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

  4. Free Hat

    3 assists from your player and still disappointed

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      What could've been right?

      1. Free Hat
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        He was pretty poor apart from 2 good assists tbf,
        But that miss was a real head scratcher!

  5. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Salah fail!

  6. Red Star Toro
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Trent on pens now

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

      Milner ( farewell goal )

      1. Red Star Toro
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Feck forgot he was on

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

      Milner or fabinho probably

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

    Mo off

  8. EffPeeEll
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Salah looked offside to me-maybe the pundits will clear it up

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

    Alisson up to 2bps with Salah ahead of TAA

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

      Ahead now....

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

    Maguire lookalike and namesake on

  11. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    What a ledge he is

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

    Alisson big bonus jump

    Jones (57)
    Alisson (35)
    Salah (33)
    Alexander-Arnold (32)
    Van Dijk (26)

    1. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Should be impossible to get a hat trick of assists and not be on max BAPS

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

        Why....?

        1. Scapegoat Salah
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          Hat trick of assist is impressive, the only exception should be if it’s a hat trick of goals for the scorer

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

            Which, if a hat-trick of assists happened with a hat-trick of goals would make your whole "should be impossible scenario" not possible....

            1. Scapegoat Salah
              • 9 Years
              2 years, 11 months ago

              True

              1. Indpush
                • 8 Years
                2 years, 11 months ago

                Near impossible?

          2. GreennRed
            • 14 Years
            2 years, 11 months ago

            He missed a sitter.

  13. Kaneyonero
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    1. EffPeeEll
      • 6 Years

      • 9 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

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

    Trent no boners 🙁

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

      Goal plus CS how

      1. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Fouls, pool passing% & the others doing the good stuff.

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

          I see.. not watching

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

      Needs a chance created

  15. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Manipulation needed for Trent...

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

    Trent, Robbo n Salah owner here YEEHAH!! Needed that big time! Love it when a plan comes together

  17. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Leicester need WARD back asap

  18. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Trent levels it at the death...

    1. Alnair
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Takes the lead, Salah without bonus

  19. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    That’s a serious flaw if Alison gets bonus over Salah.

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

    Salah 3rd, Trent 4th baps ? What the what

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

      The system has been in desperate need of an overhaul for years

      1. Bobby Digital
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        You liked the man in the stands better? When Fabregas always got three baps :p

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

    Gonna have to work out how Alisson got more bps than Salah there! 0.5 xG prevented

    1. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Somehow better than 3 assists including assisting game winning goal lol

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

        Salah big miss near the end didn't help

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

    Another reason to quit playing fpl. Rigged baps system!

    1. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      It’s that bad I think the game would be better without bonus altogether!

  23. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Alisson YC going down the tunnel needed...

    1. Hy liverpool
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Lol

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

    3 assists but no bonus point. That is quite an achievement!

    1. Bada Bing
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      BPS hates Salah with a vengeance.

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

    Trent Bap now

  26. The Ilfordian
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Was Gakpo playing? Maybe he was keeping Allison company?

  27. Gandalf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    TAA steals Salah's 1 bap

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

      Salah's fault for messing up an easy one on one. Even if he just hits it straight at the keeper he's probably on 2 BAPs now.

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

    The bap race is more exciting than most games this season.

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

      It's like racing magic carpets. Everyone can see who is winning but no one has any clue how they get to the positions they are in

  29. Ask Yourself
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Salah now on zero baps lol Trent has 1 on his own

    Trent (34)
    Salah (33)

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

      Better for those who own both, less people own TAA and some even capped Salah. It's so tight a few points makes all the difference.

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

      Back down to 99 🙁

  30. Bobby Digital
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    I'll take those Alisson baps tyvm
