We make our way to Anfield as Liverpool and Manchester United go head-to-head in Saturday’s early kick-off.

Having scored seven times in as many matches, Romelu Lukaku arguably faces his toughest challenge of the season against a defence that’s shipped just one goal in front of their own fans.

Henrikh Mkhitaryan could be on his last chance for many Fantasy owners. After a strong start to the season, the Armenian’s influence has waned of late – he’s managed just a goal and assist in five and has Spurs and Chelsea in the subsequent three.

For Liverpool, interest in Philipp Coutinho is on the rise after he served up two goals and an assist in the last two Gameweeks.

Meanwhile, Mo Salah – the most owned midfielder in FPL – looks to replicate the form that has produced double-digits in both his home starts for the Merseysiders.

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

    Coutinho coming in next week, unless he rises.

    1. The Royal Robin
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Who for? I'd like him too, but the only way I'd be able to do it for free is Eriksen out.

      1. FALCAO & MOU
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        I got money ITB, planning either Vardy to Morata/Jesus or Arnautovic to Coutinho.

        1. The Royal Robin
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          I wouldn't sell Vardy. I'm trying to get him in!

          1. FALCAO & MOU
            • 11 Years
            8 years, 6 months ago

            Yep, Coutinho is perfect for me right now.

    2. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Away to Spurs?

      1. FALCAO & MOU
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Spurs concede, and Coutinho is pretty classy.

        1. The Royal Robin
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          This. Does it matter who Coutinho is playing?

    Salah or lukaku returns please, something

    2. Jay_
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Same here, have a feeling 2 o'clock will throw a surprise though and will end up cheering a CS last 15 minutes. Only for the benched player to 1 point cameo

        1. diesel001
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          Jesus. Needs a rest after playing for Brazil. Will get a cameo though.

          1. Jay_
              8 years, 6 months ago

              Yeah him or maybe even Eriksen

              1. Jay_
                  8 years, 6 months ago

                  How are you anyway mate. Had some fun over the summer with the cricket, was good.

                    Yeah - I'm good thanks. How's things with you? Fantasy cricket was good fun.

              Jay, can you see Chicharito starting up front today?

                  Nope

              Same here, decided for it in the last 5 mins before the deadline too.

            United CS points added early. Efficient work from FPL Towers!

                8 years, 6 months ago

                Remember when Young & Milner double up for Villa was essential? Both 8.5's & shared pens, fks, corners, scored & assisted loads. Ahhhh... good times

                1. FALCAO & MOU
                  • 11 Years
                  8 years, 6 months ago

                  Young won young player of the year or something.

            2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus

              Jesus on bench might be too bad if Utd keep a CS - Jones first sub

              It is uncanny how obvious it is that Mourinho plays for 0-0 away to big teams

              1. diesel001
                • 9 Years
                8 years, 6 months ago

                Good strategy IMO. If you win all your games against teams outside the top 6 home and away you will win the title. So look to do that and then pick up 0-0s away from home against the top 6 and try to win at home.

              2. Ghost Gooner
                • 12 Years
                8 years, 6 months ago

                Thought he wouldn't do it this year due to having a better team now. Pep is going to trounce him

              With the amount of pressure we're putting Utd under it's only a matter of time before they score

              United playing like Burnley.

                This is how you beat Liverpool though.

                You're doing Burnley a disservice there

              In hindsight it should have been obvious this would end 0-0

                Well actually no as Manutd better team than Liv now. Very frustrating that Mou got scared still and parking the bus

                United were always going to park the bus, but Liverpool are good at derbies, so not really.

              • 14 Years
              8 years, 6 months ago

              If Liverpool had a natural goalscorer they would be decent.

                8 years, 6 months ago

                Sturridge.

                If they had a fit natural goalscorer*

                  • 14 Years
                  8 years, 6 months ago

                  • 11 Years

                  He is fit and he's doing nothing of late 😀

                  1. Postman Ty
                    • 11 Years
                    8 years, 6 months ago

                    How can you even try to call him fit. He's played 1 full game in the first 7, and hasn't played 1000 minutes in the last 3 seasons. If he played more than 2 games in a row his legs would fall off.

              2. Odikostar
                • 11 Years
                8 years, 6 months ago

                Imagine a Morata for example, would get so many chances

                1. Royal5
                  • 14 Years
                  8 years, 6 months ago

                  Yep. These attacking mids are wasting tons of chances.

                • 16 Years
                8 years, 6 months ago

                Lukaku is a natural goal scorer & he gets constantly slated on here

              4. Sánchez
                • 13 Years
                8 years, 6 months ago

                Been the case since Suarez left

            18. Gobigorgohome
              • 14 Years

            19. Pariße
              • 11 Years
              8 years, 6 months ago

              I guess benching Jones was a very reasonable decision. United not conceding is starting to look like pure luck.

              1. Postman Ty
                • 11 Years
                8 years, 6 months ago

                That's all this game is. Reasonable decisions and luck.
