Jota starts as Torres, Sterling and Mahrez benched for Man City

In the final match of Gameweek 7, Liverpool host Manchester City in a mouth-watering clash at Anfield.  

Kick-off is at 16:30 BST.

As expected, Liverpool are without the injured Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.5m), along with midfielders Thiago (£5.3m) and Harvey Elliot (£5.4m).

James Milner (£4.9m) starts at right-back, with Diogo Jota (£7.6m) preferred to Roberto Firmino (£8.8m) up front.

For Man City, Ilkay Gundogan (£7.2m) and Oleksandr Zinchenko (£5.3m) both miss out.

Gabriel Jesus (£8.6m), Jack Grealish (£8.0m) and Phil Foden (£7.9m) all start, with Ferran Torres (£7.0m), Raheem Sterling (£10.7m) and Riyad Mahrez (£8.7m) on the bench.

    Can't believe Jim Beglin just said "not bad for a one season wonder." Literally no one has ever called him that

    Nothing from Cancelo, what a surprise

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Or Kane

      1. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        I was impressed by him today, unlucky not to score

    2. LarryDuff

      They're playing Liverpool. The either best or second best team in the league and Cancelo is away from home. What did you expect?

      Salah is so incredible. Probably the best in the world rn bar lewandowski perhaps.

      1. LarryDuff
        • 8 Years

      Chelsea happiest going into the IB!

      Looks like a proper three way tussle for the top with Chel, City and Pool in it. Don't think United are in it.
