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.

        Alonso THE WORST value

        1. Podge
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          He’ll score more than most strikers this year

            • 9 Years

            But poor value in comparison to other defenders

    Mustafi header offside, but what a save by alisson nonetheless

    What happened to Robertson's attacking returns? all the attention seems to be on Alonso instead.

    1. TheSteel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Only 2 assists in his last 15.

    Come on Salah. Do not blank

  10. Zladan

    Robbo (0) to Digne (2) not looking so bad now.

    1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
      • 9 Years

      Robbo might get 1

  11. Limited & Mediocre Mana…

    1. Forza Papac

      Wrong. Liverpool fans reliably informed me that he's world class.

  13. JustPark

    Expected total pts for these 3 at the back this gw?
    Alonso, Robbo, Bavies

    1. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      What difference does it make?

      1. JustPark
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Ease the pain.

  14. Monya Meow Meow

    Torreria down.

  17. diesel001

    7 years, 3 months ago

    Still think Laca should have started ahead of Auba for this match. Auba can't link up the play. Clinical, but he will be in VVD's pocket, so better to have a forward who will pass it off to the midfield runners.

    1. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Bench the top scorer in the PL?

  18. BigBillyBass

    Most bonus points ever given out in the history of the game in Fulham v Hudds?

      • 16 Years

      It's not. I recall a 0-0 a few years ago where 8 players were awarded points.

      1. BigBillyBass
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        “During the war...”

    Wow 😆

    1. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      It was deleted for good reason tbh (if that’s what your referring to)

      1. Zladan
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        What was deleted?

      2. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        If only racism was dealt with as quick as silly jokes 🙂

    Can feel a score under 30 this GW.

  21. skybluecam

    Lol, 4 players on for one BP from Fulham

  22. Pompel
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    As a Liverpool fan with only Auba and Lovren in this match, Fabinho and Auba goals in a 3-2 would suit me fine

  23. The Train Driver
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Wasn't a Mane assist? 🙁

  24. Stoic
