The eighth and final Premier League match of a busy Saturday kicks off at 17:30 BST, with Liverpool the visitors to Turf Moor.

The team news is very straightforward as there is just one change to the starting XIs in all: Aaron Lennon (£4.9m) replacing the injured Johann Berg Gudmundsson (£6.0m) on the right flank for Burnley.

Jurgen Klopp names the same 11 players who lined up for the victory over Arsenal last Saturday.

Mohamed Salah (£12.5m) is the second-most-captained player of Gameweek 4, having been handed the armband by over one million FPL managers.

Liverpool put seven goals past the Clarets in their two meetings last season, with Roberto Firmino (£9.5m) scoring three of them.

The Reds are yet to keep a clean sheet this season, while Sean Dyche’s side recorded a shut-out in their only previous home league game this season: against Southampton in Gameweek 1.

Ashley Barnes (£6.7m) has scored in each of his three league appearances this season and was bought by over 250,000 Fantasy bosses in the build-up to Gameweek 4.

Liverpool’s Andrew Robertson (£6.9m) was the second-most-sold defender of this current Gameweek, having been offloaded by over 190,000 FPL managers.

Burnley XI: Pope; Lowton, Tarkowski, Mee, Pieters, Lennon, Cork, Westwood, McNeil, Barnes, Wood.

Liverpool XI: Adrían; Alexander-Arnold, Van Dijk, Matip, Robertson; Fabinho, Henderson, Wijnaldum; Salah, Mané, Firmino.

    So Mane and Salah are gonna interchange on the fpl point scoring front?

    1. Peter Ouch
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      That's why keep the one you own and don't make unnecessary swaps

    2. @persecuted_by_mods
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Yup, Salah edges it for me due to penalties

    3. Ghost Gooner
      • 12 Years

      Have Mane and wont change even if I suffer like last gw.

      6 years, 11 months ago

      Don't think so. OG on saofascore (opta)

      1. jtreble
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Might change but Opta says TAA goal on our feed atm. What is sofascore?

        1. MTPockets
          6 years, 11 months ago

          e.g. https://www.sofascore.com/burnley-liverpool/gsU
          stats are opta's

        We are robbed!!!!

    Urge not to do AWB to TAA tonight is too high. Bloody International Break.

    1. Differentiator
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      ? Urge not to?

  5. manu4life99
    • 16 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    King dropping over IB.

    Barnes likely rising.

    I have exact £ for King to Barnes, worth it? (Still have WC in reserve)

    Heaton
    TAA VVD Digne Montoya
    Salah Sterling Mount KDB
    King Pukki

    Pope,Soyuncu,Dendonker,Greenwood

    £0.3m itb

    1. Ghost Gooner
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Id do it. Barnes isnt injury prone

  6. Eat my goal!
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    So wood stole salah’s goal with a chip off the back of his shoulder - obviously doesn’t appreciate Barnes scoring all the goals!

  7. TheSteel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Shot off target TAA debatable. Mark a non-owner, confirmed

  8. Differentiator
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Why is it even a TAA assist? It clearly takes a deflection off a second Burnley player after deflecting off Wood??

    1. TheSteel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Yeah it does. Off of Casper the Claret Ghost

    2. F4L
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      exactly.

    3. Chenku╰☆╮
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Yeah and another. Keep adding.

  9. Salah’s Sonnet
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Of course Mane scores after switching to Salah, just gonna keep with him now,

    1. DAZZ
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      You can’t hokey cokey mane and salah, same goes with aguero and sterling it just doesnt work. Kane and auba are the same, last week showed that, auba assist away at liverpool, kane blank home to newcastle. you have to pick a premium, and go with it. Sterling and Salah are the 2 for me

    2. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      Please tell me you didn’t start the season with salah

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        I did

  10. DAZZ

    6 years, 11 months ago

    How we looking so far boys? I’ve had a howler! Mount, cantwell, pukki, sterling, adams blanks, currently on 32 🙁 with TAA Robbo and Salah. Digne to go, shocker lol

  11. Davido989
    • 15 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Lol that's a TAA goal not assist.

    1. La Roja
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Biased owner spotted

      1. Davido989
        • 15 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        This.

        Defo going off target like 😀

    2. Nightcrawler
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Cross was off target

    3. Rainer
      • 9 Years

      More eyes, less forehead! 😉

      1. La Roja

        lol

  12. Nightcrawler
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Ughhh TAA jammy assist casuals win again

    more misery for robertson/vvd owners

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      at this point I don't care. Just give me the CS points

  13. Supertrooper
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Can someone please explain to me how this is not a TAA goal?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Without Wood, does it go in?

      1. TheSteel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Inconclusive.

      2. Chenku╰☆╮
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Yes it was..

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 17 Years
          6 years, 11 months ago

          No curl?

          1. Skalla
            • 9 Years
            6 years, 11 months ago

            Yes was curling away from goal , they should just ask TAA at half-time to confirm it was a great cross off -target to Salah 🙂

        2. TorresMagic™
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 17 Years
          6 years, 11 months ago

          Salah would have been on the end of the cross.

      3. Ode
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        So all deflected goals are own goals from now on?

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 17 Years
          6 years, 11 months ago

          Need to be on target.

        2. Rainer
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 11 months ago

          Off target ones, as always.

      4. Marvin.
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        It's not easy but you can do it.

      5. Supertrooper
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Noway of knowing sincw it touched him right after the cross.

    2. Alan Sugar
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      cross would have had to be on target and not going for a throw in

    3. F4L
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      goal = SOT. Work it out from there

    4. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Because without touching another player it goes out for a throw-in.

    5. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Deflection

    6. Digital-Real
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      he crossed the ball and hit the back of Wood which directed into the goal. Without the Wood touch the ball wouldn't have gone into the back of net.

      Why is this so difficult for people to understand?

      1. d1g2w3
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        The fact that it hits the top left corner, if it didn't deflect to the right it was never going in

        1. The Bandit
          • 15 Years
          6 years, 11 months ago

          Exactly

    7. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Without woods touch it was not going into the goal

  14. Hits from the Bong

    Just had this reply from FPL Towers.

    "Thank you for your e-mail regarding the Woods OG.
    We completely agree with you in that anybody thinking this was a goal by A-A is just being a fanny"

    Conclusive proof, and correct.

    1. Colonel Shoe 肝池

      they agree with you

    2. Differentiator

      My reply from them said they're giving a goal to Laporte owners as recompense

    3. TheSteel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Settled then

    4. Somalion
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Tell them it's not an assist either 😉

    Non-TAA owners: "definitely a OG"

    1. Chenku╰☆╮

      Robbo owners: how is that an assist?

      1. TheSteel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Pope owners: Mane offside

    2. Eytexi

      TAA & Wood owners: *sobbing*. Me. 🙁

    3. Helpmeoutpleaselads
      • 6 Years

      TAA owner here - clearly not a goal.

    4. Skalla
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      TAA owner here , no goal and happy with my first attacking return of the GW!

  17. Make United Great Again
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Abraham & Haller emerging as good picks. So many options.

  18. JELLYFISH
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    As an owner of Salah and KDB is Sterling > Mane madness?

    1. d1g2w3
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Yes, stop knee jerking

    2. Ross From Friends
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      7 years of knee jerking?

    3. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      It’s a great move until Sterling next scores, just depends on how long that will be...

      Playing as a forward in Man City’s attack... probably soon 🙂

    4. F4L
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      whats Sterling done wrong now

  19. d1g2w3
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Mane = away player
    Salah = home player

    Mane can use the space behind the defenders when the home team get confident about pushing forward.

    1. Digital-Real
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      that's just simply not true.

    2. Digital-Real
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Mane scored 18 goals at home versus his 4 goals away last season.

  20. Botman and Robben

    Keep a CS LFC!

    1. nxh84
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      I’m a Liverpool fan, but sad to say there high chance will be consolation goal by Burnley...

      1. fantasyfog
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        barnes please

        1. nxh84
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 11 months ago

          Very likely...

  21. Rigid Digit
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    1.5 in the bank
    Siggurdsson => Pepe
    (or wait til after international break)

    However, this means my planned move of Ings to Haller will not happen - I reckon Pepe is the better option

    1. QueefParkRangers
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Pepe isn't up and running yet needs a few more ,weeks...

      Go for david silva?

      1. Rigid Digit
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Interesting thought.

  22. diesel001
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Obviously a Wood o.g. and I own TAA.

    TAA crosses it - it isn't going anywhere near the goal with the amount of curl on it so it isn't on target. It hits Wood which deflects it on target and in the goal.

  23. have you seen cyan
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    ultimate punishment for wood owners, well at least he got a goal

    1. fantasyfog
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      at least liv will DEFINITELY get a clean sheet huh

  24. Stupendous
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Laporte and Montoya to TAA and Kelly?

    1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Laporte to Zinky imo

      Zinchenko looking great value

      1. Stupendous
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        But we have options at fb at City. Waiting for Mendy eventually. Cancelo and Angelino also.

        If Laporte is out a while then I'm not interested in our def at all.

        TAA looks essential soon if they keep clean sheets again.

      Yes and possibly subject to criminal investigation depending on the nature of the insult

      He’s nailed it.

    I feel sorry for the Henderson owner.

  28. Chalobah's Witness
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Well there's no way it can be given as an OG because the deflection was much too early and the ball didn't change it's direction that much. But doesn't matter. TAA will get another assist in this game.

    1. Canary_Kid
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Clearly a deflection that changed direction of the ball, it's why Pope was caught off guard.

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      It just got into the corner. The side spin shows that.
