Liverpool take on Arsenal in the sixth fixture of Gameweek 20, with kick-off at Anfield at 17:30 GMT.

Over 1.1 million Fantasy managers have handed the captaincy to Mohamed Salah this weekend, while just under 415,000 FPL bosses have given the armband to Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

Both of these premium assets start this evening.

Jurgen Klopp has opted for an attacking 4-2-3-1 again for this fixture, with Xherdan Shaqiri keeping his place alongside Salah, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino.

The Reds’ back four remains unchanged and indeed Klopp’s only alteration from the side that beat Newcastle sees Jordan Henderson drop out and Fabinho replace him.

Unai Emery has made four changes to his Arsenal side following the draw against Brighton on Boxing Day, with Aaron Ramsey, Ainsley Maitland-Niles, Alex Iwobi and the fit-again Shkodran Mustafi replacing Laurent Koscielny, Matteo Guendouzi, Alexandre Lacazette and Mesut Ozil.

Ozil is absent from the squad with what is believed to be a knee injury.

Arsenal appear to be lining up in a 3-4-2-1, with Iwobi and Ramsey supporting Aubameyang in attack.

The Gabonese forward was the fifth-most-sold FPL player of Gameweek 20, despite registering three goals in his last two starts.

Salah meanwhile is averaging 11.75 points per match over the last four Gameweeks.

Liverpool XI (4-2-3-1): Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Lovren, van Dijk, Robertson, Wijnaldum, Fabinho, Shaqiri, Firmino, Mane, Salah.

Arsenal XI (3-4-2-1): Leno, Lichtsteiner, Sokratis, Mustafi, Kolasinac, Xhaka, Torreira, Maitland-Niles, Ramsey, Iwobi, Aubameyang.

    Wilson to Vardy for a hit worked well. Anyone see the match ? I'm guessing he was subbed early due to poor performance ?

    1. BENOIT
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Doubt it. Fans booed the decision

              Watching the game now. In the first 34 minutes Vardy is very anonymous and the only real threat has been Maddison but has been equal to everything.

    Ditch Man City assets now to avoid being priced out for Pogba long term or reassess after tomorrow's games?

    1. BENOIT
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Don’t get the Pogba hype

      1. Garlana
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Check last two scores, hard to ignore for his price.

        1. BENOIT
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Meh. He won’t score from outside the box every week

          1. Garlana
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            He has great assist potential too.... potentially 🙂

    2. Pinturicchio10
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Reassess. Wouldn't be surprised if City hit Southampton for 4 or 5.

      • MTPockets

          "to avoid being priced out for Pogba long term" Really?

            • 7 Years

            I've obviously had too much thinking time today with only 4 players playing. I get the message.

      • Eytexi
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        How's 20 points from 4? Difficult to compare when most have had 5/6/7 and captain play.

        1. BENOIT
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Solid

          If it's from 4 defenders it's amazing.

          1. Eytexi
            • 7 Years

            Kane, Jimi, Doherty, Robbo.

            True.

            I have him, AWB, Bennett and Camarasa in a 4 way rotation.

            If you don't play him at home to Hudds then never him. Camarasa says hi from my bench though 🙁

          • 9 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Ouch, it's a harsh stat, but true. I think we all remember the Kane of old and look at his potential if he could resurrect the same type of form, but he's just not doing it now for his price.

        5. Clintymints
          • 16 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Bottled Kane cap and went for Salah at 1:59

          Just felt better and I'm glad I done it

          Alarming but still happy to keep

          See how tomorrow goes. Sterling short term, maybe Kane long term.

        3. XabiAlonso

      • Don Kloppeone
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Was planning on holding off getting Salah until I lose Son in GW22 but obv having second thoughts. What do you think about:
        Sané, Luiz > Salah, Digne (-4)
        ?
        Would mean no City players though...

        1. Bucket Man
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Would wait on it for now, although Liverpool could score big on counter. City could bounce back tommorow.

        1 FT ahead of next week, thinking of doing:

        Kane > Auba - or is this mad?

        I own Salah, Hazard, Pogba, Richarlison, Jiminez already.

        I want Salah, but don't know who to take out. (3.8m IB) any suggestions?

        GK: Fabianski
        Def: Trippier, Robertson, Wan-Bissaka
        Mid: Felipe Anderson, Hazard, Eriksen, Pogba, Richarlison
        forwards: Rashford, Agüero

        Hamer , Bennett ,Cédric, Kamara, Bennett

        Where can I find news about Chicharito? Would like to know if I'll be getting Camarasa of the bench.
