The final match of Gameweek 25 sees Liverpool and Manchester City square off at Anfield.

Kick-off is at 16:30 GMT.

TEAM NEWS

Pep Guardiola makes five changes from Wednesday’s EFL Cup quarter-final.

Gianluigi Donnarumma, Marc Guehi, Rodri, Bernardo Silva and Erling Haaland all return.

They oust the benched James Trafford, Nathan Ake, Nico Gonzalez, Tijjani Reijnders and Phil Foden.

Ruben Dias and Rayan Cherki are also named among the substitutes.

Liverpool are unsurprisingly unchanged from the side that thrashed Newcastle United 4-1 last time out, with Mohamed Salah, Florian Wirtz and Cody Gakpo providing support for Hugo Ekitike up top.

LINE-UPS

Liverpool XI: Alisson, Szoboszlai, Konate, van Dijk, Kerkez, Gravenberch, Mac Allister, Salah, Wirtz, Gakpo, Ekitike

Subs: Mamardashvili, Woodman, Endo, Chiesa, Jones, Robertson, Nyoni, Ramsey, Ngumoha

Manchester City XI: Donnarumma, Nunes, Khusanov, Guehi, Ait-Nouri, Rodri, Bernardo, O’Reilly, Semenyo, Marmoush, Haaland

Subs: Trafford, Dias, Reijnders, Ake, Cherki, Nico, Foden, Alleyne, Lewis

          He will never win a PL title playing his own team.

          Fixed it for you.

    Useless match. Sitting with 3 attackers and the only the most owned guy returns. Hopeless season. Time to get my boy Porkeres in and slop the armband on him as well.

    time to get guehi in? cant be given OGs, cant be sent off. maybe he'll just get given a goal next GW without touching the ball?

  4. GE

    Wilson -> Mbeumo?
    (bought Wilson at 5.3)

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 11 Years

      wait for injury news.

      1. GE

        2 months, 4 days ago

        Mbeumo injured?

    FKCCKKKKK Szobozlai ruined my Hauland

    1. keefy59

      He captained Bruno

  6. FC Hakkebøf
    • 9 Years
    2 months, 4 days ago

    A) VVD to Saliba
    B) Gakpo to Rice

    Already have Gabriel and Timber. So I am leaning towards B due to bgw31.

    1. bso
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Not Rice...totally off the boil.

    Verb HWilson to Raya Sarr for free?

    Or would you rather punt on some Arsenal mid for DGW? Raya means triple def.

    While getting Raya I could upgrade HWilson to mid up to 7.3.

    1. Jet5605
      • 11 Years
      2 months, 4 days ago

      Personally I don't trust Sarr to deliver when it matters. He reels you in and then trolls you

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 11 Years
        2 months, 4 days ago

        lol I second this

    1. Szoboslai prevents a clear goal scoring opportunity
    2. If play advantage, free kick to Liverpool for subsequent tug on Szoboslai by Haaland
    3. Therefore no advantage, free kick to Man City and red card for Szoboslai.

    Planning to do DCL > Thiago next week but should I just do it early for free or wait?

    A - DCL > Thiago (ARS)
    B - Play DCL (che)

    can't remember the last time someone ended on bonus while getting a red

  12. DeSelby
    • 3 Years
    2 months, 4 days ago

    I have Szobo and Haaland(C). Trying to figure out how many points that idiotic Szobo red card just cost me. I think at least 11.

    Anybody keeping Ekitike, fixtures are not bad but LIV not convincing at all ...

    1. Sailboats
      • 10 Years
      2 months, 4 days ago

      I feel like selling for Jpedro

      1. Magic Zico

    2. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      2 months, 4 days ago

      I’m -27 from my original team DCL & Palmer > Ekitike & Enzo 😮

      Sometimes better to do nothing 🙄

      1. DeSelby
        • 3 Years
        2 months, 4 days ago

        Ouchie.

  14. Ze_Austin
    • 7 Years
    2 months, 4 days ago

    Finally, multiple premiums hauled in the same GW

    It's been a long while

  15. #1 Salah Hater
    • 1 Year
    2 months, 4 days ago

    At least Ekitike can repost 10,000 Instagram reels tonight to forget about that sitter he missed from 4 yards out

    Guy ain't got the chops for big games. Clear as day to see

  16. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    2 months, 4 days ago

    Such a stupid move from Szobo, what was the point? Pool were losing anyways and now he gets 3 games suspension

    1. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      2 months, 4 days ago

      1 game

      No violent conduct

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 months, 4 days ago

      One

  17. AC Pilkington
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    2 months, 4 days ago

    Does Semenyo start again midweek do we think?

    1. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      2 months, 4 days ago

      ...Pep.

      Wouldn't buy now, but definitely still starting him in my team

  18. tucaoneo
    • 7 Years
    2 months, 4 days ago

    Fuming. A washed Haaland got more points than Bruno and JP.

      So after this GW title race is still on and relegation battle is still on.

    • pundit of punts
      • 13 Years
      2 months, 4 days ago

      94 (-4) all out

      Need to have a plan for Haaland in GW 28 now

      OR 1.42 m ➡ 890k

      Haaland points lost me 150k rank 🙁

    • Waletek
        2 months, 4 days ago

        Bench one

        2 months, 4 days ago

        Not like me to play boring but with 2 FT looking to hold and have 4FT for 28
        I have also scrapped the Munoz in plan for this week.
        My question is it ok to go without Wirtz and Ekitike til 28 with nothing ITB
        Not anyone that looks like a good idea to get rid of now either good fixtures immediately or for 31

        Team is

        Sanchez

        Gabriel(C) Timber Chalobah Tark

        Palmer BrunoF Rice Semenyo

        Haaland Kroupi

        Dub Thiago Wilson Alderete
