Defensive changes for Liverpool as Salah eyes more goals at Arsenal

Mohamed Salah (£13.0m), Sadio Mané (£9.8m) and Roberto Firmino (£9.3m) have all been named in a strong Liverpool signed to face Arsenal this afternoon.

The devastating forward trio have featured together sparingly in recent weeks but the trip to the Emirates means back-to-back starts along one another for the second league match in a row.

Jurgen Klopp has made changes in defence with Andrew Robertson (£6.4m) returning at left-back after missing out on the Gameweek 10 win over Cardiff.

Also coming back in is Joe Gomez (£5.1m), with Dejan Lovren (£4.9m) absent from the match squad and Alberto Moreno (£4.2m) dropping to the bench.

Alexandre Lacazette (£9.7m) and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£10.9m) start together for the second match in a row for Arsenal, while Henrikh Mkhitaryan (£6.8m) is named on the team sheet for the first time since Gameweek 9.

Sead Kolasinac (£4.9m) is set for his first Premier League minutes of the campaign as he lines up at left-back for Arsenal.

ARSENAL XI: Leno; Bellerín, Holding, Mustafi, Kolasinac; Torreira, Xhaka; Mkhitaryan, Özil, Aubameyang; Lacazette

LIVERPOOL XI: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, Van Dijk, Robertson, Fabinho, Milner, Wijnaldum, Mane, Salah, Firmino.

    Spurs put on Juan Foyth who is not in FPL.

    Please don’t tell me after touching two Arsenal players that, that is a Mane assist?

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      No chance. Deluded owners.

    2. Tsparkes10
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Nah it wont be

    3. Ha.
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      It shouldn’t be

    4. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Exactly

  4. R.C
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    What will Foyth be priced at? 4m?

    1. FPL.team
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      5m probably.

  5. F4L
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    unassisted Milner goal

  6. EgyptianKing
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    No Mane assist?

  7. Top Lad Dakes.
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Should not be a mane assist. Keeper saved and defender deflection both after his cross.

  8. Bubz
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    No assist obviously

  9. Miguel Sanchez
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    No mane assist on fpl

  10. TorresMagic™
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    No Mane assist on FPL

    1. Numb
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

  11. Crouching Tiger
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Shouldn't be Mane assist unless FPL towers has him.

  12. HurriKane
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    So looks like Mane can cover Salah after all? (for 3m less)

    1. twoplustwo
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      This has been obvious all season

    2. Bring the Cavalry
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Yeah by getting 3 points

  13. MTPockets
      5 years, 6 months ago

      If Arnie gets an assist I want my Mane assist.

    • Royal5
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Clear assist

      1. Konig Luther
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        defender touched

    • How Mina You
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      1. Podge
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        No

    • Ady87
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Is it because it was a cross or not?

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        That's a good start.

      5 years, 6 months ago

      Such a tense phase of the game it has me missing seeing Wenger in his trenchcoat jacket struggling to unzip it whilst rocking back and forth clutching a water bottle and ready to bury his head in Bould's chest 😥

        • 10 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        No I’ve seen FPL assists like that given before when it’s not massively changed the direction of the ball.

        1. Cilly Bonnolly
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          AQfter the TWO touches, the direction was changed.

    • twoplustwo
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      I love a good assist debate on FFS

    • rambo.
