Leicester and Liverpool have both named full-strength sides as the 2019 Boxing Day extravaganza comes to a close.

The King Power Stadium clash could prove a highly decisive one in this season’s title race and it’s clear each manager, Brendan Rodgers and Jurgen Klopp are taking it seriously.

Jamie Vardy (£10.1m) naturally leads Leicester’s line supported by James Maddison (£7.8m), Youri Tielemans (£6.5m), Harvey Barnes (£5.9m) and Dennis Praet (£5.3m) in midfield.

As ever, the settled back-four of Ben Chilwell (£5.8m), Çaglar Söyüncü (£5.1m), Jonny Evans (£5.2m) and Ricardo Pereira (£6.5m) all keep their places.

Liverpool’s potent front-three of Mohamed Salah (£12.2m), Sadio Mané (£12.2m) and Roberto Firmino (£9.2m) are all involved.

Meanwhile, both Andrew Robertson (£7.0m) and Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.2m) start in defence.

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

Liverpool XI: Alisson; Robertson, van Dijk, Gomez, Alexander-Arnold; Keïta, Wijnaldum, Henderson; Mané, Firmino, Salah.

    Pereira is really going for these jamaican rolls today.

    Anyone using 2nd wildcard to bring in Trent

    1. Lingard’s Shin Guards
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Yes. Has to be done

  3. SB007
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    TAA man of the match. Can’t think why 🙂

    1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Debatable

  4. manu4life99
    • 16 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    How's this WC team looking?

    Ramsdale McGovern
    Soy Aurier Lund TAA Sidibe
    Salah KDB Alli Grealish Martial/Maddison
    Vardy Ings Maupay

  5. Das Boot

    Taking the TAA madness to one side. Klopp has turned Liverpool into some football team.

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

      They’ve been lucky again here.

      1. Don Van Vliet
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Lucky?

  6. Miniboss
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    If Leicester won’t score late, Pool has 4 CS now from last four matches?

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

    Did a Pro Pundit advise Trent out? For a -8?

    1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Busted down to amateur

    2. Lingard’s Shin Guards
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      I'm more of a pro

    3. Don Van Vliet
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Holly Shand, perhaps? Brain is suffering from festive fatigue, though, so could be wrong.

  8. Mortal.Swinbat
    • 15 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Took out TAA for a -4 to bring in Mane/Salah double up. Awesome. Really don’t know why I bother with this game it just ruins my weekends

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Lucky it s a midweek game then 🙂

    2. Kanga roo
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Was never a good idea.

    3. Bielsa's Blue Bucket
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Watching shite games, Watford v Brighton because have Foster in goal is the lowest of the low. Until Duffy rises for an injury time winner that is 🙂

    4. Trodos
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Same here.. While all my mini leagues rival captain's failed but TAA save their day

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

    Ask Yourself knows...

    1. Ask Yourself
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      GW18 - convinced people to captain son
      GW19 - convince people to bring in Pogba

      I’ve been planning this all since pre season

      1. Fpl Richie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Do you advise me to keep pogba? I'll obviously do the opposite 🙂

  10. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Trent triple rise x 2 incoming

    1. tiger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Best midfielder who gets clean sheet points in FPL all for just £7.2m

  11. Camzy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Why couldn't he have done this next week.... I had the money to get him in perfectly too...

    So annoying.

    1. SADIO SANÉ
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      at least hardly anyone captained him, that's all I've got I'm afraid

  12. Fred54
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    I take it back, Son's RC as captain wasn't as bad.

  13. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    So ... Liverpool champion has been declared yet?

  14. StevePeave
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Took TAA out my team for the first time this season this week

    1. Rojo's Modern Life
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Why would you do that?

  15. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Best ever defender return?

    1. S.Kuqi
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      For sure

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

      Beats Alonso’s 21.

      Yes.

    3. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      The Burnely defender many years back scored 2 pens +

    4. Optimus.
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Must be up there, I remember Hangeland scoring a brace and CS for me back in the day

      1. Miniboss
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Baines did the same

    5. Colonel Shoe 肝池
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Must be

  16. Pedram
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Is fantasyfootballfix down?

  17. FOO FIGHTER
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    49 with KDB to go should both TAA and VVD keep a cleanie. Not bad considering how the GW has gone. Capped Salah...

    1. camarozz
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      62 here with Kdb (c)

      Come on Kevin!!!!

  18. Mo Salah No Mane
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Ok now only do I believe that Trent is essential and worth his price tag... will bring him in on my wildcard.
    Did you have to make it such a painful lesson though?

  19. Salah’s Sonnet
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Takes out TAA, scores, 2 assists, clean sheet, yep seems about right. Sooner this season ends the damn better, absolutely hate it

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      3 assists

    2. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Andy is that you?

    3. chaser123
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Did the same on wildcard....

    4. Rojo's Modern Life
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Sells him the week after a blank. Cool

  20. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    1. Champions League Varane
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Lol after 1 game?

    2. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 9 Years

      Abort

    3. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Will be gold in the coming weeks

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

      Defensive double up seems better

      1. Fpl Richie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Not that again

    5. FCSB
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      It’s a long game, right?!

    6. antis0cial
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Both could have scored, have TAA too though to ease the pain!

  21. SHOOTER MCGINN
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Guess no chance of TAA rotation either with the defensive injuries.

  22. FCSB
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Henderson
    Aurier Soyuncu Kelly
    KDB Mane Salah Grealish
    Abraham Vardy Jimenez

    McGovern Lundstram Rico Dendoncker

    1 FT, 0 ITB

    Is Henderson >> ?? the best use of FT ?

  23. chaser123
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Lundstram > Trent
    Abraham > Ayew

    -4 points .... is it worth it?

  24. FFSbet.com
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    1. dark91
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Good news for me is that my opponent doesn't own him. And me neither 😀

      1. FPL Pillars
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

  27. camarozz
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    He ain't got TAA or Kdb (c) tho!!!

    1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago
