All eyes will be on Mohamed Salah (£12.5m) and Sadio Mané (£11.5m) as Liverpool take on Arsenal this evening.

The Egyptian has been largely ditched by those playing their Wildcards for Gameweek 3, Mané seeming to be the most popular replacement for him.

With the Gunners defence somewhat questionable away from home since Unai Emery took over, both players are likely to have plenty of chances.

The success of those who Wildcarded Salah out could very well come down to fine margins at Anfield this evening.

Roberto Firmino (£9.5m) may also be on the fringes of the Fantasy radar with more shots in the box than any Liverpool attacking player so far this season and an impressive record against Arsenal.

Despite some poor performances at the back for Jurgen Klopp’s men so far this season, all the key defenders have kept their places.

Andrew Robertson (£7.0m) and Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.0m) are deployed at full-back while Virgil van Dijk (£6.5m) is paired with Joel Matip (£5.4m).

Meanwhile, Arsenal manager Emery looks to have matched Liverpool’s 4-3-3 with an identical formation of his own.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£11.0m) leads the line for the Gunners while Alexandre Lacazette (£9.5m) drops to the bench.

On the flanks of the front-three are Dani Ceballos (£5.6m), who performed well against Burnley, and Nicolas Pépé (£9.4m) who comes in for his first start in an Arsenal shirt.

Sead Kolasinac (£5.4m) still awaits his first start of the season, named on the bench as Nacho Monreal (£5.0m) is selected at left-back.

Liverpool XI (4-3-3): Adrian; Robertson, van Dijk, Matip, Alexander-Arnold; Henderson, Wijnaldum, Fabinho; Mané, Firmino, Salah.

Arsenal XI (4-3-3): Leno; Monreal, D Luiz, Sokratis, Maitland-Niles; Xhaka, Guendouzi, Willock; Pépé, Aubameyang, Ceballos.

  20. Rainer

    Pepe finishing like an Ivorian Zaha.

    1. La Roja
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 29 days ago

      Ironically, Zaha is Ivorian

    2. P.Aimar
      • 8 Years

  21. dark91

    A lot of FPL attention will turn to Haller after he scored 2, but really we need to start targeting teams playing Watford.

    7 straight competitive defeats, 22 goals conceded in that time. No clean sheets since February.

    Total whipping boys.

    1. Stupendous
      • 14 Years

      Newcastle next no thanks

    2. Essan
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 29 days ago

      Or teams playing Norwich 😉

    1. Pratik
      • 17 Years

    2. Pukki Party
      • 9 Years

  28. Rainer

    One day a Trent cross will connect, one day.

    Nervy watching as a Salah and Mane owner with no pool defense. If they blank I'm in trouble

  30. Moderately content penguin
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 29 days ago

    Martial to Pepe could work too
