Key Liverpool assets in place as Aubameyang sits on Arsenal bench

Liverpool’s key assets are all set to face a much-rotated Arsenal side at the Emirates Stadium.

Mohamed Salah (£12.5m) and Sadio Mané (£12.2m) both retain their places from the draw with Burnley, each one boasting a vested interest in the Golden Boot race.

Their exploits on Wednesday evening could be pivotal to the outcome of Gameweek 36+ considering that their backing inside the top 10,000 FPL managers took a dip for the midweek round of action.

We know that many Free Hit managers overlooked the pair in favour of Chelsea and Manchester City counterparts, although those two clubs have largely struggled to completely fulfil their promise against Norwich and Bournemouth respectively.

Meanwhile, Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.7m) and Andrew Robertson (£7.0m) start a match together for the first time since Gameweek 33+ with Neco Williams (£4.0m) back on the Liverpool bench.

Those invested in the Liverpool full-backs, or either of the centre-halves, will be pleased to see who is sitting on the Arsenal one.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£10.9m) has lost his place this evening, named among the substitutes for the first time since the Premier League restarted.

In the striker’s place, Mikel Arteta has named Reiss Nelson (£ and Nicolas Pépé (£8.9m) either side of Alexandre Lacazette (£9.2m) in the front-three.

Arsenal XI: Martínez; Tierney, Holding, D Luiz, Cédric; Xhaka, Torreira, Saka; Nelson, Lacazette, Pépé.

Liverpool XI: Alisson; Robertson, van Dijk, Gomez, Alexander-Arnold; Fabinho, Wijnaldum, Oxlade-Chamberlain; Mané, Firmino, Salah.

      Even if second half is boring hearing Lemmy blasting off the speakers is time well spent

      Liverpool just don't have the same pedigree since winning the league.

          Pool's degeneration is worrying going into the new season.

            They're missing the X factor that got them the title

        They have not been the same Liverpool ever since they lost the game?

        If this is their form from now on they can just suck it.

        Here I thought they might hammer Chelsea next GW

    If Pool use all their subs and get like 4 reds, I think they can get the match abandoned. Lets hope

    ML leaders lead hanging by a thread with Taylor/Pope/VVD/Trent and Bruno(c) - I did TAA > Digne this week. Hope he stays quiet, would be huge for me.

  23. Fred54

  25. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 10 Years

    TAA > Tarkowski for free?

  26. Sandy Ravage
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    TAA + Mane > Azpi + Willian (-4) could still even out

  27. jdp219

    • 7 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Well, then. Feels kneejerky, but maybe not: Sell Trent and Salah...?

    1. Mr. Chimes
      • 4 Years

      Only if it’s for a hit or two

  28. SEXY SOLO SAUCE

    Defender up to 5.4 with the highest points ceiling for the last 2 games?

    Tarkowski?

  29. KGFC
    • 7 Years

    Mane steals it off Salah 😛

    3 decisions that have killed me since the restart

    - Persisting with TAA
    - 3 City players where 2 of them every week are either not playing or getting 1 pointers
    - Changing Pope after they lost 5-0 to City

    1. Yank Revolution
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      reasons 2 and 3 are valid
