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

    3 years, 6 months ago

    Saying this before any kickoff tonight

    Going to get Salah(c) for week 12. Running with a threemium of Kane Haaland Salah with Foden Saka Martinelli and cheap defence of Ederson White Doherty Schar and Guehi until WC

    gona be fun.

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

      Brought Salah in last night, gonna be captain for 12 I reckon.

      1. x.jim.x
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Best hope he doesn’t snap his hamstring then

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

          I know yeah lol

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

        Yep same here

        Maybe even go with him in 13 also - if i really want to push

        He could easily get hat trick away to forrest

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

          Fo sho!

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

      i have two dilemmas - continue with kane and no salah or sacrifice Kane to get salah in GW13 for that NFO fixture...

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

        Having a 3mium for 4 weeks takes care of that issue

        Im lucky with Ederson to try and cover Cancelo short term.

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

        Kane blanked gw1 and has not since.

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

        cant get 3mium with my set up, unfortunately..but yes it's a good idea if u can till WC..

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

      Why on earth are people bringing Salah in, he has been shocking

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

        Lets come back to this post later after

        Salah (c) mid week and (c) or vc against Forest.

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

          He has looked woeful for some time, even if he scores which I highly doubt he's a waste of funds at that price

  3. Ten Hag of Bud
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Anyone who talks politics should be banned. Fk politics!

    1. threeputt
      • 16 Years

      I love it it's hilarious atm, I said at the time how on earth did they choose Truss ahead of Rishi

    2. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years

      But but... Democracy?

    3. Alan The Llama
      • 16 Years

      Pretty sure your reference to "peasant kids" earlier is 100% political. Oh, you mean politics you don't agree with.

        • 12 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Yep thx. Think might do foden for mount for next gw, then bak foden for gw 13 w/ ft, no?

        In reality is a -2 fokr me given foden doesnt play next gw

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

    Should I bring in Jota, Firmino, or Nunez?

    1. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Firmino or nothing.

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

      I'm leaning towards Nunez, which sounds more like a gamble lol

  10. Count of Monte Hristo
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    My midfield this week 😆

    Bowen 2, Maddison 2, Son 3, Zaha 3

    Andreas bench 5

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

      Full of quality but no points

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

      Exactly the same. Will be ditching Zaha for Foden after Tuesday

  11. Berkshire Hafaway-Line
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Good amount of zips on Pep's jacket. Reassuring.

  12. Lingard’s Shin Guards
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    cancelo playing like a winger

    1. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      He wears number 7 for a reason.

  13. bowsy51
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Trossard or Mount for GW12 punt?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      You could keep Mount.

    2. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Has to be Trossard to attack that shocking NFO defence

    3. Cojones of Destiny
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      trossard

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

    Jan Molby at the game - hope Troy Hawke is watching.

  15. BobbyDoesNotLook
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Arsenal cs so annoying after all the chances for Leeds. Eo still surprisingly high.

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

      Ridiculously high in my mini leagues! Saliba is the first player I'm bringing in after the BGW.

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

        Dont know how to prioritize that before WC wc but is almost a must.

  16. Andy_Social
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    1-0 to the Ars-en-al guarantees them top spot going into GW13 whatever happens at Anfield or midweek. Cool!

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

      1-0 to the VARsenal! COYG

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

    Tross or Gross?

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

      Dross

    2. AzzaroMax99
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Boss

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

      Tross. Probably repeats his 20 pointer next GW.

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

        Fingers crossed

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

    Mount or Zaha in for Maddison?

    Pope
    Trippier Kilman Guehi Neco
    Salah Bowen Andreas ?????
    Toney Mitrovic
    Ward Haaland Cancelo Martinelli

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

      mount

  19. JohnnyCroat
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    62 all out, zero skin in this final game. Roll on GW12!!!

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

      Not so subtle brag

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

      You don’t own Haaland..?

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

        I do not... & at his inflated price now, I won't break my team to get him in. I have to hope to match him, or gain elsewhere. And I've done that several weeks for sure. When he hurts me, it's epic pain. When he whiffs, I'm seeing big green.

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

      GW11 - worked out well with current scores in with 62.

      Haaland -
      a. if all out have you played season without him?
      b. if yes what is your over all ranking?

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

        Rank has to be poor

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

        I was low for a while, in the 5 million bracket. Can't account for Norwegian hattricks. Back up to 1.7 now more or less. Not winning this, but aiming for 100K.

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

          Wishing you all the best

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

        interested as I have felt for the first time Haaland a must as his ripping on the record books - even more than last couple of season when Salah on form - well done CrotianHammer

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

    Trippier serious captain option gw 12

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

      That’s my pick. Could be due a 15 pointer

    2. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      It was him or Sterling for me, after watching Chelsea today I think it's definitely Trippier

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

        Agree

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

    Liverpool looking solid

    1. Freshy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      It OK James Milner is in charge

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

    I’m completely fine with a Haaland blank if it helps widen Arsenal’s gap at the top.

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

    Is there a place I can see players all time statistics vs certain teams aka Salah vs West Ham?

    1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Transfermarkt

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

    Bowen totally anonymous today.

    Kane to Wilson + Maddy to Salah - 4

    Or just

    Maddy to Mount and keep Kane

    Tough call

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

      Mount is so hit and miss

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

        Sell for saka in 13

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

          Still Salah imo

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

      I'm capping Salah next week.

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

    I think I’m going to have to get back on salah and maybe get Robertson

    Liverpool looking good here

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

      And maybe jota too

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

      Robbo could share mins. Pool have the shortest turnaround times off the lot. Vvd safer but less reward

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

      I've been on Salah all season, it's like playing with a handicap

    4. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Liverpool will always get chances against a team like City because of the way these two teams play, the problem is against low blocks or teams that don't put the numbers forward that City do

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

      He's just too expensive. Better to spend on one of the Liverpool fwds. Haaland is still permacap.

    6. Danno - Emre Canada
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      TAA on bench ....

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

    That Jota / Darwin / Firmino call feels hard to make.

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

      Ikr

    2. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Best avoided.

    3. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Gonna pick 2 just to be safe. Or stupid.

  27. Count of Monte Hristo
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    GW12

    Trippier (c) Webster (vc)

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

      Nice

  28. Feloh
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Would you bring in Salah?

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

      Yup, and have done

    2. Lingard’s Shin Guards
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      will be easier to make a decision after this game. hopefully he gets something here

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

        Not certain yet. Let us see this match first. I believe he is simply too expensive.

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

      Not worth it with Haaland permacap
      Better working towards a strong 7-8m midfield with the funds e.g. Saka, Mount, Martinelli, Foden, Zaha

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

        Mount is obvious buy today, yes.

  29. The Philosopher
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Still someway to go, but were people serious City were going to whip Liverpool in front of the Anfield crowd?

    1. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Yes they were. Very serious indeed.

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

      City will win. Put your money on it & cash out

      1. The Philosopher
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        City will win, I'm quite positive, but to win by whipping Liverpool isn't going to happen. May be a 1-2 win.

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

      No Trent = Decent Defense

    4. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Captain Hindsight

      1. The Philosopher
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Said it yesterday prof

    5. Freshy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Thor's Hammer will strike

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

      They did last season?

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

    Salah can't even get a FK let alone a return
