The final match of Gameweek 15 sees Liverpool welcome West Ham United to Anfield in the 4.30pm kick-off.

Both Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino are highly fancied against a Hammers defence that shipped five at home to Arsenal last weekend.

Mane has served up points in five of his six home outings, whilst Firmino will be looking to banish a three-match barren run and return to the form that has already seen him register 15 points in front of his own supporters on two occasions.

Divock Origi looks to score for the fourth successive match in all competitions to strengthen his claim as a mid-price festive frontman.

West Ham, meanwhile, have home encounters with Burnley and Hull followed by a trip to Swansea in the upcoming three Gameweeks.

We’ll be looking for signs of form from Dimitri Payet and the fit-again Michail Antonio, then, while big Andy Carroll is named amongst the subs against his former club, having emerged from the bench to net the Hammers’ consolation against Arsenal last time out.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    No way any keeper could save that

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

      Lol

    2. Sjaugen

      Payet superman

    3. Somalion

      9 years, 10 days ago

      Well, if Karius got his hand to it it's safe to say some GK probably could have saved it.

      Don't actually blame him here though, very tricky free.

      1. Wilshere Knowledge
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 10 days ago

        Would help if his wrists weren't made of twiglets.

    4. dark91
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 10 days ago

      Whaaaaat, it is not even in the far corner !!
      The most recent example i can recall now is Navas saving that freekick against BVB a couple of days ago

    5. SuperDan
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 10 days ago

      Courtois saves that

    6. walkman666
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 10 days ago

      Agree. Awesome shot curling down and away sharply. Although Karius seemed to be over compensating to one side of goal positionally.

    7. Pariße
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 10 days ago

      He got a hand on it, a better keeper could've saved it. That being said, I think the wall was at fault this time.

      1. JayBomb
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 10 days ago

        Not the GK fault if the wall had of done there job he wouldn't of scored

        1. Pariße
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 10 days ago

          That's what I said, but a better keepr would've saved it.

  2. walkman666

    Gorgeous pool passing there

  3. George Costanza
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 10 days ago

    1. Will Iheanacho get benched?

    2. Was Kane really so bad to make people reconsder captaining him v Hull?

    3. Firmino to Eriksen or Alli (or someone else)?

    1. itwaswritten
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 10 days ago

      1. No.

      2. Kane could pull a Ibra and do good with worser teams. Maybe go for someone who is more #safe.

      3. Firmino might be bad but he is still better than those two.

      xox

    2. Ravager

      Find out on the next episode of Dragon Ball Z...

      1. Don't know

      2. He was invisible.

      3. I'd probably do Eriksen in those choices.

    3. NATSTER
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 10 days ago

      1. Hard to tell, but possible.
      2. Based on today performance, yes, he was poor.
      3. Still Eriksen for me.

      1. George Costanza
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 10 days ago

        Cheers all. I'm thinking Eriksen too and hold fire on booting out Nacho. Since Firmino has been booted out wide, to quote Tiger Woods, he's playing like a sp*z.

  4. Winks Club
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 10 days ago

    Milner or Lallana on pens?

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 10 days ago

      Milner

    2. Sjaugen
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 10 days ago

      Milner, then Henderson

    3. Winks Club
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 10 days ago

      Thanks!

  5. IL Fantasista
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 10 days ago

    If both Firmino and Origi don't deliver today, this will be a disgrace.
    A f***in disgrace.
    Drogba's words, not mine.

    1. Stupendous
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 10 days ago

      Neither look like doing anything and I have them both!

      1. George Costanza
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 10 days ago

        Firmino's twin brother kidnapped him and took his place, the disappearance of the manbun is surely proof!

  6. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 10 days ago

    One of the best free kicks I have ever seen

    Unsaveable. Wow just wow. Payet the genius.

    1. JÆKS ⭐
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 10 days ago

      Sarcasm right?

      1. Forza
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 10 days ago

        Bemba would never seriously post anything positive.

        1. JÆKS ⭐
          • 11 Years

          😀

    2. Flynny
      • 10 Years

      U joking?

      Looked like keeper error to me..

    3. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 11 Years

      Sarcasm just in case anyone haven't seen it

    4. itwaswritten

      OMG TRU

  7. Rolls-Royce
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 10 days ago

    Who to replace Mustafi with?

    A. Toby
    B. Alonso

    1. Professor Abel X
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 10 days ago

      B

  8. Professor Abel X
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 10 days ago

    Firmino to Payet I think. Firmino not convincing me at all, just doesn't look involved

    1. Karan_G14
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 10 days ago

      Me too.

    2. Somalion
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 10 days ago

      Early in the match yet, but I very much so regret buying him.

      1. Professor Abel X
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 10 days ago

        I know it's early in the game, have watched a fair bit of Liverpool and he rarely convinces me

        1. Somalion
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 10 days ago

          Oh yeah I frequently criticise him. Just assumed he'd still get some attacking returns.

          1. Professor Abel X
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 10 days ago

            Hope so! Might still get rid even so!

            1. Somalion
              • 15 Years
              9 years, 10 days ago

              I may well join you tbh.

    3. SuperDan
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 10 days ago

      Was going to go with Eriksen myself but Payet may have just made this difficult lol

      1. Professor Abel X
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 10 days ago

        Mane Eriksen and Payet are the options. Going to West Ham v Burnley on Weds so makes it a bit more interesting to have a player involved!

    4. JÆKS ⭐
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 10 days ago

      Yea indeed, this has been the problem since Coutinho was injured....

  9. Red Star Toro

    Mkhi -> Payet for -12?

    When did Liverpool sign Bravo?

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      They wish they had Bravo. Would be a massive upgrade.

    Any Saints fans out here?

    Cech owners, What are you doing? Keeping or selling!

    1. JÆKS ⭐
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 10 days ago

      Sold a few games ago, they just always concede it seems

    2. itwaswritten
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 10 days ago

      If you want a clean sheet from a goalkeeper then get Courtois.

  20. JayBomb
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 10 days ago

    Hammers need Carol on the pitch with Creswell and Payet swinging in crosses he could do serious damage

  21. Stats Don\'t Lie
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 10 days ago

    Awful goalkeeping by Karius on that fk

  22. AzzaroMax99
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 10 days ago

    IDB 2.7, 2FT

    Heaton, Jak
    Walker, Fonte, Alonso, McAuley, Amat
    Sanchez, Firm, Moses, Fer, Fletcher
    Costa, Kane, Negredo

    a) Moses to Gylfi and Negredo to Origi
    or
    b) Moses to Eriksen and Negredo to Anichebe

  23. camarozz
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 10 days ago

    Early days I know but if u could afford Mane would you swap firmino for him??

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 10 days ago

      Not with ACON incoming.

    2. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 10 days ago

      Looks like Mane is the Liverpool mid to have

    3. Knowledgeable meerkat
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 10 days ago

      I've given up trying to decipher this Liverpool midfield

      God knows

  24. Kaneyonero
    • 9 Years

    Origi is too awkward

    Sanchez Hazard Firmino Sigurdsson Capoue
    Costa Kane Austin**

    1FT, 0,3 ITB
    Feel I lack chelsea def here, so:

    A) Austin, Pieters -> Diomande, Alonso -4, rotate between Capoue/dio/4th def.
    B) Austin -> Origi?
    C) Other?
