Roberto Firmino (£9.3m) is absent from the Liverpool match day squad yet again as they travel to Newcastle.

The Brazilian missed Gameweek 36 through injury but did play some part against Barcelona midweek.

Daniel Sturridge (£5.6m) gets a second consecutive start in the Liverpool attack, which might not necessarily be great news for owners of Mohamed Salah (£13.3m) and Sadio Mané (£10.2m).

Against Huddersfield, the Englishman was a little selfish in possession, opting to shoot more often than he looked to pass to his colleagues.

With Newcastle expected to try and stifle Liverpool, it will be interesting to see what effect Sturridge will have on those around him.

Those invested in the Reds’ defence will be happy to see the usual suspects lining up after some changes were made in the Champions League.

Virgil van Dijk (£6.7m) is paired with Dejan Lovren (£4.9m) at centre-back, flanked by Andrew Robertson (£6.8m) and Trent Alexander-Arnold (£5.7m).

Newcastle continue to be very much out of the Fantasy picture with only Salomón Rondón (£5.9m) currently above 5% ownership.

Newcastle XI: Dubravka; Dummett, Lascelles, Schär, Manquillo; Ritchie, Hayden, Ki, Atsu; Rondón, Pérez.

Liverpool XI: Alisson; Robertson, van Dijk, Lovren, Alexander-Arnold; Henderson, Wijnaldum, Fabinho; Mané, Sturridge, Salah.

    Irritating there are so many Liverpool pundits considering they didn't win much and have tedious accents.

    1. Marvin.
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      He won the champions league.

      1. Je suis le chat
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        I personally don't rate winning the CL without winning ones own league. Also of course he shouldn't be on the airwaves after launching his foul saliva at a young girl.

        1. Marvin.
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Fortunately lots of people do rate winning the champions league.

          1. Je suis le chat
            • 12 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            I really don't, English league much more difficult with Pep in opposition.

            1. how now brown cow
              • 11 Years
              7 years, 2 months ago

              Pep was opposition in CL too.

  7. Not again Shirley

    Man City will not beat Leicester tomorrow and Liverpool will win the league next week.

    You heard it here first.

    May even lay City tomorrow as odds will be so short.

    1. FPL Scoop

  11. Mo Mané Mo Problems
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Surely Salah gets rest midweek, back for Sunday?

    1. JIMMY TUGGINS
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Unless he's out through injury.

    2. Epic Fail
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      If he's fit to play on Sunday yeah, otherwise no.

    3. The 5% Team

      1. Epic Fail
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

    5. DandyDon
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Pretty sure it wasn’t, but them dippers are entitled so I guess it’s fair.

  14. Gnu

    7 years, 2 months ago

    Surely everyone knew this was a 4-3 result, it's kind of a tradition.

    1. Epic Fail
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Collymore, legend.

      1. George Sillett
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Stanley Victor Dogger Collymore.

        1. Gnu
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 17 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Victor!!! Really?

          1. George Sillett
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            Yep . It was added to provide something more embarrassing than Dogger.

            1. Gnu
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 17 Years
              7 years, 2 months ago

        1. Epic Fail
          • 16 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

    2. Optimus.
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      I remember when he beat Newcastle with that last minute goal and then went on to beat Ulrika Johnson

  28. George Sillett
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    At least Liverpool fans can delude themselves that they have a chance of winning the PL for another 48 hours.

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

      This reeks of insecurity

      1. George Sillett
        • 10 Years

    1. Van der Faart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      For anyone wondering, this is the "foul"

      https://twitter.com/ianolawlor/status/1124773907528081409?s=19

      1. Critical Observer
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

      2. Wilshere Knowledge
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        I particularly enjoyed Carragher describing this cheating as 'clever'...

    2. MTPockets
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Particularly stupid considering where the linesman is

    3. Ask Yourself
      • 10 Years
