Gameweek 36 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) comes to a conclusion this afternoon at Anfield.

Liverpool v Arsenal gets underway at 16:30 BST.

Arne Slot has made six changes from the team that lost at Chelsea last week.

Ibrahima Konate, Conor Bradley and Andrew Robertson come back into the defence, with Ryan Gravenberch, Dominik Szoboszlai and Luis Diaz earning recalls further forward.

Jarell Quansah, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Kostas Tsimikas, Wataru Endo, Harvey Elliott and Diogo Jota drop to the bench.

Arsenal, meanwhile, have made two alterations to their starting line-up.

Ben White and Leandro Trossard replace Jurrien Timber and Declan Rice, who is not in the matchday squad.


LINE-UPS

Liverpool XI: Alisson, Bradley, Konate, van Dijk, Robertson, Gravenberch, Jones, Salah, Szoboszlai, Gakpo, Diaz

Subs: Kelleher, Endo, Nunez, Mac Allister, Elliott, Jota, Tsimikas, Alexander-Arnold, Quansah

Arsenal XI: Raya, White, Saliba, Kiwior, Lewis-Skelly, Partey, Odegaard, Merino, Saka, Martinelli, Trossard

Subs: Neto, Tierney, Timber, Zinchenko, Sterling, Calafiori, Butler-Oyedeji, Henry-Francis, Nwaneri

    Salah not getting another return is he?

    1. WVA
      • 9 Years
      11 months, 13 days ago

      May as well not be on the pitch

    2. KeanosMagic
      • 4 Years
      11 months, 13 days ago

      Last day of the season I think

  2. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    11 months, 13 days ago

    A Trent special for old times sake

  3. Nightcrawler
    • 6 Years
    11 months, 13 days ago

    This merino experiment hopefully means a proper striker over havertz. Anyone playing up top can get the numbers havertz did

  4. WVA
    • 9 Years
    11 months, 13 days ago

    Salah and Saka worst two players on pitch lol typical

    Classless from Liv fans re Trent
    Their fault for 2nd goal

  6. Nightcrawler

    People are surprised Liverpool can go 2-0 up. Then the same people can't believe Arsenal can get two goals back. As if these aren't the two best teams in the league...oh my.

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      11 months, 13 days ago

      Shameful. Key part of PL titles and UCL wins. Hasn't moaned in the background, just didn't talk about Andy transfer news.

      Blame the club for not sorting the contract out to get some compensation earlier.

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        11 months, 13 days ago

  11. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    11 months, 13 days ago

    Salah really tailed off, hasn’t he?

    1. WVA
      • 9 Years
      11 months, 13 days ago

  15. Nightcrawler
    • 6 Years
    11 months, 13 days ago

    How is it a free kick if it's advantage and pool end up taking a shot?

    Clear red card though

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      11 months, 13 days ago

      3 second rule?

      Can bring it back

      1. Nightcrawler
        • 6 Years
        11 months, 13 days ago

        But pool ended up taking a shot from a better chance than fk

  16. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 12 Years

    1. Punned It
      • 1 Year
      11 months, 13 days ago

      I'm not really sure if Palmer's back yet. Otherwise a fun move.

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      11 months, 13 days ago

      KDB home to Bournemouth could be fine

      Especially if he doesn't start the FA Cup final or it doesn't go to extra time etc

      Which won't be known by Friday

    3. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 12 Years
      11 months, 13 days ago

      1. Punned It
        • 1 Year
        11 months, 13 days ago

        Someone's an angry Palmer owner.

        1. Count of Monte Hristo
          • 12 Years
          11 months, 13 days ago

  21. Punned It
    • 1 Year
    11 months, 13 days ago

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      11 months, 13 days ago

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years
      11 months, 13 days ago
