The 17:30 BST kick-off between Liverpool and Fulham rounds off the day’s Premier League action.

TEAM NEWS

All the notable team news concerns the hosts, as Arne Slot makes five changes to his side.

Remember that the Reds are in the middle of a double-header against Paris Saint-Germain, with the second leg of that tie to follow on Tuesday.

Hugo Ekitike‘s demotion to substitute duty is not a huge shock, nor is the benching of Joe Gomez. Slot said on Friday that Gomez was one of the players he was worried about, regarding the quick turnaround between games.

Alexis Mac Allister and Milos Kerkez also make way, while the biggest teamsheet surprise is the removal of Ryan Gravenberch from the starting XI. The Dutchman’s last Premier League benching came in May 2024.

Mohammed Salah benefits from the rotation and is back in his manager’s line-up after remaining unused in Paris.

Andrew Robertson, who will leave Liverpool at the end of the season, also returns to the side.

Slot hands Curtis Jones, Cody Gakpo and Rio Ngumoha starts, too.

Fulham’s team news is much less eventful.

The Cottagers are unchanged from the team that beat Burnley three weeks ago, with Rodrigo Muniz again getting the nod over Raul Jimenez.

LINE-UPS

Liverpool XI: Mamardashvili, Frimpong, Konate, van Dijk, Robertson, Szoboszlai, Jones, Salah, Wirtz, Ngumoha, Gakpo.

Subs: Woodman, Gomez, Kerkez, Isak, Mac Allister, Chiesa, Ekitike, Gravenberch, Nyoni.

Fulham XI: Leno, Castagne, Andersen, Bassey, Robinson, Iwobi, Berge, Wilson, King, Bobb, Rodrigo Muniz.

Subs: Lecomte, Jimenez, Cairney, Cuenca, Chukwueze, Lukic, Sessegnon, Diop, Smith Rowe.

    Non WC'ers still ahead despite the Brighton CS? I'd be on a 7 point red arrow if I didn't keep Thiago on mine.

      I am a WC-er and am still well ahead, thanks to mixing doublers and singlers 😛 and luck …

        smart

    2. GENERATION X
      • 12 Years
      7 days, 19 hours ago

      You needed a non WC forward line and a WC back line

  2. WVA

    Brighton and Bournemouth two of the most inform teams, can’t argue with bench boosting their players!

    KDH!!! Makes up for not having wc32/Brighton defence.

    1. Utopsis
      • 6 Years
      7 days, 18 hours ago

      I benched him, 50/50 call between him and Wilson 🙁

      1. BobbyDoesNotLook

        Sorry to hear mate :/

        1. Utopsis
          • 6 Years
          7 days, 16 hours ago

          Congrats to you though, well played

    GW33

    a. Gabriel

    Virgil and Ekitike owner. Andersen coming on for Timber.

    0-0 please

    Not on WC, and very happy so far with Bowen and Thiago points.

    But very nervous about next week.

    In 2 minds whether to FH to get 11 doublers that every WC manager will have (feels a bit pointless as I'm guaranteed to lose ground), or just BB with the team I have (just 5 doublers)

    Dubravka Roefs
    Hill Virgil Tarkowski Thiaw Gabriel
    Semenyo Palmer Bruno Dango Anderson
    Haaland Thiago Bowen

    I'm 30 points behind rivals who have used WC and will BB. So I guess I'm goosed either way?

    1. Bluetiger1
      • 3 Years
      7 days, 19 hours ago

      GW33 BB with the team I have (just 5 doublers)
      GW34 FH

    2. GENERATION X
      • 12 Years
      7 days, 19 hours ago

      Like me you just have to pick the best 11 doublers and accept the losses. I feel my earlier WC more than made up for holding it

    3. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      7 days, 19 hours ago

      Similar situation. 40 points behind. ML leader used WC and will BB. I'm on 9 DGWers only including Dub (meh).

      Think we should just go damage limitation, FH34 and BB36, hoping for a miraculous break to give it a good chase

      1. The-Red-1
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 days, 18 hours ago

        9 might be alright if you have a decent bench to use BB

  7. Il Capitano
    • 5 Years
    7 days, 19 hours ago

    Oh dear, only had Dango in the 3pms

  8. GENERATION X
    • 12 Years
    7 days, 19 hours ago

    I must be one of a small number on BB this week. Need the Fulham boys to chip in today

    1. Sgt. Schultz
      • 9 Years
      7 days, 19 hours ago

      Andersen - Wilson?

      1. GENERATION X
        • 12 Years
        7 days, 19 hours ago

        Yeah and VVD in this

  9. Fifa las vegas
    • 13 Years
    7 days, 19 hours ago

    Ekitike > Welbeck and then benching KDH yesterday evening really paid off, as per usual

  10. Fifa las vegas
    • 13 Years
    7 days, 19 hours ago

    Would you BB Kelleher, KDH, Gabriel and Mukiele next Gw or TC Haaland (or Semenyo)?

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      7 days, 19 hours ago

      TC Haaland

      1. Fifa las vegas
        • 13 Years

        Thanks

  11. Bobby Digital
    • 8 Years
    7 days, 19 hours ago

    Let's go Wilson!

  12. NABIL - FPL otai
    • 13 Years
    7 days, 19 hours ago

    Andersen to van Hecke worth -4? No Brighton at all

  13. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    Need something from Szoboszlai and VVD

  14. RICICLE
    • 3 Years
    7 days, 19 hours ago

    Someone please refresh my memory, when play FH, we do not gain a free transfer do we?

    Thanks

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      7 days, 19 hours ago

      Yep

      1. RICICLE
        • 3 Years

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      7 days, 19 hours ago

    Deliberated on which 2 of these 3 to sell for City next week, so thought I’d wait a week to help and of course all 3 score 😆

    Thiago
    El Kroupi
    Dewsbury-Haul

    Liverpool without Salah next season
    Wilson a possible replacement ?
    He's not at Salah's level but out of contract at the end of the season
    Would allow for funds to be spent elsewhere in defence maybe

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      7 days, 18 hours ago

      Need someone like Olise

      1. x.jim.x
        • 11 Years
        7 days, 18 hours ago

        This just reminded me of when they were convinced they were signing Mbappe lmao

    2. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 days, 18 hours ago

      They seem to like buying from the Bundesliga so Diomande would fit their profile

    3. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      7 days, 18 hours ago

      Maybe the one who’s just scored?

    4. x.jim.x

    You won't believe this peeps, but I sold Wirtz for Semenyo this week...and he not only plays but also gets an assist!

    1. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      7 days, 18 hours ago

          • 9 Years
          7 days, 18 hours ago
