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

        no dias didnt, one touch and its a 1 on 1. cover argument works if youre 25 yards way from goal not when youre literally running onto the ball right on goal into the box. i dont agree at all tbh

        Yep, that's exactly what denying a goalscoring opportunity is.

    Do you cats think Palmer is worth getting?

    Seems he is a penalty Queen, but penalty Queens score plenty of FPL points

    But I have to sell Haaland. Then I can afford anything I want to try. But Haaland does not look close to scoring anything

      Haaland needs 2 weeks rest and a proper #10.

      But in FPL, you would sell.

      Except MCI torched Fulham for 5 goals earlier and Haaland should have scored 3 or 4 goals that day.
