Today’s lockdown-esque Premier League schedule sees four matches take place, each of them in different timeslots.

The first is Brighton and Hove Albion v Liverpool, which kicks off at a slightly delayed 12.45pm GMT due to a traffic accident.

TEAM NEWS

Despite the 63-hour turnaround between games, Liverpool boss Arne Slot has made just two changes from the 4-0 win over Galatasaray on Wednesday.

He’s had his hands forced with both of them, as Alisson and Mohamed Salah are out injured.

Giorgi Mamardashvili and Cody Gakpo come in for those two.

Joe Gomez is fit enough for bench duty.

Brighton’s team news is even more straightforward as Fabian Hurzeler goes unchanged from last weekend.

Kaoru Mitoma is back from injury and among the substitutes.

LINE-UPS

Brighton and Hove Albion XI: Verbruggen; Wieffer, Van Hecke, Dunk, Kadioglu; Milner, Gross; Gomez, Hinshelwood, Minteh; Welbeck.

Subs: Steele, Georginio, Baleba, Kostoulas, Boscagli, Mitoma, Ayari, De Cuyper, Veltman.

Liverpool XI: Mamardashvili; Frimpong, Konate, Van Dijk, Kerkez; Gravenberch, Mac Allister; Szoboszlai, Wirtz, Gakpo, Ekitike.

Subs: Woodman, Gomez, Chiesa, Jones, Robertson, Nyoni, Ramsay, Morrison, Ngumoha.

      Either stays or out of premier league imo

    2. The Philosopher

      Burnley more likely at this rate.

    Milner is a beast

  4. Brazooka

    Ekitike to Welbeck trend transfer

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam

      Bowen for me if Leeds beat w ham

    Frimpongs injury record was really good.

    He's now had 4 hamstring injuries since moving to LIV.

    LIV with so many injuries this season.

    1. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      8 days, 10 hours ago

      Small squad with many injuries makes the cycle worse, as they keep having to overplay each available/recovering player

      Like the death spiral at Tottenham's recovery room

  6. nanxun

    Clumsy Konate.

    1. The Philosopher
      • 5 Years
      8 days, 10 hours ago

      That's what his friends used to call him when he was a kid.

      1. el polako

        8 days, 10 hours ago

        Karate Konate.

    2. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      8 days, 10 hours ago

      I wonder if Real is still interested in buying him... He's been really poor this season

      1. Ze_Austin
        • 7 Years
        8 days, 10 hours ago

        They wanted him for free if he ran down his contract

        Now it seems that interest has dissipated, last I heard (months ago)

        1. Bobby Digital
          • 8 Years
          8 days, 10 hours ago

          Yeah, makes sense.

    3. Bigbars
      • 15 Years
      8 days, 10 hours ago

      He gets away with so many careless pulls and tugs.

    4. Bigbars
      • 15 Years
      8 days, 10 hours ago

      I cant remember where, but I think I remember someone commenting that they blame VVD for always leaving Konate to pick up the pieces, that VVD seems to push players away from his own responsibility and Konate gets the blame more than VVD unfairly.. Or could be that players target Konate?

  7. JBG

    Liverpool should bring on Isa... oh wait nevermind

    Brighton counterattack has created so many shots.

    PSG could humiliate Slot.

    1. The Philosopher
      • 5 Years
      8 days, 9 hours ago

      *will

  10. JBG
    • 7 Years
    8 days, 9 hours ago

    Pool assets been as good for FPL managers as Slot has for Pool IRL

  11. Gudjohnsen
    • 9 Years

    Awful performance from LFC

    1. The Philosopher
      • 5 Years
      8 days, 9 hours ago

      Water is wet

  12. JBG
    • 7 Years
    8 days, 9 hours ago

    Should've been 3-1 just then

  13. Sailboats
    • 10 Years
    8 days, 9 hours ago

    What happened with Ekitike? So unfortunate

    1. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      8 days, 9 hours ago

      Could be a thigh bone bruise

    2. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      8 days, 9 hours ago

      Dead leg

  14. Mr. O'Connell

    Dubravka warming up for a masterclass feat. pen save from Wilson. Can feel it in my bones.

    1. The Philosopher
      • 5 Years
      8 days, 9 hours ago

      I have both Dubravka and Wilson. Not sure what to make of that.

  15. Bobby Digital
    • 8 Years
    8 days, 9 hours ago

    Wilson 1g 1a needed with a Dubravka penalty save

    1. threeputt
      • 16 Years
      8 days, 9 hours ago

      my sentiment exactly

    2. The Philosopher
      • 5 Years
      8 days, 9 hours ago

      Pen taken by Iwobi

  16. Sailboats
    • 10 Years
    8 days, 9 hours ago

    Wilson hat trick + Dubravka red card and own goal needed

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      8 days, 9 hours ago

      It'll probably happen tbf

  17. Ze_Austin
    • 7 Years
    8 days, 9 hours ago

    VvD DC!

    1. Sailboats
      • 10 Years
      8 days, 9 hours ago

      huge

    2. Qaiss
      • 10 Years
      8 days, 9 hours ago

      So him and Szoboszlai basically never properly blank because they tackle people

      1. The Philosopher

    3. Sun Jihai

      Huge this GW!

    4. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      8 days, 9 hours ago

      No fin way!!

      Overtakes Rayan as my top point scorer

  18. JBG
    • 7 Years
    8 days, 9 hours ago

    Brighton players actively trying not to score

    1. The Philosopher
      • 5 Years
      8 days, 9 hours ago

      Not looking to humiliate Liverpool further. Gentlemen.

  19. Qaiss
    • 10 Years
    8 days, 9 hours ago

    Virgil/liverpool have been poor this season, yet he’s scored more points than all strikers apart from Haaland, Thiago, Pedro and Bowen

    So I guess it’ll be 4-4-2 next season every week

    1. Qaiss
      • 10 Years
      8 days, 9 hours ago

      Unless, of course, Mark and the Towers do the right thing to remove DC’s…

      1. Nightcrawler
        • 6 Years
        8 days, 9 hours ago

        Def cons didnt make strikers so bad. Id argue all strikers other than the ones U mentioned have been worse than van dink so rightfully have fewer points

        1. Qaiss
          • 10 Years
          8 days, 9 hours ago

          Van Dijk has 26 more points than he would’ve normally had, because of DC’s. 26 points before the season is finished is a lot

          1. Nightcrawler
            • 6 Years
            8 days, 9 hours ago

            That's fine. Id say 3 goals , 9 clean sheets and lot of individual contributions warrant a better overall score than most of the crap strikers

            1. Nightcrawler
              • 6 Years
              8 days, 9 hours ago

              Last few seasons defenders doing well were getting outscored by strikers having average seasons. You're getting a better valuation this season

  20. Nightcrawler

    Brighton extremely tough to beat at their ground. I think title race was done the week arsenal won there

  21. Ze_Austin
    • 7 Years
    8 days, 9 hours ago

    This match has been a flag parade

    1. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      8 days, 9 hours ago

      *card parade, ffs

  22. Vazza
    • 5 Years

    Why the hell I went for maguire and not van heck I would never know

    1. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      8 days, 9 hours ago

      Bournemouth had scored once in 4 GWs

  23. nanxun

    FUL looking a half-step behind everything early doors.

  24. WVA
    • 9 Years

    Nooooooo Dubravkaaaaaa

  25. Capocannonieri

    Harry Wilson look nicked, off at 86 minutes but with long break, looks ok for GW 32

  26. gooberman

    Another Sanchez horror show. Baffles me how he gets picked. Worst keeper in the league.

  27. gooberman
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    8 days, 3 hours ago

    This Leeds Brentford game is absolutely dire.

  28. gooberman

    Can someone explain why Howe is playing Woltemade in midfield. Cannot get my head around it. Can't think of many worse positions on the pitch for him to play. Square peg in a round hole.
