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.

GAMEWEEK 7 LINE-UPS

Liverpool XI: Alisson, Milner, Matip, van Dijk, Robertson, Fabinho, Henderson, Jones, Salah, Mane, Jota

Subs: Kelleher, Konate, Keita, Firmino, Gomez, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Minamino, Tsimikas, Williams

Man City XI: Ederson, Walker, Dias, Laporte, Cancelo, Rodri, De Bruyne, Silva, Jesus, Grealish, Foden 

Subs: Steffen, Carson, Stones, Ake, Sterling, Torres, Fernandinho, Mahrez, Palmer

    Sorry. Posted on the wrong article.

    Keep Antonio or sell for Jesus?

    Had him since the beginning.
    Does Jesus have sufficient upside assuming he starts most games?

    Thanks.

      Antonio is West Ham's spearhead while Jesus plays on the right these days.

      Antonio will start (if fit) while Jesus is prone to Pep roulette

      Antonio is cheaper than Jesus

      Antonio is more prolific than Jesus

      I'd say go with Jesus! 🙂

      I really like Jesus as an option, but feel if he's a doubt for the juicy Burnley fixture at home it's a bit of a waste. I know the season is long but if you had a tough week this week you'd want to collect every point you can next

        I agree. But he is lucky he doesn't look like Sterling. He won't get the abuse. No one should.

      YC are so annoying when you're already struggling in a gameweek. When 10-20 points separates 100k+ in OR, 2-3 yellows every week actually makes a big difference.

    Is it mad to be thinking of taking Antonio out?

    Had him since the start but looking at West Ham’s next 8 games I can’t see any major hauls for him…
