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.

            Thanks. Dilva(vc) hurts esp after bringing in Sterling(c) for mané... Hopefully green arrows after the remaining games even if it is little. I just hate seeing red arrows

        LFC maybe making a mistake not to bring fresh blood to club this summer.

        Martin Tyler was drinking with the Liverpool players today.

        Klopp wasting time throwing the ball away from Trent

        Ceballos thinks this is a WWE match now, they shouldn’t have played that Triple H song at half time

        Going Salah(C) again next GW,can send me out of top10k or inside top5k

          bad idea

      8. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Ceballos constantly flicking out his mouth guard is not what I want to see

        What a great defensive display from Liverpool ...

      10. Champions League Varane
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Does everyone think DSilva plays the last 2?

        1. TheDragon
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Definitely plays 38

        2. Salah’s Sonnet
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          definitely plays the last one, think he'll have a part to play against Watford too

          1. Champions League Varane
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            Yeah trying to decide if I should bring him in now

        D'ya know, to captain the lowest scoring player in your team, is quite a skill. Do any of you still enjoy this game?

        1. TheDragon
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          I’ve hated it for the most part this season... but I still sort of love it.

          I really should take next season off though - spend way too much time on here/ checking my phone

          1. Salah’s Sonnet
            • 12 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            this season has been a complete waste of time, yet i still play it, my only aim is to finish under 1m this season, complete unknown territory for me, absolute write off.
            I really should take next season off too, but i know i won't.

            1. TheDragon

              I’m in exactly the same boat.

              Last 5 seasons I’ve been in and around top 10k. This season it’ll be a miracle if I make it to 100k

              I’ve really not enjoyed it anywhere near as much as usual. Genuinely only 2 or 3 ‘good’ weeks. Really weird year. It’s not Particularly healthy from a life perspective!

          The game as well as proper football has been a farce since it restarted.

          1. Salah’s Sonnet
            • 12 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            sure has

        3. Zimo
          • 5 Years

          Think I'd hate it less if the captain rule was removed

          1. Salah’s Sonnet
            • 12 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            exactly, i sooo wish it would be removed from the game.

            There us luck part with Captain, but draft us boring without it. It is also something to chat with ml rivals.

          City's 100 pointer is the most impressive record in PL history IMO. Unbelievably tough to achieve.

        Seems like Claude was the thing holding Arsenal back all this time. Good riddance.

        Logically how would yo predict Palace vs ManUnited?

        I'm expecting Bruno will at least goal assist and get 14pts (hopefully not),

        wow, was not expecting this result, pretty sure if this game had been earlier in the season it would be a comfortable Liverpool win, still nice win for Arsenal though, even if it screws my fpl points and bets

          Only Rashford, Vardy, Fernandes, Martial and Digne left. An utter disaster.
