3pm kick-off team news: Jota and Robertson return to Liverpool XI

There are three Premier League matches getting underway at the traditional 3pm kick-off time, including Liverpool v Southampton.

There are no surprises in the Reds’ line-up, with Diogo Jota and Andrew Robertson both returning to the starting XI following midweek benchings. Robertson has not started a match since limping off with a hamstring injury in Scotland’s win over Denmark, while Jota took a knock to the knee in Gameweek 12 and was unused on Wednesday night.

Jordan Henderson, Virgil van Dijk, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Fabinho are also recalled after breathers in the Champions League, with Jurgen Klopp pretty much going full strength based on the players currently at his disposal.

Ralph Hasenhuttl has sprung a tactical surprise, seemingly switching to a wing-back system for the trip to Anfield. Lyanco, Romain Perraud and Armando Broja are brought into the side, with Ibrahima Diallo, Moi Elyounoussi and Kyle Walker-Peters dropping out. Tino Livramento keeps up his ever-present record.

The other two matches this afternoon are Norwich City v Wolverhampton Wanderers and Crystal Palace v Aston Villa.

It’s just one change apiece at Carrow Road, with Josh Sargent replacing the benched Todd Cantwell for the Canaries and Francisco Trincao coming in for the absent Daniel Podence for the visitors.

Like Wolves, Crystal Palace are missing a player we thought was available; Joachim Andersen isn’t part of the squad and is replaced by James Tomkins at centre-half. Michael Olise is also in for Jordan Ayew further forward.

Steven Gerrard’s two changes are in attack, with Emiliano Buendia and Danny Ings replaced by Ashley Young and Leon Bailey.

        I kind of don't begrudge his owners those points. They've been merked some many times 😆

    2. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Which after a brace, is just stupid

      1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        CS+goal/assist are also 2 returns and they didn't miss big chances

        1. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 4 months ago

          Jota has 3 returns, brace and a clean sheet

      2. Big_Andy_GAWA
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        None now... Robbo and VVD on 3 each. Unbelievable.

        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Pretty wasteful, would have 3 if a forward but 3 less points.

        1. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 4 months ago

          Doesn’t matter, unless he misses a pen, gets a YC or something it’s just not right - all it does is show the system doesn’t work

    3. gooberman
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Jesus how? He has scored 2 goals FFS.

  3. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Did anyone captain Jota over Salah?

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Thought about it, but no chance I was ever going to hehe

    2. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Salah 😉

      1. SEXY SOLO SAUCE

        Nice work! Is that you?

  4. GreennRed
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    McGinn cracker, apparently, for 0-2.

    1. g40steve

      Slow stream

      1. GreennRed

        Very.

  5. JONALDINHO

    50 pts from 5. Not too bad

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      39 from 4 here, but involved a hit, still not bad compared to most rivals who have had 6 players play already etc, some of those with hits! Juicy

  6. Botman and Robben
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Guaita sucks!

    1. The Ilfordian
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Agreed. If it wasn’t for Sanchez red I wouldn’t have been sucked into this trap. Time to get rid

      1. Botman and Robben
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Ramsdale?

        1. The Ilfordian
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 4 months ago

          He’s definitely the man in form

    2. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Bought him 2 weeks ago, so it was obvious that he was going to turn into a pumpkin from that point on,

    3. Il Capitano
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Started with Sanchez, switched to Raya on WC, Raya got injured, switched back to Sanchez, had a FT to burn after the Sanchez red so brought Guaita in. Time to break Ramsdale next?

    4. Scots Gooner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      I made the Sanchez -> Guaita transfer and I'm having regrets. Not sure if it's a little early to give up in him completely though

  7. Rainer

    Norwich staying up?

  9. Salah’s Sonnet
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Amazing how Jota manages to dodge baps at any cost, really unbelievable system they have here for bps

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      He has one?

      If he finished more chances Robbo put on a plate for him it'd help.

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      It is called bonus.

      1. Salah’s Sonnet

        What?

        1. Zimo

        2. Ginkapo FPL
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 4 months ago

          Its extra topts for scoring, he already has pts for the brace

          1. Salah’s Sonnet
            • 12 Years
            2 years, 4 months ago

            Ahh ok. Explained it better than passive aggressive'ness as usual 🙂
