The best two sides of recent Premier League seasons do battle at 16:30 BST on Sunday, as Liverpool meet Manchester City at Anfield.

Jurgen Klopp makes five changes from the side that lost 3-2 at Arsenal in Gameweek 10, with James Milner, Joe Gomez, Andrew Robertson, Fabinho and Harvey Elliott all coming into the starting XI.

Trent Alexander-Arnold is among those who drop out, but he does make an earlier-than-expected return from injury, as he takes his place among the substitutes alongside Darwin Nunez.

Ibrahima Konate, meanwhile, is absent from the matchday squad.

As for Man City, Pep Guardiola makes just the one change from last weekend’s 4-0 win over Southampton, as Ilkay Gundogan comes in for Riyad Mahrez.

That means Erling Haaland leads the line as expected, but Jack Grealish has to settle for a place on the bench.


GAMEWEEK 11 LINE-UPS

Liverpool XI: Alisson, Milner, Gomez, van Dijk, Robertson, Fabinho, Thiago, Elliott, Salah, Jota, Firmino

Subs: Kelleher, Henderson, Jones, Tsimikas, Darwin, Carvalho, Bajcetic, Phillips, Alexander-Arnold

Manchester City XI: Ederson, Akanji, Dias, Ake, Cancelo, Rodri, De Bruyne, Gundogan, Bernardo, Foden, Haaland

Subs: Ortega, Grealish, Laporte, Alvarez, Gomez, Mahrez, Palmer, Lewis, Wilson-Esbrand

  4. TeddiPonza
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Have one dead def spot (guaranteed 0 points) Worth changing to Webster/Guehi/Castagne for -4?.

    1. Total Foot 5
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Im in same boat, thinking castagne better form , no?

  5. Scots Gooner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Carvalho the only left option now?

  6. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Jota likely to miss next game as he’s laying on the floor knackeerd

    1. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Hamstring

  7. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Bad news for Salah that. Now Nunez is going to get starts

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Trossard probably the best (c) option now

      1. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Hmmm yeah ok

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Yeah very bad

    3. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Bobby and Carvalho over him

      1. Zimo
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Did Klopp say something?

  8. Bubbles1985
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Just waving at those suggesting Kane captain over Haaland was a bad move. 🙂

    1. Van der Faart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Yep. Glad I stuck with my gut

    2. TheTinman
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Yes, let's go boys

  9. pablo discobar
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Salah back out wide then

    1. Bluetiger1
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Most of his career - 4 goals now in 2 games

  10. Digital-Real
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Only Klopp can deal with Pep

    1. Athletic Nasherbo
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Tuchel had Pep on strings what you on about

    2. JBG
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      OGS had a decent record as well. 4W 1D 3L

  11. PascalCygan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Phew. Great game but I don’t want to watch many more City matches without captaining Haaland!

    Kane captainers, let us savour this moment!

  12. Botman and Robben
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Good result for the PL.

  13. Athletic Nasherbo
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    That Jota injury probably makes Darwin a very very good option.

    Really hard luck for Jota, could miss the World Cup.

    Work rate was sensational today

    1. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I would've thought it makes Bobby F. a very very good option.

      1. Athletic Nasherbo
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Still reckon they got 4-4-2?

        Carvalho/Elliot Darwin Firmino Salah

      2. Zimo
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Probably makes both of them good options

    2. Gizzachance
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Darwin could of had couple assists, still didn’t look to sharp

  14. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Arsenals league this year lads.

    No one can get near

    1. Joey Jo-Jo Junior Shabadoo
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Looking forward to more dipper ex-footballers writing articles about how we are not yet title candidates while biking it.

    2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Especially when they have outbid united and Liverpool for VAR this season

    3. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Miles to go, as long as they don't bottle it last minute ...

    4. Van der Faart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Had a 4 point lead with 3 games to go last season and lost it. There'd 28 games to go now, so at least it won't be as late in the season when they lose it this time.

  15. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Impressive for Salah to end up with fewer bps than Ake in that, nice bonus dodging!

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Well he missed a few chances too. Wouldn't have helped.

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Keeper saved one on one wasn’t a miss

    2. DycheDycheBaby
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Bonus points system is a farce.

  16. boc610
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    lol city lol erling lol the bald fraud and his blank checkbook.

    klopp bests pep again

    1. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Wordsworth would be proud of this

  17. gooberman
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    First Haaland blank. New I should have captained Kane!

    1. Rojo's Modern Life
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      You didn't know, or you'd have done it

    2. jacob1989
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I did C Kane. Think its a boring approach to keep c the same player even when he has a very tough fixture away.

    3. DycheDycheBaby
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      The wonderful thing that is called hindsight.

  18. jacob1989
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    So Salah blanks in 9 goals vs Bournemouth but scores the only goal vs ManCity?

    1. _Ninja_
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      And still gets no bonus.

    2. Orion
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      And still no baps for that

    3. Bluetiger1
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I know - summed up my season at that point

    4. DycheDycheBaby
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Big game player.

  19. FOO FIGHTER
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Well done Liverpool!

  20. FPL_trail_runner
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Nice as a Kane captain, tiny red with the -4

    Was gona be a huge green with double city defense until Salah

    Easily would have taken before kickoff

    Time to get salah (c) (Planned before todays match see comment before kickoff)

    Time for 3 premiums Kane Salah Haaland

  21. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Salah is still king!

    What a week, happy Kane Kapper and 59 points all out 😎

    1. GENERATION X

  22. EL_FENOMENO
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Tempted to go Madders to Tross and Neco to TAA

    1. jacob1989
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Why u think Taa will start next game when team defended brilliantly without him?

  23. STONEROSES
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Most points btwn now & World Cup

    A. Kane
    B. Salah

    1. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Going both

      1. STONEROSES
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        But if I had to choose?

        1. TheTinman
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Salah

        2. Scapegoat Salah
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Kane

    2. JBG

  24. Kaneyonero

    3 years, 6 months ago

    Lol all 2s and 3s for me, gw fail

  25. Josh.E
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    we are still INVINCIBLE, 49 COYG!

    1. STONEROSES
      • 12 Years

      Lost @ OT, m8

      1. Josh.E
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        lost in the next season to a dodgy pen, is yours gold? lol

    2. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Yessssss!!! Well, how can you even compare this Shitty team with the one we had? Or the bald fraud with the absolute godly genius Mr. Wenger was.

  26. Henning
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    1. Maddison and B.Silva to Trossard and Mount -4
    2. Maddison and B.Silva to Salah and Longstaff -4

  27. PartyTime
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    What’s surprising is the fact that Liverpool kept a clean sheet

    1. JBG
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Did not expect that at all.

    2. WVA
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      No surprising with TAA on the bench

      1. Utopsis
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Managed to fall asleep and get beaten by Foden for the cross in the 5 mins he was on

    3. FPL_trail_runner
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      The 2nd best team over the last 4 years were massively downplayed pre kickoff

      Liverpool are not Southampton / Fulham / etc

      People on here were trying to get kdb foden and Haaland pre gameweek

      City have 1 decent game at anfield in 5 years - and was the 1 with no crowd.

  28. Mozumbus
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    1. STONEROSES
      • 12 Years

      1. Mozumbus
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Thanks anyways for such an advanced wish

  29. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Will the real Pep Fraudiola please stand up!

  30. Joey Jo-Jo Junior Shabadoo
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Haaland is a great player, but needs to prove he can do it against the small teams.

    1. jacob1989
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      No service from kdb or others

      1. Joey Jo-Jo Junior Shabadoo
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Really? 0.55 xG... which doesn't include things like the certain goal if VVD doesn't get his nut on it at the end.

    2. STONEROSES
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      V reliant on service
