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

    So you’re allowed to clip someone’s heel if they’re through on goal now? Nice

      Brentford defender went through Antonio earlier today and not even a VAR check.

      How he didn't give a free is poor. Then at least check...

      Foden too honest.

      They need to give those if they want players to stop diving

      Unfortunately I think if he goes to ground there he gets the foul

      It feels Vardy is massively being ignored. He has form and fixtures and is cheaper than most other premier style strikers.

      Might become the popular opinion soon. Just the problem is that you'll be priced out of the popular defense if you go with that attack.

        Other problem is that people who may be considering going down that path may now be torn between whether to own Vardy, or Son for .4 less after both did well today. Both have similar fixtures (mixed at best)

      Don’t think he’ll rake them in because he’s not got much of a killer instinct in front of goal, he could still average a nice PPG over the next few though for sure, I’d certainly sooner have him than jota right now I think but it’s not something I’m going to spend a transfer or a -4 on though (already done shaw>cancelo) this week
