Dugout Discussion – Liverpool vs West Ham United

11 December 2016 3338 comments

Paul

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.

  I've got Firmino so leaning towards Antonio atm, but might move Firmino on too.. Which leaves me with no Liverpool attack and that isn't ideal

Which option is better?

Is there really any reason I shouldn't keep Benteke through this bad patch of fixtures? Promising after, and there's no one besides risky picks elsewhere at his price, a la Origi, Carroll, Nacho, Llorente, etc.
