gameweeks. A modest 14-point return over his last four Gameweeks, featuring just a single goal, proved damaging.

Coutinho’s profit from this match is likely to have the main impact on our Gameweeks, then, with only minor interest elsewhere.

Roberto Firmino – part of 10.5% of squads – misses out, while Daniel Sturridge earns a rare start, his first since Gameweek 20.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Sturridge (C) next week looks like a no brainer, but a lot are gonna jump on it.

    With me chasing a 25 point gap, need to take a risk but who?

    No relegation battle and top 4 could be settled before sunday.

      edit: meant Coutinho (C)

      Don't think a game against West Brom is a 'no brainer'

      1. jimmy12
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        probably right
        tempted to go Kane captain against as he's going for golden boot

        1. Differentiator
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          That's the one i'd go for

      2. Differentiator
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Fail. Meant Boro, but they'll sit tight

      3. Sims

        1. Differentiator
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          West Boro

  3. Ziro

    Oscar's great grandson coming on.

  4. Fred54
    • 11 Years

    Did Coutinho make 60 mins today?

    1. sunzip14
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      he was on course to making 60points 😛

  5. Rainer
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Biggest talent ever seen in the stadium, Coutinho, goes off.

    1. Sims
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Sanchez

    2. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Pfft, Mo Farah won twice in this stadium.

    3. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      I guess this is the first event you have seen at the stadium

      Not just footballers have performed here

      1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Man thinks coutinho is better than neymar lol

        1. Rainer
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          It was evident that you were bad, didn't think you were this bad...

  6. nkhoughton
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Who sell for a pool attacker

    Alexis Hazard Eriksen Sane
    Kane Jesus

    1. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      None

    2. Pompel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Same problem. If Hazard expected to play, thinking Eriksen + Jesus -> Cout + Studge.

  7. Duffy Dunk
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Those Arsenal and Mcity Tuesday fixtures will be goalfests

    1. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Only Arsenal... Man City game will be 1-0

    2. Harper_
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Don't think city will score too many v west brom tbh

  8. Dreams
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    The number of people criticising Liverpool is unbelievable here. It's really sad.

  9. Ravager
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Just came here to see how many Coutinho regrets

    1. Ziro
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      How many have you counted to?

      1. Ravager
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Saw at least 3 with just a brief glance at the last page...I expect more after the game.

  10. EDEN THE MAN
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Gabbiadini+Sane or Hazard to Sturridge+T.Caroll? (-4)

    Will have a front 7 of

    Sanchez,Hazard,Coutinho,King
    Kane,Jesus,Sturridge

    for gw38

    Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated

    1. Pep says
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      You asked this 5mins ago. There's nearly half the gw still to go. Why not wait and see what happens.

      1. Epic Fail
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Why would anyone wait? Don't be silly.

  11. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 16 Years

    Arsenal win next 2

    Liverpool to draw v boro with a late equaliser from chambers

    1. Sims
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      After a slip from coutinho

  12. Wilshere Knowledge
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Is Firmino out for the season?

    1. Epic Fail
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      No, just the next game.

      1. Dreams
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Brilliant one.

    2. nkhoughton
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      well its only 1 more game so likely

    3. Ziro
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Asked no one ever 😉

      1. Wilshere Knowledge
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        I think people are too upset to be helpful. 😆

        1. Ziro
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          😀

  13. AdamB
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    A) Hazard and Costa (vs. SUN) +4
    B) Coutinho and Sturridge (vs. Boro)
    ?

  14. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Mathematically what can still happen this season.

    Can someone please explain.

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      3 points for a win
      1 for a draw
      0 for a loss

    2. fedolefan
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Nothing, take a screenshot of the table. It'll finish pretty much like this. Some mid table sides will swap around, but you won't even notice.

    3. Ravager
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      If Arsenal wants top 4, they have to win their next two and hope one of City/Pool slip.

    4. Ziro
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Football still an XI vs XI game.
      Also 3 subs allowed per side per game.

  15. We Will Klopp you
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Entire midfield has gotten double figures to date (Sane, Coutinho, Sanchez) - no pressure Alli and Eriksen 😉

  16. Feloh
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    eriksen hattie incoming. @erik wagon unite

    1. Arctic monkeys
      • 12 Years

  17. vectorman

    9 years, 3 months ago

    Could Ronka potentially not make the top 10K? he must be bricking it lol. He's in a good position too I know but

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      It's an algorithm bot. They don't have feelings.

      1. vectorman
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        LOL, if only I could program an algorithm bot that good.

        1. Team Cruel
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          You can. All you need is access to stats.

    2. Epic Fail
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      No idea. I don't stalk him like most.

      1. vectorman
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        I have, even studied how he plays.. Done a week by week analysis 😀

  18. Arctic monkeys
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    People complaining about SGW outscoring DGW, you would have never thought of having Coutinho over Sanchez Hazard Spurs Mid City Mid.
    Get over it.

    1. vectorman
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Oooooooooooooh.. 😀

    2. Mark-O
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      King is a must

      Never expected Coutinho..

      1. Arctic monkeys
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Exactly

    3. Stinglikeabee
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      True dat

    4. Deus
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      I planned to have Coutinho, but sold him for Hazard after the injury. Couldnt found the way to have both(

  19. Rainer
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Not a bad result 😎

    1. Jafooli
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Lucky.....and ref played a huge part.

  20. Stinglikeabee
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    I have 6 players in spurs v United game but I don't know how to feel about it.

    DDG
    Blind
    Carrick
    Kane
    Alli
    Vertonghen

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      You want them all to be red carded.

    2. We Will Klopp you
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      You're pretty well set for most possible results, from 4-0 Spurs to 0-0 with 10 De Gea saves

      1. Stinglikeabee
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Yeah. That's what my thinking is. DDG could be busy. Blind could be sent off

    3. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      0-0 ideal for you IMO

    4. Harper_
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Umm, you want them to all do well?

  21. Ha.
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    So I'd everyone doing Haz > Cou?

    1. Epic Fail
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Yes, everyone.

      1. Ha.
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

    2. MTPockets
      9 years, 3 months ago

      kdb > cou surely

      1. Ha.
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Oh yeh, this because Haz > KDB this week

    3. Stinglikeabee
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      I think I need Sanchez as well . Could take a minus 8 to get them both in depending on the gap I have in my ML

  23. Sandy Ravage

    Coutinho > KDB (c) was a no-brainer after the last gw

    1. Deus
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Why?
      KDB has 1 game and everyone intantly mad

  24. Son of Rambo

    1. Mark-O
