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.

    Missed the first hour.

    Should Trent have been sent off?

    1. Madderegern
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 11 days ago

      Nah

    2. Duke Silver ☑

    If Minamino fell over it would’ve been a pen. Players are forced to dive otherwise those decisions aren’t given

    1. Madderegern
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 11 days ago

      Yup

  3. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 11 days ago

    Can’t wait for Salah to be reclassified as a forward next season. Will be much easier to ignore.

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

      Yes, you do that, you'll feel really good about it and we'll enjoy hearing about it every 5 minutes for ever

    2. Pukki Party
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 11 days ago

      Would get more bonus for goals?

  4. Weasel51

    Is FPLRockstar likely to release team news before GW38 deadline?

    1. Don Kloppeone

      • 16 Years
      6 years, 11 days ago

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

      Yep classic Kane waking up at the end of a season.

    3. Woy_is_back
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 11 days ago

      They could barely score against Norwich lol

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

        I think that's the point - this defence looks A LOT more porous than Norwich's 😉

    4. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 11 days ago

      Absolutely not

    5. Cojiro
      • 12 Years

  19. Aurora

  20. Amey
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 11 days ago

    Can see Auba getting one on counter attack 😕

  21. how now brown cow
    • 11 Years

    Mo header as soft as a marshmallow

    1. Party time

    2. BeaversWithAttitude

  22. Kodap

    Pulisic to Dilva, good move for next GW?

    1. BeaversWithAttitude
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 11 days ago

      I would. Chelsea off the boil...

  23. SH1M1
    • 15 Years
    6 years, 11 days ago

    Salah can be pretty awful to say the least

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

    Who was the 3 most captained players this GW?

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

      Sterling Puli Bruno in top 10k

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

        Thanks. I'm still aiming to get inside 100k though 😛

  25. Camzy

    I don't think Minamino has looked very good so far. Seems a yard behind most plays and hasn't adjusted to the speed of the game. Mane made a nice run behind and Minamino just didn't see him and walked into traffic in the middle of the pitch.

    Don't think he's going to challenge Mane, Salah or Firmino to a starting spot anytime soon.

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

      Agreed. 7m signing so not expectant that he'll ever be more than a squad player. Decent in central positions but maybe needs time.

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

      Let's be honest, it was obvious they just bought him because his name sounds like Firmino

  26. Hybrid.power
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    6 years, 11 days ago

    Thought I was great keeping Salah on a free hit. Thick.

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

      Doing better than sterling

      1. Hybrid.power
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        6 years, 11 days ago

        Oh I captained him

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

          Lol unlucky

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

            And I kept mo

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

          Me too

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

      Wouldn't beat yourself up about that. He's desperate for the Golden Boot so the motivation is there unlike so many other players.

  27. SH1M1
    • 15 Years
    6 years, 11 days ago

    This has Arsenal counter attack goal written all over it, Liverpool useless in the final third

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

    You'd expect Auba to get one on the counter here.

  29. Differentiator
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 11 days ago

    Salah you fool SCORE A GOAL

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

    Sick and tired of watching Robertson since the restart. Absolutely complacent and brain dead.

    1. Amey
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 11 days ago

      We have shaw 🙁

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

        Not anymore - his ankle finally gave way last night under the weight of carrying all that timber around 🙁

        Hopefully baby Williams is ok though - expecting big things from him, looks very handy

        1. Amey
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 11 days ago

          He's raw
          Hopefully we sign a FB who cam play both RB LB

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

            Alaba is available apparently... wouldn't be an Ole type signing though

            Throw him & Kouibaly into that defence & see what way that pans out

            1. Amey
              • 7 Years
              6 years, 11 days ago

              Too expensive both 😮
              I don't think we'll splash too much cash this summer
