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.

    Liverpool need to play the kids because the first team has switched off mentally since they won and have lost concentration, especially when Hendo doesn't play!

    Eini Mini Mainimo looks so out of depth in the PL. Will be surprised if he gets a regular run in in this team next season.

    The number of chances Salah needs to score in comparison to Mane is ridiculous. Just not clinical. Just a slightly better version of Sterling.

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

      Don't forget Salah is on pens too while Sterling seldom is

      I'm saying nothing till the final whistle

      Then I'll chip in with my 2 cents 😉

      1. Cok3y5murf
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 11 days ago

        So it's dependent on Salah scoring? Never said Salah can't score. I said he needs so many chances. Conversion rate lower than Mane's.

    Why are people selling Greenwood was something said?

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

      To who? Even if he doesn’t play you might aswell keep

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

      Ole said he’s feeling the Romeu tackle still but nothing of him being left out for sure.

    50% of the goals arsenal have conceded in the PL under Arteta are post 75th minute

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

    Raging at Salah and Trent

  10. Rolls-Royce
    • 12 Years

    How many more chances does Mo needs to score a goal ffs. So frustrating to watch for last to games as an owner.

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

    Do we think Greenwood features tomorrow?

    Would have expected a rest in the FAC before this news.

    1. Rolls-Royce
      • 12 Years

      Comes on from bench

    2. Amey
      • 7 Years

      I think he will play some minutes from bench at least

      1. Rainer

      I’m on 14 and my ranks been nearly halved. Have Jimmy of the bench though

    • 8 Years
    6 years, 11 days ago

    What sort of scores is everyone on?

    22 with Fernandes (c), Rashford, DDG & Holgate to go is reasonable?

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

      Decent

      1. TheDragon
        • 8 Years

        What a bizarre week

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

      28 after Jimmy autosub with Martial, Bruno, Rashford (c) to go

      The sum total of 2 points from Sterling, TAA & Taylor sums it up really

      1. TheDragon
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 11 days ago

        That sounds like a green arrow then

        TAA and Foden have really upset me this week

    3. Woy_is_back

      Really bad tbh

    4. Amey

    6. JONALDINHO
      • 8 Years

      24 after Jimmy autosub with Digne, Lamptey, Bruno, Rash and Greenwood left. Awful week

    Score

  16. Fred54

    Do Salah and Mane actually train together? All there movement suggests a game is the first they've known of each other.

    1. Vazza
      • 6 Years

      Haha

  18. AC Pilkington

    Who is more nailed for Burnley? Need a 4.3m asset...

    a) Long

    b) Bardsley

    c) Pieters

    9 from 6 currently after doing Mane > Sterling (c) as my transfer. RIP this season. What a disaster it's been since I've wildcarded.

    1. Hybrid.power

      Yeesh

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

      You are still on course for a top 50k finish - that’s still decent

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

        Decent for casuals 😉

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

        But now I have Taylor and Aurier who need to be removed so I can BB which will require hits. I don't think I'm on course for top 50K anymore honestly considering a ton of managers will have FH in 38 which is looking much more useful than a bench boost at this point.

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

      U might aswell delete your team

  20. DAZZ
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 11 days ago

    Supposed to be BB in 37, Lascelles, and Taylor injured. Was planning Cantwell > McNeil. Might have to take a -4 🙁

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

      Just aim to set up BB on 38, unless you still have FH?

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

    Liverpool should be worried that there’s not long till the next season starts, there form has been awful & could be taken into next season without momentum

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

      They're not allowed to improve because they've won things, apparently.

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

        The most worrying sign for them is that this is their best 11 out there. And unlike City they don't have the quality to bring in from the bench. Next season will be a tough one for them if City can sort their defence.

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

      Plus they got zerp depht in the squad

    3. faux_C

      Meaningless waffle.

    4. Bartowski
      • 15 Years

      This is exactly what people said when they performed badly in their friendlies this time last year.

        1. Salah’s Sonnet
          • 14 Years
          6 years, 11 days ago

          ahh at least puli delivered an assist. On 30 here after taking -8 off, not bad considering the scores overall on here.
          martial, and bruno left FML. My worst season ever also.

    Top 5k ATM! Going to use 2 FT now, and go FH last gameweek.

    Ederson
