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

    Cant believe thats a Salah assist

    Salah owner btw

    1. Feanor
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Do you think the balled rolled without being touched?

    2. Reece’s Pieces
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      He moved it along quite a bit to open up the angle. We’ll take it (fellow owner)

  10. Reece’s Pieces
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Salah Captain paying off

    1. Sure You Did
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Wilson captainers are the real winners.

  11. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Trent is trenting again

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

    3 - Jones (55)
    2 - Salah (38)
    1 - Alexander-Arnold (32)

    1. KanuLenoMeeMoCash
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      TAA should be on more surely

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

    Salah goal would be icing on a most agreeable cake indeed.

    Jota says hi

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

      Literally the icing on the cake, as blocks my rival's jammy Mee points

      1. lespaul
        • 16 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        It isn't "literally" icing on a cake. It's metaphorical.

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

          "INFORMAL
          used for emphasis while not being literally true"

          But yes you are grammatically correct.

          You're literally making mountains out of mole hills.

    27 points combined for TAA and Salah
    Jones will take the 3bps

  16. Tonyawesome69
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Assist of the season from Salah!

  17. Ady87
    • 12 Years

    1. Utopsis
      • 6 Years

    2. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      1. Count of Monte Hristo
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Isak (c) but we know he is in Wilson’s rear view.

        1. Reece’s Pieces
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          Present

        2. Sure You Did
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          He is nowhere near Wilson.

          1. Count of Monte Hristo
            • 12 Years
            2 years, 11 months ago

            Sit down.

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

      I’d be there if I didn’t bottle going Wilson instead of Isak!

    I'll be smashing that 100 point barrier this game week then. 95 with 6 plus Wilson captain to go.

    I'm going hunting.

    1. Ady87
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Big score with 6 + (c) to go!

    1. Reece’s Pieces
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      I’m planning to do the same. Been 14 years on. Need to see what life is like without FPL

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

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

    Don’t worry Trippier will still manage 1 points vs this Leicester next week

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      You know it!

  24. Sure You Did
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Moment of silence for non Salah and TAA owners.

  25. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Jota denied a chance by the ref

  26. Fred54
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    At least Maddison not booked.

  27. My heart goes Salalalalah
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    This. Is. Salaaaaaaaaaaah!!

  28. Ady87
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Saka my only 2 pointer this week.

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

      I’ve had zero!

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

      I have Stones, Dalot, Rashford, Martinelli, Toney and so far Murphy (yet to play in the DGW).

      So far Estupinian and Salah (c) saving my GW.

  29. Sure You Did
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    101 with 6 to go including Wilson captain, about average?

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

      Below average I would think

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

    Wish I could understand bps.
    Toney stands around the whole match, gets a sneaky penalty and gets 3 bps.

    Salah busts his a$$ and gets 3 assists, 1bps.

    1. KanuLenoMeeMoCash
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      24 for forward goal, 6 for goal that wins match
      9 per assist

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

        This. Goal for a forward is the same bps as 2.7x assists. I do think penalties should have a lower bps impact from scoring, missing or saving.
