Todd Cantwell (£5.0m) has come through injury doubts to start Norwich’s Gameweek 8 meeting with Aston Villa.

The left-winger was reported to have suffered from a hamstring problem earlier in the week – but manager Daniel Farke was right to be positive about it in his latest press conference.

Still awaiting his first attacking returns since the Canaries’ last home fixture, Cantwell keeps his place on the left of an attacking midfield trio that also includes Marco Stiepermann (£5.4m) and Emi Buendía (£6.0m) in support of Teemu Pukki (£7.2m).

Elsewhere in the Norwich team, budget goalkeeper Michael McGovern (£4.0m) gets his first start of the season as Tim Krul (£4.5m) and Ralf Fährmann (£4.4m) remain ruled out with injuries.

The Northern Ireland international will face an Aston Villa side set up in similar fashion to the 2-2 draw with Burnley last week.

Dean Smith has retained the 4-3-3 formation once again but, for the second match in a row, has deployed Jack Grealish (£5.9m) on the flanks of the front-three, alongside Anwar El Ghazi (£5.5m) and Wesley (£6.0m).

Liverpool’s attacking assets are all as they should be this afternoon, leading the attack in 4-3-3 formation.

The big team news from Anfield is that Dejan Lovren (£5.3m) comes into the side for his first appearance of the season.

That might prove something of a concern for those invested in the Liverpool defence with Joel Matip (£5.5m) still out injured and Joe Gomez (£5.2m) coming in for criticism midweek.

Meanwhile, Leicester arrive on Merseyside with James Maddison (£7.1m) restored to the starting line-up after he missed the Gameweek 7 win over Newcastle.

Owners of Burnley attacking assets will be pleased to Johann Berg Gudmundsson (£5.9m) back in the side, making his first start since Gameweek 3.

The Clarets’ opponents Everton line up with Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£5.8m) leading the one-man attack once again.

Finally, Watford have bravely tried to match Sheffield United’s perplexing 3-5-2 formation with a similar system of their own.

Quique Sanchez Flores has deployed his players in a 3-4-1-2 formation while the Blades remain unchanged.

Burnley XI: Pope; Pieters, Mee, Tarkowski, Lowton; McNeil, Westwood, Hendrick, Gudmundsson; A Barnes, Wood.

Everton XI: Pickford; Digne, Mina, Keane, Coleman; Delph, Schneiderlin; Iwobi, Sigurdsson, Richarlison; Calvert-Lewin.

Liverpool XI: Adrian; Robertson, van Dijk, Lovren, Alexander-Arnold; Wijnaldum, Milner, Fabinho; Mané, Firmino, Salah.

Leicester XI: Schmeichel; Chilwell, Söyüncü, Evans, R Pereira; Ndidi; Maddison, Tielemans, Praet, H Barnes; Vardy.

Norwich XI: McGovern; Lewis, Amadou, Godfrey, Aarons; McLean, Leinter; Cantwell, Stiepermann, Buendía; Pukki

Aston Villa XI: Heaton; Targett, Mings, Engels, Guilbert; McGinn, Nakamba, Hourihane; Grealish, Wesley, El Ghazi.

Watford XI: Foster; Cathcart, Prödl, Kabasele; Holebas, Cleverley, Doucouré, Janmaat; Pereyra; Welbeck, A Gray.

Sheff Utd XI: D Henderson; O’Connell, Egan, Basham; Stevens, Fleck, Norwood, Lundstram, Baldock; Robinson, McBurnie.

    Keep your flag down when it’s that close...

    1. SADIO SANÉ
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Salah should have kept doing properly, no whistle

  15. thunder_mike
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Salah doesn’t look quite right

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

      Because he’s not scored?

      1. thunder_mike
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        Touch not there, positioning isn’t great, not making the runs.

  16. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 16 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Robbo big chance missed from Salah assist

    5. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Given the state of Norwich, think I'd get Wilson or King in TBH

  18. The Bandit

    2. JIMMY TUGGINS
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

    Can't wait to finally get rid of Salah

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

      He’ll punish

    2. Dynamic Duos
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

  20. Rainer
    • 9 Years

    1. JIMMY TUGGINS
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      I had it on him all week and switched yesterday, looked such a good shout though.

  23. Peter Ouch
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    So glad with Mo to Mane

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years

      Fickle

    2. Rock n Grohl
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Wise move that. Looks so much better this season and 1m / .9 in the budget should saved.

    3. Rock n Grohl
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      * saved.

  24. Manani
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    People who have Pukki since 6.6m or so, are u selling?

    1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 17 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Yep

    2. Miguel Sanchez
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Might well be

    3. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      I think so

    4. Hect.OR 98th
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      I'm selling. I think Cantwell is a good enabler who should pick up the odd assist for any Pukki goals. Too many good forward options to tolerate a succession of blanks.

    5. Hits from the Bong
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Got him at 6.5, sold him last night. Still biting my nails..

    6. Rock n Grohl
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Selling for CWilson

  25. FPL Scoop

    Lundstram first sub ofc too

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years

      Harsh on TAA and Digne.

      1. FPL Scoop
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        I suppose

    2. My heart goes Salalalalah
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Benched Cantwell for Lundstram. Lucky I suppose

    Salah uses his arms and body very cleverly against defenders.

    In my book he is fouling but never seems to get sanctioned by the ref.

    1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      It generally works... except against Sergio Ramos

      Who will just wrench salah’s arm TF out of its socket rather than be rolled

      1. Ógie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        Yeah

        Ramos must have studied Salah that time and knew what to do when Salah done his arm across the defender party trick on him.

        1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
          • 16 Years
          6 years, 9 months ago

          Suprised more defs haven’t cottoned onto it tbf, but Salah is deceptively strong, he’s an absolute tank, probably a lot easier said than done

  28. dshv
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    2 ft i have to change this guys

    Heaton

    Robbo - Walker - Digne
