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.

      • 11 Years
      6 years, 11 days ago

  11. JustPark
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 11 days ago

    Vardy to Wood, Kane or one of Arsenal?

  12. Aurora
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 11 days ago

    No chance arsenal can defend for half an hour

  13. KGFC
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 11 days ago

    If Arsenal were to hold onto a marvelous win here, would fully expect them to respond in the typical Gunners manner and lose the next one at Villa. They just love giving their supporters high blood pressure : lol:

    1. POLSKA GOLA
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 11 days ago

      Correct but there’s pills for it

    1. Stormbringer22
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 11 days ago

      How do you score 7pts with a captain?

      1. Ha.
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 11 days ago

        The same way you score 5 and 1

      2. Stormbringer22
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 11 days ago

      3. Duke Silver ☑
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 11 days ago

        Scores are prior to being doubled by armband.

      4. jimmyabs1987
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 11 days ago

        I think he means that’s pre captain doubling it

    2. X Trapnel
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 11 days ago

      I captain Dunk for Kicks

    3. Right In The Stanchion
      • 6 Years

    4. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 11 days ago

      Aguero (8) and Salah (6) with a return, the rest scored 3 or less.

      Bruno tomorrow.

      1. Duke Silver ☑
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 11 days ago

        I would wish you good luck but my rival is getting Bruno VC points after KdB no show.

    5. _Ninja_

      Who’s your captain next week? Clearly you’ve jinxed my last 4 picks

    9. One More Hit
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 11 days ago

      De Bruyne 15
      Fernandes 3
      Jimenez 2
      Fernandes 15
      De Bruyne 7
      Fernandes 5
      Fernandes ?

      Not as bad as I thought I'd had it, but there have been some spectacularly better options most weeks.

    10. umerlfc
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 11 days ago

      I tied with you, all exactly like yours except Rashford for Jimenez but same 2 points, high five!

  16. Young Lingard
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 11 days ago

    Petition to play without fans next season
    Beer per appearance for Trent
    And no games at Anfield

    Who says no ?

  17. Releasebreaks
    • 8 Years

    Glad of my :

    Play Doherty
    Bench TAA

  18. Davido989

    Liverpool can't stand still this summer despite having a great season

    Goes to show once you reach a level you need to bring in faces and keep things fresh and competitive

    The likes of Trent, Robertson, Gini and co know they're starting every week irrespective of form

    This is nearly as embarrassing as Watford for me.

    1. Fudgy
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 11 days ago

      They are massively overrated. Atletico Madrid spanked them

      1. Threat Level Midnight
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 11 days ago

        This

        1. Fudgy
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 11 days ago

          English media scrubbed that one from the casuals memory.

      2. Davido989
        • 15 Years
        6 years, 11 days ago

        Aye. Only the 3 trophies this season

        1. Fudgy
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 11 days ago

          1 trophy. 2 friendly cups.

    2. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 11 days ago

      Finishing a season poorly often means you start next one the same.

      Interesting to see how he fresheners things up.

      1. Davido989
        • 15 Years
        6 years, 11 days ago

        I'd get Thiago done, another left back and an attacker

        Won't happen though.

        1. Stormbringer22
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 11 days ago

          Should have been Timo that extra attacker. Happy with Thiago though

        2. how now brown cow
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 11 days ago

          Strange circumstances.

          City need to get a few in. A united defender or two will see them do well.

          Chelsea too far off but very good signings.

    3. Don Kloppeone
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 11 days ago

      I’m honestly cringing mate. Worst still, my in-laws are all mad gooners who will be absolutely lording it up over me tomorrow.

      1. Davido989
        • 15 Years
        6 years, 11 days ago

        Live in london myself so one of the worst games to lose tbh

        1. Don Kloppeone
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 11 days ago

          Yep I’m also London. Surrounded by Spurs and Arsenal fans.

          But ARS of all clubs, who have been steadily heading down the toilet. Where’s our self-respect!

    4. Right In The Stanchion
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 11 days ago

      Don’t forget arsenal quite often trashed pool until Klopp came in.

    5. JIMMY TUGGINS
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 11 days ago

      Definitely need additions like we talked about before, I'd say that for any title winner though.

      1. Davido989
        • 15 Years
        6 years, 11 days ago

        I'm a big believer in improving when you're at your strongest. Be naive not to improve in positions where players have no competition.

    6. KGFC
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 11 days ago

      They won coz Laporte was injured.

    7. King Kohli
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 11 days ago

      Performance reeks of complacency.Surely can't still be celebrating their title win?
      Will find it difficult to suddenly switch back on at the start of next season

    8. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 11 days ago

      You could get Man Utd at 16/1 to win the title next year a few weeks ago, now it has come in to 8/1
      Can't see Liverpool walking away with it so easily next season

    9. POLSKA GOLA
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 11 days ago

      Correct, always best to reresh but a lot in each club depends on contractual situation for existing players as well as finance available, even for clubs as rich as MCI

      1. POLSKA GOLA
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 11 days ago

        *refresh

  19. Threat Level Midnight
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 11 days ago

    Imagine thinking Salah was EVER worth his price tag. The leader of the frauds

    1. KGFC
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 11 days ago

      Mate I'm also a United fan but you're comment is a bit too harsh in all fairness.

      1. Threat Level Midnight
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 11 days ago

        Harsh on frauds?

        1. KGFC
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 11 days ago

          You think all the goals he's scored over the last two seasons were a fluke and fraud??

          1. Threat Level Midnight
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 11 days ago

            I think that he’s a rebound/deflection and pen merchant. He scores very few class goals and possesses one of the worst touches I’ve seen in a player thats regarded as world class. He should have 50 goals with all the blown opportunities he has week in and week out.

          2. Threat Level Midnight
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 11 days ago

            Why does he never get BPS unless he absolutely HAULS? (which is usually a PK, a rebound, and assisting a class goals elsewhere)

    2. X Trapnel
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 11 days ago

      He's done nothing this season has he

      actually if you take away the goals and assists Liverpool wouldn't have even won the league

      total fraud

    3. WD27
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 11 days ago

      What the current highest scorer in FPL not worth it?

    4. POLSKA GOLA
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 11 days ago

      Yes he was, that DGW when I TC Mane for 1 point 🙁

      1. NotReadyForPrimeTime
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 11 days ago

        Still hurts to be reminded of my brilliant use of that chip. And yes, would have been quite happy with Salah instead.

  20. Aurora
    • 12 Years

    TAA please

  21. have you seen cyan
    • 6 Years

    TAA haul!

  22. AC Pilkington
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 11 days ago

    Is Rico nailed for Bournemouth again?

  23. Vazza
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 11 days ago

    Who will score more points

    Ings vs Bournemouth.
    Jimenez vs Crystal Palace

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 11 days ago

      Jim. Bou looking better atm.

      1. Dynamic Duos
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 11 days ago

        Ings

    2. JONALDINHO
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 11 days ago

      Ings

    3. Dynamic Duos
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 11 days ago

      Ings

    4. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 11 days ago

      I'd have to say Jimmy - it can't be overstated:

      (a) How badly Palace are leaking goals

      and

      (b) How much Bournemouth have improve in their last 3 fixtures (that's now only 3 goals conceded, and 5 goals scored from Spurs, Leciester, City back to back)

  24. Danstoke82
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 11 days ago

    Hi all
    Just noticed that Greenwood is flagged.

    Anyone do Greenwood > Wood/Jay Rodriguez?

    I only have one sub available as Lascelles & Hayden both injured

    Thanks in advance!

  25. Champions League Varane
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 11 days ago

    Vardy and Willian ➡️Auba/Wood and DSilva?

    1. Duke Silver ☑
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 11 days ago

      I fancy Willian to get something against Liverpool tbh.

  26. Aurora
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 11 days ago

    Tierney has been phenomenal

    1. Dynamic Duos
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 11 days ago

      Phenomenally shite

  27. Gobigorgohome
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 11 days ago

    just woke up sold jimi and son for -8

    for sterling and giroud

    i hate this game

    ffs

  28. Gudjohnsen
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 11 days ago

    If that's Sterling it's a pen

    1. Right In The Stanchion
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 11 days ago

      If it’s Bruno it’s two pens

      1. Threat Level Midnight
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 11 days ago

        Lol this is valid

  29. Pep Roulette
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 11 days ago

    Pass it to Salah you piece of sh#t

    1. Threat Level Midnight
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 11 days ago

      So he can lose possession?

  30. Right In The Stanchion
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 11 days ago

    Wood or Rodriguez? Rodriguez is a lot more flair
