The final Premier League match of the day is the meeting between Leicester City and Liverpool at the King Power Stadium.

Kick-off is at 4.30pm BST.

Trent Alexander-Arnold, who hasn’t played since Gameweek 28 due to an ankle injury, is back on the bench for Liverpool.

Arne Slot makes two changes to his starting XI.

Dominik Szoboszlai comes in for Curtis Jones, while Cody Gakpo replaces Diogo Jota, presumably shifting Luis Diaz into a central striker role.

Leicester, who grabbed a rare point at Brighton and Hove Albion in their last outing, breaking their eight-game goal drought in the process, make three alterations.

Wout Faes, Ricardo Pereira and Bobby De-Cordova Reid get recalls, with Caleb Okoli, James Justin and Kasey McAteer dropping out.

LINE-UPS

Leicester City XI: Hermansen, Pereira, Faes, Coady, Thomas, Ndidi, Soumare, El Khannouss, De Cordova-Reid, Mavididi, Vardy

Subs: Stolarczyk, Justin, Kristiansen, Okoli, Skipp, Buonanotte, Monga, Ayew, Daka

Liverpool XI: Alisson, Bradley, Konate, van Dijk, Tsimikas, Gravenberch, Mac Allister, Szoboszlai, Salah, Gakpo, Diaz

Subs: Kelleher, Endo, Darwin, Jones, Elliott, Jota, Robertson, Alexander-Arnold, Quansah

    Guy in league took Salah out for KDB and he's got away with it. Unbelievable.

    (M)armoush back in the driving seat now as I doubt Saka plays v palace. what a topsy turvy world FPL is

    1. Philosopher's Stones
      • 5 Years

      Scenes when Marmoush is benched as well (I'm a Marmoush capper too).

    2. F4L

      such a shame he missed that big chance yesterday before o'reilly scored, would've got 3 bonus. ah well.

    If Liverpool win the league next GW, Salah is going out from my team.

    1. el polako
      • 8 Years

      He’s signed new contract and now doing Auba.

      1. Reddonkeyham 42

        Uber pool

    Free hitters in 34 will have TAA, who is a great differential. Everyone on FH must get him.

    1. boc610
      • 13 Years
      8 months, 8 days ago

      no guarantee he starts bradley was class in that game

      1. have you seen cyan
        • 6 Years
        8 months, 8 days ago

        I think on FH and so late in the season, you need to get TAA on FH.

        TAA is still first choice, surely.

        1. FourLokoLeipzig
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          8 months, 8 days ago

          Think the fact it’s a potential title clincher is also in his favour a start

    2. F4L
      • 11 Years

      taa aint no sessegnon 😛 hope hes fine for next gw

  5. Egg noodle

    What's the best 5 FH defenders?

    1. have you seen cyan
      • 6 Years
      8 months, 8 days ago

      TAA, Sess, Robinson, Ait, and maybe Cuc.

      I didn't look though, that's just what my brain tells me.

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      8 months, 8 days ago

      TAA Trippier RAN Sessegnon Milenkovic/Cururella

  6. Bonus magnet

    Looking for the best FH team

    Anyone with the template please

    1. Reddonkeyham 42
      • 11 Years
      8 months, 8 days ago

      Some,
      Of, the, best,
      Players, with, the, nicest
      Fixtures, plus, differential

      1. Bonus magnet
        • 9 Years
        8 months, 8 days ago

        I don’t like that bench order

        1. Reddonkeyham 42
          • 11 Years
          8 months, 8 days ago

          Forgot about bench. I'd go for;
          A, Few, Good, Men

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      8 months, 8 days ago

      Not sure template or not ... just tried building this:

      Sels
      TAA Trippier RAN
      Salah Palmer MGW Barnes
      Isak Cunha Welbeck/Wissa/Wood

      Leno Elanga Cucurella Sessegnon

      1. Reddonkeyham 42
        • 11 Years
        8 months, 8 days ago

        I'd captain Welbeck/Wissa/Wood

  7. F4L

    jfc why do i still own palmer. dont even feel like im missing on points either. what a weird end to the season for the premiums

    1. JBG
      • 7 Years
      8 months, 8 days ago

      Premiums this season(besides Salah up until now) have been shocking this season imo.

    2. have you seen cyan
      • 6 Years
      8 months, 8 days ago

      Yep, all of them are trash.

  8. KeanosMagic
    • 3 Years
    8 months, 8 days ago

    Desperately need KDB to outscore Marmoush and Saka in the midweek fixtures.

    Please let something go right this week!

    1. have you seen cyan
      • 6 Years
      8 months, 8 days ago

      Is KDB on pens?

      1. KeanosMagic
        • 3 Years
        8 months, 8 days ago

        I'm going to say yes 🙂

        1. have you seen cyan
          • 6 Years
          8 months, 8 days ago

          I think there is a good chance he is. He has a pretty good penalty record. 10 scored, 2 missed.

      2. Sun Jihai
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        8 months, 8 days ago

        Marmoush most likely

    2. Kingy109
      • 4 Years
      8 months, 8 days ago

      Can't take pens from the bench!

      1. have you seen cyan
        • 6 Years
        8 months, 8 days ago

        Lol. Lets hope he starts then!

  9. Punned It
      8 months, 8 days ago

      So I have Salah, brought in Konaté just for the assumed CS, and then got Diaz as a cheeky punt. And Konaté just goes ahead and outscores Salah and Diaz combined, with a three point bonus cherry on top. I don't even.

    • BUZZBOMB ♡
      • 10 Years
      8 months, 8 days ago

      If you could have 7 GW34 players for free including Livra, Murph and Isak (and Areola, Milenkovic and Salah), is it actually worth a FH?

      Unsure if a -4 or -8 would be better, although unlikely to be able to capitalise on many more DGWs.

    • gooberman
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 months, 8 days ago

      Marmoush now not looking like a bad captain choice. Saka 1pt and injured so wont be risked against Palace and Salah blank.

      1. Sun Jihai
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        8 months, 8 days ago

        Yep
        Likely 1 point from your captain in a DGW is pure pain especially with Marmoush's EO

    • Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      8 months, 8 days ago

      Love how Saka couldn’t last 3 more minutes and ended up with 1 point as opposed to 3

      FPL_Harry with 46 from AssMan with a game still to play (and realistically means 53+)
      Such a powerful chip, compared to the impact of BB or TC!
