The latest match of Gameweek 36 takes place at the King Power Stadium, where Leicester City host Liverpool at 20:00 BST.

It’s a huge night at both ends, as the 19th-placed Foxes are running out of time to escape a shock relegation but face an in-form team looking for their seventh consecutive win, to push them closer towards a top-four finish.

Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers have heavily backed both Mohamed Salah (£13.1m) and Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.7m) against a defence that’s without a clean sheet in 20 matches and just conceded five times to Fulham.

Both start, as expected, just like Cody Gakpo (£7.7m) and Andrew Robertson (£6.8m), although Diogo Jota (£8.7m) only makes the bench. Fellow forward Darwin Nunez (£8.6m) is absent due to a minor toe injury.

Meanwhile, Leicester make three changes to their line-up. Out goes Dennis Praet (£4.8m) and Victor Kristiansen (£4.5m), allowing Wilfred Ndidi (£4.8m) and injury-free Ricardo Pereira (£4.2m) to enter proceedings.

A centre-back swap sees Jonny Evans (£4.4m) start for the first time since November, alongside the same Wout Faes (£4.2m) who scored two own goals in December’s reverse meeting.

Jamie Vardy (£9.1m) gets the nod up front, having previously netted ten times against the Reds – although only once in the last seven occasions.

GAMEWEEK 36 LINE-UPS

Leicester City XI: Iversen; Ricardo, Faes, Evans, Castagne; Soumare, Ndidi, Tielemans; Maddison, Vardy, Barnes

Subs: Smithies, Souttar, Kristiansen, Amartey, Thomas, Mendy, Praet, Tete, Daka

Liverpool XI: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, van Dijk, Robertson; Henderson, Fabinho, Jones; Salah, Gakpo, Luis Diaz

Subs: Kelleher, Gomez, Tsimikas, Matip, Milner, Arthur, Elliott, Carvalho, Jota

    2. Paqueta Rice
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      1. Utopsis
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Lol wot

        1. Paqueta Rice
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          Huh?

          1. Utopsis
            • 6 Years
            2 years, 11 months ago

            You're comparing Salah to Coady?

            1. Paqueta Rice
              • 5 Years
              2 years, 11 months ago

              No, not at all. I just said my cup rival owns Salah and I own Coady Gakpo?

              1. Utopsis
                • 6 Years
                2 years, 11 months ago

                Oh haha, genuinely thought you meant Connor Coady!

    3. Marvin.
      • 9 Years

      You found the letter p once, I'm sure you can find it again.

            • 15 Years

            spelt Gakpo wrong too

            1. Riverside Red
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 6 Years
              2 years, 11 months ago

              Waiting for that one as well

  10. Paqueta Rice
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    LiVARpol lol where were the lines?

    1. Amartey Partey
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Honestly have no idea how that was given. He looked offside to me.

  11. DycheDycheBaby
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Getting destroyed by No Salah. 🙁

  12. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    It's a shame everyone owns Salah

    1. DycheDycheBaby
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      I don't lol

    2. Gross Blank Point

      My captain. Saving my week here.

      1. Oasthouse FC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        My captain too, hoping for a couple of goals as well

        1. Gross Blank Point
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          Haha, lets not get too greedy. But yeh, that would be handy!!

  13. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Floodgates are open

  14. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Should have been a third Salah assist.

  15. FPL Pillars
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Mo Salah was my transfer in, this was why!

  16. Nate(U)dog(ie)
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    You wonder what VAR are doing sometimes. They spent a good 15-20 seconds looking at the pass into Salah, and then drawing a line on Jones, AND the line wasn't even at the end of his foot

  17. Scalper
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    How is that not offside? Don’t get me wrong I’m glad Salah got the A, but quite a clear call unless I missed something

    1. Paqueta Rice
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Johnny Evans heel but they didn’t draw the line from Jones shoulder. Seems strange

    2. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Evans' heel was ahead of Jones, you can see his white boot

    3. Flying Dutchman
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      He wasn’t offside when Salah passed the ball.
      But yeah they didn’t draw any line to check it

    4. Amartey Partey
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Same. I have Salah too. That was a weird one.

  18. Jordan.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    just f off salah

  19. JBG
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Leicester are fcking awful.

    1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Totally Foxed up.

  20. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Salah points for everyone I guess

    1. Utopsis
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Not my rival

  21. LarryDuff
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Second assist not coming up for anyone else

  22. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Just logged on to say that was offside. Wtf?

    1. LarryDuff
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      do us a favour and log off again

      1. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        No problem

  23. SINGH
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    So glad my captaincy punt on Jones has paid off

    1. Utopsis
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      He was the pro transfer in tbf

      1. SINGH
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Yeah but I also had Undav from Brighton

  24. Supersonic_
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Could do with Gakpo getting involved

    1. Riverside Red
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Like substituted

    2. FPL Pillars
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Well he’s missed a big chance, not very good finishing

  25. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Now that's a Rashford autosub! 😎

    1. Sandy Ravage
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Nice!

    2. FPL Pillars
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      When your luck is in… it’s in

    3. DaniCT
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Omg. That's nice

  26. Old Man
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    We're doomed.

    1. SINGH
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      No premier league for 20 30 years

      1. Old Man
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Nah - we'll be back in the not too distant future. However, if you're right I won't be around to see it.

    2. Sandy Ravage
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Could end 3-3...

    3. PartyTime
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Rodgers fault. That squad is too good to go down regardless of the transfer budget. Rodgers couldn’t settle on a particular system. Should have been sacked earlier.

  27. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    100 point week looks on

    1. Ten Hag of Bud
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Same for me, even with FIVE total no-shows and 1pt on bench. Triple Bighton and Newcastle and Salah in-play.

      Good luck!

  28. JBG
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    I sold Gakpo for Macallister, but brought in Wilson for Solanke with the extra cash, so can't be too annoyed if Gakpo returns.

    1. FPL Pillars
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      I would be annoyed he should have scored already, always time for a red card as well

  29. Paqueta Rice
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Gakpo I can’t get over that miss. Either side of the keeper and it was in but straight at him.

    1. Utopsis
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Not a natural finisher

      1. Paqueta Rice
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        No, seems he is not

  30. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Salah and TAA should be good for about 10 points each now

    1. Bluetiger1
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      fingers cross hoping for more points for both - perfect finish to an interesting evening
