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

    People often use the phrase "sitter" wrongly here, but damn, that's the definition of "sitter".

  15. Rainer

    Salah wants more BAPs for Trent.

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

      Slightly preferable to have TAA have 2 if you have both!

    I really need a Maddison goal... Not owning TAA is hurting my rank and he's my differential

      • 9 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

    55 points behind top spot in my mini league and fairly similar teams. My transfer this week is Schar to Shaw even though top spot has Shaw. I have KDB and Salah and was thinking a hit to Fernandes even though top spot has him. Was thinking Salah to Fernandez but shall I just stick and not do the hit?
    I have a FH left which I will play in GW38

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

      Jota over Wilson not paying off

  27. The Senate
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    If Jota and Grealish stayed on their benches I would’ve had 13 from Lindelöf and Robinson

    2 points it is

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

  28. romperstomper
    • 16 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Never would've dreamed 27 points from Trent/Salah from the first 20m of this game. Enough from red to green arrow until Thursday at least

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

      Same here. Been staring at a red arrow since that first Wilson pen. Not only is it green, but it's +10%

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