After Palace and Newcastle shared the spoils at Selhurst Park, we now make our way to Anfield as Liverpool entertain Spurs at 4.30pm.

Fantasy Premier League (FPL) interest is substantial for Sunday’s late encounter, with Golden Boot rivals Harry Kane (17.3%) and Mohamed Salah (13.1%) among the top three captain picks for Gameweek 26.

Kane – who rolls up to Merseyside on the back of nine goals in his last six league starts – has already plundered 16 FPL points against Jurgen Klopp’s troops in a 4-1 home win back in Gameweek 9.

He was handed the armband by 12 of the top 100 FPL managers ahead of yesterday’s deadline, with 19 of those opting for Salah instead.

The Egyptian remains the most consistent source of points in FPL, with a goal or assist in 14 of his last 16 league appearances.

Ominously for Mauricio Pochettino’s team, Salah has delivered double-digits in each of his last two at Anfield as the Reds look to avenge their Wembley mauling.

Meanwhile, Roberto Firmino is the seventh top armband pick for this round of fixtures, though just 3.2% of managers have backed the Brazilian, who has served up six goals and three assists in his last seven starts.

Like Salah, both Dele Alli and Son Heung-Min were also among the goals in that previous head-to-head and will fancy their chances against a defence that shipped three goals to Man City in their last home match.

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

    Come on Harry. That's Karius. Of course he doesn't move an inch.

    Neville banging on about Kane's stuttering run up... It's obvious he was reckoning the keeper would dive one way or another. Lots of penalty takers stick it down the middle, but looks bad when the keeper doesn't move!

    That's a Kane ban, right?

        For the dive

    2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus

      Blatant dive

    As a Salah(c) - I don't care about losing BAPS to Karius. That Kane pen miss was worth it.

    That's the worst pen ever

      You obviously haven't seen Benteke take penalties

  17. yakirh
    • 9 Years

    Nobody will captain Kane vs Arsenal

    1. George Sillett
      • 10 Years

      It looks like it would have been worth the transfers to get rid of Kane for these 3 tough games.

      Surely now is the time to get Kane in , or to be more precise - next Saturday when he's hopefully at 12.6
