Sunday’s second Premier League match sees Liverpool take on Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield. Kick-off on Merseyside is at 16:30 BST.

The Reds only have one fixture in Gameweek 32 but this is the first of two games for Spurs in this round of matches, with Crystal Palace the visitors to north London in midweek.

Son Heung-min is the highest-profile absentee from Mauricio Pochettino’s starting XI, with the South Korea international only among the substitutes.

Lucas Moura starts alongside Harry Kane instead, with Dele Alli and Christian Eriksen also included in the visitors’ line-up.

Pochettino appears to be adopting a three-man central defence, with Kieran Trippier and Danny Rose deployed as wing-backs.

Trent Alexander-Arnold has recovered from a back injury to take his place at right-back and there are few surprises in Jurgen Klopp’s starting XI, save for perhaps Fabinho‘s benching.

James Milner – who is widely accepted to be Liverpool’s first-choice penalty taker ahead of Mohamed Salah – starts in central midfield instead.

Salah, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino make up a familiar-looking front three, while Andrew Robertson, Alisson and Virgil van Dijk are predictable starters in the hosts’ backline.

Mane has only blanked twice in the last nine Gameweeks and was the third-most-bought midfielder of Gameweek 32, despite only having one fixture.

Salah, who comes into this match off the back of a two-week rest over the international break, was sold by well over half a million FPL bosses ahead of Saturday’s deadline.

Liverpool XI (4-3-3): Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Van Dijk, Robertson, Henderson, Wijnaldum, Milner, Mane, Salah, Firmino.

Spurs XI (3-4-1-2): Lloris, Alderweireld, Sanchez, Vertonghen, Trippier, Sissoko, Eriksen, Rose, Dele, Lucas, Kane.

      Thats the reason I went with Connolly, Puncheon & Quaner, couldn't be dealing with Romeu outscoring the whole midfield 😆

      Gutted for the boy. A reall talent.

      1. Rash

        7 years, 3 months ago

        Safety car at least gives him a podium.

    3. diesel001

      Ferrari don't want Leclerc to be an upstart. But I really hope it takes it to Vettel. Then we'll see Vettel the moaner return and he will lose it.

    Go on Danny Rose, grab a goal mate.

    How is Trippier starting? Is KWP fit? If so, why not him? Robertson having a field day, so much space to walk into.

    1. WVA
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Tripper has been absolutely awful defensively this season, can't believe he keeps starting

      1. JIMMY TUGGINS
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        The right sided Alonso.

    Barnes -> Auba ?

    1. FPL Pillars
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      No

    Is it too early to ask for a RMWCT for GW34? Got exact cash, will hope for no price changes and activate it friday night!

    Going super light in defence, it's absolute rubbish I know, but could still work. Don't think the premium defenders have easy enough fixtures, so might as well go cheap.

    Foster - Ryan
    Duffy - Cathcart - Valery - Jonny - Bennett
    Sterling - Pogba - Mané - Deulofeu - Knockaert
    Auba - Kane - Jimenez

    This gives me:
    - 3 Brighton-players for DGW34
    - 14 DGW-players + Mané for DGW35
    - Players with decent fixtures for the run-in
    - The option to TC Auba, Kane or Mané against Brighton, West Ham or Hudds.

    Thoughts?

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years

      Not a fan

    2. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      that defence could massively hinder you. otherwise sound enough reasoning

    Sarri still deserves the sack, regardless of the 3pts today. Sadly probably won't happen yet, because of the 3pts still being delivered.

    1. LǝgleSs e|even

    Spurs beginning to turn the screw 🙂

  23. diesel001
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Spurs should consider changing Rose for Son here. Moura is playing well.

  24. 1zverGGadeM

    Allison > Alli+Son
    You read it here first.

    Salah is so crap, just pass it through to Mane you idiot

    1. 1zverGGadeM
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Salah is hungry for goals
      It's matter of time he explodes

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 14 Years

  27. The Bandit

    Greedy but understandable

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

    Salah played his FH, wasn't giving it to Mane.

  29. Differential C (Mark)
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Salah again denied by a briliant block by Toby!
