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

          • 11 Years
          9 years, 10 days ago

          not trolling, just think City will destroy Watford and i see little chance of Nacho being benched

  7. F4L
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 10 days ago

    That should have been a pen

  8. The Albatross
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 10 days ago

    1. Jimmers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 10 days ago

    2. sillyhilly69
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 10 days ago

      Dunno but it brings Holebas off the bench

    3. EmreCan Hustle
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 10 days ago

      Cedric and Bertrand both rested I think.

    A) Firmino to Payet

    1. MarvelouSuccess
      • 13 Years

    3. The Overthinker
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 10 days ago

      Firmino to payet.
      Westham have some good fixtures, payet is their main man.

    4. EmreCan Hustle

  13. tm245
    • 14 Years

    Think that YC for Mane sent me out of the FFS Cup.

    1. fedolefan
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 10 days ago

      That yellow has cost me at least 4 points.

    2. Rossamous
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 10 days ago

      Don't know he doesn't get bonus with a great performance and two assists and Origi gets three. Broken system

      1. tm245
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 10 days ago

        Opponent had Origi, so the baps swing it for him.

  14. Slam
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 10 days ago

    What has Payet done to warrant a transfer in?

    1. The Overthinker
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 10 days ago

      Fixtures + return of Carroll .
      And shipping him out for clueless firmino looks the best move

  15. Licky
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 10 days ago

    That was poor.

  16. Bleach †
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 10 days ago

    Might be biased a little as a Kelechi owner, but Pep should really start him vs Watford. He's young, he needs confidence and trust, as most of the time he's in Agüeros shadow. Now the latter is banned, I think he's done enough to get some gametime, 60min vs Leicester shouldn't be the reason to bench him as he didn't really get any chances with every teammate of his having a horrible horrible game.

    But just my .02

    1. jmcclory123
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 10 days ago

      Pep seems the unforgiving kind, I wouldn't count on him starting

      1. Bleach †
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 10 days ago

        Im not tbh 😀 But if I'd be Kelechi, I'd be thinking maybe it's time for a transfer? I mean most of the season he starts from the bench anyway, now the main striker is suspended and your coach still doesn't trust you.

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

      I agree with this. I think he'll play

      1. Bleach †
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 10 days ago

        Im thinking KDB False 9..

  17. Mark-O
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 10 days ago

    Liverpool made one substitution only

    The bench is too weak

  18. Backup Dancer
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 10 days ago

    Mustafi to Alonso or VVD to save funds for King Kun

  19. borat
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 10 days ago

    Kosc, alen, defoe ->vertongen, lalana, origi for -8. Team would be
    Grant
    alonso vert holebas
    sanchez hazard mane lalana

  21. _Freddo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years

    So all in all, Captain Sanchez didn't turn out that badly.

    1. FPL Maldini
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 10 days ago

      But Costa better 😉

    2. Sif
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 10 days ago

      This.
      Siggy was much more of a punt than hindsight implies when you consider the big hitters & teams on offer.

  22. It’s gonna Ben Mee

    Gotta love the PL! Nothing is ever settled in advance and all the teams can beat each other.

  25. Sims

    Bilics away record must be very good against big sides

  26. FPL Maldini
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 10 days ago

    Did Payet play well enough today to bring him in?

  27. willl
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 10 days ago

    Redmond to Antonio for at least the next three a good move?

    Fixtures are perfect and could be playing up front.

    1. The Overthinker
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 10 days ago

      Go for it .

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

    If fa had any consistency mane would see a ban

    1. The Overthinker
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 10 days ago

      Fa only bans mourinho and anyone associated with him

      1. willl
        • 10 Years

      • 13 Years

      When are these things decided..i mean by which day of the week ?

    3. Licious Lizard
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 10 days ago

      Agreed.

      But as I recall it depends on whether the ref saw it.

      If he saw it and didn't deem it as serious, then they can't ban him retrospectively can they?

  29. Hurricane Gilbert
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 10 days ago

    Top priority for transfer out?

    A) Firmino
    B) Lovren
    C) Nacho

  30. Arteta
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 10 days ago

    Bonus Points System (at the moment)

    Origi, Payet (34)
    Lallana, Mané (30)

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

      In this scenario do Lallana and Mane get 2 each or 1 each?

      1. FALCAO & MOU
