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.

    Is Graeme Le Saux dyslexic or did he just header the ball too often in his playing days?

    1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Lol I just hear him rambling away in the background, hardly even heard a word the last 10 minutes after TAA’s antics 🙂

  2. have you seen cyan

    TAA deserves an open bus tour around Liverpool

  3. dunas_dog

    I know no one cares but I still post it.

    Season high.

    1. fr3d
      • 8 Years

      I care because you’re a beautiful person

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

      Fair play for the admission. Makes it acceptable

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

      Well done!

    4. Aftermath
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Well done sir

    5. Amey
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Amazing.

    6. EL TANO
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Acceptable boast

    7. BobbyDoesNotLook
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Your blazer is sexy tight once again in the studio. Must be heading straight to Boxing Day dance.

  5. Miguel Sanchez
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Abraham to Firmino worth it?

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

      It wasnt 2 mins ago and it still isnt

  6. Kvelertak
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Had Trent for like 30 gws straight. Took him out last night to afford my Kane punt. So dissapointed that there is no words to describe.. this game...

    1. DALEDOBACK
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Keep your chin up, I sold before the blank, you win some you lose some.

  7. Henning
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    1 Dunk and Aurier out for TAA and Kelly

    2 Dunk and Ings out for TAA and Ayew/ Greenwood

  8. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    After baps, TAA is the highest scoring defender with only 5 CS

    1. HonestBlatter
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Not worth the money they said

      1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        They say so much

  9. TomSaints
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Brutal =[
    Hold TAA all season until Liverpool’s blank. Plan to get him in now thinking no risk missing Leicester game only.

    Then this

  10. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Never ever selling that wee scouse lad

  11. Tsparkes10
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Scared to ask for the LMS safety score :/

    1. Ragabolly
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      You technically asked, so.. 32

      1. Tsparkes10
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Really?

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      32 apparently.

  12. Iceball
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Which 3 Liverpool on WC? Already have TAA and Salah.

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

      Mane

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

      How is that a question?

  13. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 16 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Thing is

    I don’t even think this is Trent’s ceiling - I think he has more in him

    We haven’t even seen his final form

    #Trent4Eva

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      I think this is hyperbole tbh. 24 pts from an attacking right back is unheard of.

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 16 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        He didn’t even get to take a DFK FFS

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

        Not even a wing back aswell. Next stage of development is playing like this for England

      3. @ocprodigy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        From any defender.

      4. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 16 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        TAA is not just any attacking right back 😉

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

    You just need to watch that corner vs Barca last season...... Guy is something else

  15. ratchet
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    RIP to the people that benched TAA....

    1. HonestBlatter
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Who did this?

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

      Putting 7m on bench. Madness

      1. Whazza
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        People benched Maddison too, worked out great tbh

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

    People sold Trent to fund Son last GW.

    FPL can be cruel.

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

      Cruel indeed but that stats TAA posts it’s not logical to sell

    2. Superflymonk
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Tis the nature f the game. Can't predict redcards nor when a defender hauls. But TAA was always a season keeper for me.

  17. Railwayman
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    24 points from 8 players and I was 2K 3 weeks ago, what the hell happened to my players ???????

  18. Superflymonk
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Has a defender ever been involved in all four goals scored for a team? TAA is breaking records. Should be priced at 9.5

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

      Will be next year

  19. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Time to bring on Mané!

  20. tucaoneo
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    27 points from TAA + Salah hmm.

    1. JIMMY TUGGINS
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Haven't seen the game but Salah must've hauled!

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

    TAA 8m+ next season?

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

    Time to wc and get trent in

    TAA > Aurier last gw was a smart move 🙂

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

      Whoops

  23. DaveZubie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    So - selling TAA worked out well
    (Actually it broken about even over the 3 weeks but still....)

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

      Trent just got 24 points bro, it’s ok to be upset

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

    Vardy a captain choice for GW20 after his rest tonight?

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

    Trent will be rested in the next game. Knee-jerkers will be gutted

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

      Thinking exactly this

  26. Mr. O'Connell
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Trent non-owners support group needed. Premium membership if you took him out this week.

  27. have you seen cyan
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    If TAA gets me through the cup, will be biggest smooth ever posted

  28. Party time
      6 years, 4 months ago

      73 points + the Mexican Sensation to go. Trentminator I Love Ya

    • Runaway
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Is this the highest score ever by a defender in a single game?

    • Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Now for Robbo’s turn to notch a 20 pointer on Sunday 😉

      Then they both get 15 pointers v Sheffield 🙂
