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

    Salah gw12 doesn't feel so punty now! Darwin looked useless when he came on

    1. Athletic Nasherbo
      4 years, 8 days ago

      Disagree tbh

      Just made that greedy mistake when Salah was in

    2. Utopsis
      4 years, 8 days ago

      If Liverpool didn't win that game, he'd have had a lot to answer for

  2. Firminooooo
    4 years, 8 days ago

    60 points. My KdB to Salah transfer worked out well. The King is back.

  3. Mozumbus
    4 years, 8 days ago

    55 all out

  4. dshv
    4 years, 8 days ago

    WC will be hit in few minutes

  5. Siva Mohan
    4 years, 8 days ago

    expected Man City to be the Invincibles .. thanks to Liverpool the league is very open now!

    1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      4 years, 8 days ago

      My post below. Hahah. They don't have it.

  6. F4L
    4 years, 8 days ago

    Haaland perma cap casuals punished 😎

    1. Utopsis
      4 years, 8 days ago

      Lol, guessing you didn't cap him against United and still playing catch up?

      1. FPL_trail_runner
        4 years, 8 days ago

        Im running pretty hot on captains lately

        Went against Haaland only twice since week 3
        Son for 46 and Kane this week for 18.

        I will reveal the lotto numbers shortly....

        1. Magic Zico
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          4 years, 8 days ago

          I will be shocked if you did not win FPL

      2. F4L
        4 years, 8 days ago

        you may be right 🙂

        but I have 31 points from my captains last 3 GWs, same as Haaland 😉

        1. Utopsis
          4 years, 8 days ago

          Doesn't quite work that way, but will let you cherish the moment

    2. Zimo
      4 years, 8 days ago

      Not really. No alternatives hauled in double digits.

      1. FPL_trail_runner
        4 years, 8 days ago

        Kanes 18 at 20% ownership was massive at all ranks.

        1. PogChamp
          4 years, 8 days ago

          Yes I went Kane captain and rank got a very nice boost.

      2. F4L
        4 years, 8 days ago

        yeah agreed, good week for a blank

    3. Fabreghastly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      4 years, 8 days ago

      If I can have a 40% rank gain every week, I'll take that punishment

      1. F4L
        4 years, 8 days ago

        nice, must've had a few good differentials

    4. The Polymath
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      4 years, 8 days ago

      You call a slap on the wrist a punishment. 😀

  7. Fabreghastly
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    4 years, 8 days ago

    Thank you Liverpool for the 4pt cushion at the top 😉

    1. Slitherene
      4 years, 8 days ago

      Lucky you guys, game showed you're very vulnerable. Good luck winning the league.

  8. MysticMac17
    4 years, 8 days ago

    Thoughts on this FH team for this week? Already activated as only had 5 players for this week.

    Pope
    Robertson Trippier Webster
    Salah Trossard Zaha Son
    Kane Mitrovic Solanke

    Subs: Karius, Justin, Toti, Milivojevic

    1. BlzE_94
      4 years, 8 days ago

      You reckon kane and son will get points against united?

      1. MysticMac17
        4 years, 8 days ago

        Yeah I’m just wondering who would be better. Kane is on fire so I feel like I should keep him but on fence about Son

    2. FPL_trail_runner
      4 years, 8 days ago

      Get Wilson over Solanke
      Downgrade Son to Mount probably for the 1 week
      Captain Salah

  9. Eleven Hag
    4 years, 8 days ago

    Cancelo can fek off for ruining my ederson clean sheet n bonus

    1. FPL_trail_runner
      4 years, 8 days ago

      I had the ederson cancelo double up

      Was lucky to only concede 1 in the end. Liverpool another day score at least 3

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      4 years, 8 days ago

      Salah did it

    3. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
      4 years, 8 days ago

      Just incredible strength from Salah

  10. FPL_trail_runner
    4 years, 8 days ago

    Salah Kane and Haaland until the WC is the way

    Cancelo + Maddison to Guehi + Salah (c) week 12

    Then loaded front 7 until WC

    Foden Saka Martinelli Salah
    Kane Haaland Mitro

  11. Strchld
    4 years, 8 days ago

    Maddison to Mount for a hit? Otherwise can't get 11 players out.

    1. SirWenger
      4 years, 8 days ago

      Yes

  12. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
    4 years, 8 days ago

    Still Invincibles. 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.

    1. Digital-Real
      4 years, 8 days ago

      City scored 100pts in their title win. Invincibles finished on 90pts. Pep's City would annihilate them.

      1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
        4 years, 8 days ago

        Vieira would own them all. Single handedly. With one pocket to spare.

      2. The Philosopher
        4 years, 8 days ago

        Those points are of different eras. Goes to show you probably didn't watch the invincibles in their prime first hand if you think they'd have gotten annihilated just by comparing points.

        1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
          4 years, 8 days ago

          Got a whole lot of new age capitalism driven football viewer base. YouTube, Twitter and Opta driven.

      3. Nanoelektronicar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        4 years, 8 days ago

        Invincibles would rip the City team to shreads on counter, Dennis and Titi would destroy them.

      4. Scots Gooner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        4 years, 8 days ago

        Surrree…

  13. SHOOTER MCGINN
    4 years, 8 days ago

    Which Liv defender to go for now that I've been sucked back in to thinking they're good? VVD feels safest.

    1. Jet5605
      4 years, 8 days ago

      I'd go for Robbo but he's just back from injury and not sure if he'll play midweek too.

    2. F4L
      4 years, 8 days ago

      VVD, i back him to score once in the next 5

  14. Connor's Calling
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    4 years, 8 days ago

    Need a trade to field 11, so:

    Maddison ->

    A) Mount
    B) Trossard

    1. SirWenger
      4 years, 8 days ago

      A

  15. Jet5605
    4 years, 8 days ago

    Best Pool defender to get in for Reece? Will Robbo start midweek after coming back from injury? Not sure Trent will start when Milner did so well

  16. The Philosopher
    4 years, 8 days ago

    69 all out.

    Not to sound greedy, but some more points from Kane C would've probably eased having missed many of Haaland C hauls. But still, not a bad GW this.

  17. Athletic Nasherbo
    4 years, 8 days ago

    The -12 is on haha. In a week where most will take hits I’m just going to go with it…

    Martinelli, Maddison, Sterling, KdB, Jesus > Rashford, Trossard, Bowen, Salah(C), Darwin/Firmino (-12)

    1. FPL_trail_runner
      4 years, 8 days ago

      Terrible moves

      1. Athletic Nasherbo
        4 years, 8 days ago

        Disagree. Not even a -12 really.

        Sterling won’t start as he played 90 today. The rest don’t play.

        I want Saka, Foden, Cancelo too so I can get those in after.

        1. FPL_trail_runner
          4 years, 8 days ago

          Do Salah (c) in for kdb, the rest will lose you points

          1. Athletic Nasherbo
            4 years, 8 days ago

            They won’t this week.

            I plan on pivoting to Foden and Saka in a few weeks too.

    2. JBG
      4 years, 8 days ago

      My brain threw up from reading that.

      1. Athletic Nasherbo
        4 years, 8 days ago

        Brains don’t throw up fella

        1. JBG
          4 years, 8 days ago

          No s**t Sherlock.

          1. Athletic Nasherbo
            4 years, 8 days ago

            Why are you angry mate

    3. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      4 years, 8 days ago

      When did you stop playing seriously?

      1. Athletic Nasherbo
        4 years, 8 days ago

        Tell me why they aren’t serious?

        Why are the players I am bringing in bad?

        I can play 11 with these moves.

        Haven’t taken a hit all season.

        1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
          4 years, 8 days ago

          Trosshard is one game only
          Rashford just lol
          Bowen Vs pool who looked great today

          How many more hits to correct it?
          Fill ya boots if it makes you happy but I presume you wanted feedback

          1. Athletic Nasherbo
            4 years, 8 days ago

            Yeah hence why I asked for you to clarify after your comment which offered no feedback - that is all.

            Yeah Trossard replaces Maddison who is banned.

            Rashford is a big game player

            Bowen isn’t just for one week. Will suit playing on the counter

            1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
              4 years, 8 days ago

              What's your plan for Foden, Saka. Surely they are more important than Bowen and Rashford

              1. Athletic Nasherbo
                4 years, 8 days ago

                So I own Zaha, so I’ll do Zaha > Saka GW13.

                For Foden, I think I’ll take a risk and wait until Gw14-15 for Trossard most likely.

                I still have Haaland and Saliba.

  18. FPL_trail_runner
    4 years, 8 days ago

    Guys Liverpool destroyed them

    xg

    Liverpool 2.27 City 1.04

    1. F4L
      4 years, 8 days ago

      there were 2 chances (Jota header and Nunez at the end) where they were flagged for offside, not sure if they've been counted in that xG stat

      but yeah, Liverpool deserved that win, salah should've squared for Jota as well for a tap in

  19. Please Help I Don't Kn…
    4 years, 8 days ago

    Madders + Reece to Trossard and Trips (-4)? I'm planning to WC the week after.

    1. chaser123
      4 years, 8 days ago

      For the -4 to pay off, you need your second transfer to outscore 4. Is it worth it?

  20. chaser123
    4 years, 8 days ago

    Anyone else considering rolling despite not having 11 for this week?

    This is how it looks for me…

    Kepa
    Trippier Jonny Guehi Neco
    Trossard Zaha Andreas
    Kane Mitro

    Ward Cancelo Martinelli KDB Haaland

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      4 years, 8 days ago

      Can you do KDB > Salah? I'd do if I were you ...

      1. chaser123
        4 years, 8 days ago

        Unfortunately nothing in the bank

  21. Bounce
    4 years, 8 days ago

    There will never be another Invincibles ever again, people don't respect Arsenal enough.

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      4 years, 8 days ago

      Shame their own fans didn’t respect their greatest manager

      1. Siva Mohan
        4 years, 8 days ago

        "Wenger Out" banners at the Emirates 😀

    2. JBG
      4 years, 8 days ago

      Yeah those 12 draws were breathtaking.

    3. Admiral Benson
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      4 years, 8 days ago

      If a team drew 38 league games and finished on 38 points, would you call them Invincibles?

      1. Siva Mohan
        4 years, 8 days ago

        DEFincibles!

        1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
          4 years, 8 days ago

          Still won the title. Not too sure if anyone else has done that.

      2. The Philosopher
        4 years, 8 days ago

        Yes. Takes some team to not lose a single game all season.

      3. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
        4 years, 8 days ago

        Technically, yes. Another matter that the team won the league too!

  22. Siva Mohan
    4 years, 8 days ago

    TAA .. 1 week punt before WC?

    1. jonnybhoy
      4 years, 8 days ago

      All his fixtures look decent and has a point to prove before World Cup

  23. Gizzachance
    4 years, 8 days ago

    Alisson assist, Gomez cs v city!
    Fpl for you

  24. jonnybhoy
    4 years, 8 days ago

    Tempted by James to TAA

  25. Under my Cucurella
    4 years, 8 days ago

    14.2 for a mid and a defender

    A: Bowen
    B: Antony
    C: Trossard
    D: Mount

    1: Castagne
    2: Young
    3. T Silva
    4. Other?

    Guaita Ward
    Trippier Kilman Dalot xxx Cancelo
    Salah Zaha Martinelli Andreas xxx Martinelli
    Toney Mitrovic Haaland

    1. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      4 years, 8 days ago

      Mount + Guehi

      That should leave money ITB for Zaha > Foden/Saka in 13.

      1. Under my Cucurella
        4 years, 8 days ago

        Would have enough for that 13 move with any of the defensive options tbf. Why Guehi over the others?

    2. Ëð
      4 years, 8 days ago

      C1

    3. Bluetiger1
      4 years, 8 days ago

      C1

  26. GE
    4 years, 8 days ago

    FH this team or take some hits?

    (1FT, 1.6 itb)

    Pope
    Trippier/Castagne/Neco
    Bowen/Zaha
    Mitro

    Bench/not playing: Ward, Cancelo, Patterson, KDB, Maddison, Martinelli, Haaland, Taylor

    1. Ëð
      4 years, 8 days ago

      FH, not enough players.

  27. Ëð
    4 years, 8 days ago

    For GW12 only:

    A) Kane (C), Zaha/Trossard
    B) Wilson/Toney, Salah (C)

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      4 years, 8 days ago

      Wilson Salah for 1 week

  28. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    4 years, 8 days ago

    How long will Gomez hold that CB position? Konate Matip out for long?

  29. Chalobah's Witness
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    4 years, 8 days ago

    can't even line up 8 players next GW and don't have FH or WC left.
    What to do?

  30. jacob1989
    4 years, 8 days ago

    Maddison and foden to salah and 5.3 like billing for - 4? But i cant get back Foden then
