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, 11 days ago

        He's absolute waste out wide imo
        Watching the match Today I didnt see him even with that hair until he got the yellow card
        Eriksen was subbed early and he'll play midweek
        Has a better fixture than Firmino
        Sureluly for free you'd do it right?

      100%. He misses his bum chum Coutinho too much to actually play well

      Bottomed
      A) Firmino to Eriksen
      B) Allen to Siggy

        • 10 Years

        Anyone?

      2. AndyCook
          9 years, 11 days ago

          1. AndyCook
              9 years, 11 days ago

              Erisken not worth the -4 in my opinion. He's not that great an option there's just not that many great options right now

            • 10 Years
            9 years, 11 days ago

            Firmino to alli
            Anichebe to Origi

            -4, here I come.

            1. Coaly

              Alli was completely anonymous today

              1. Worzel Gummidge
                  9 years, 11 days ago

                  Just like everyone in Spurs team who were playing Man U away.

                  1. Coaly
                    • 13 Years
                    9 years, 11 days ago

                    He's having a poor season

                    1. Worzel Gummidge
                        9 years, 11 days ago

                        Noticed you like Eriksen. He has scored the same amount of goals and assists but Eriksen is having a smashing season. Way to be subjective 🙂

                        1. Coaly
                          • 13 Years
                          9 years, 11 days ago

                          Eriksen has more points and is on set pieces

                          1. Worzel Gummidge
                              9 years, 11 days ago

                              Eriksen has played more minutes and he was on set pieces last season and Alli still outscored him. Good luck with Eriksen though.

                              1. Coaly
                                • 13 Years
                                9 years, 11 days ago

                                Alli was playing well last season ...

                              2. Coaly

                                9 years, 11 days ago

                                Eriksen significantly better rating for influence, creativity AND threat lol

                                1. Worzel Gummidge
                                    9 years, 10 days ago

                                    This literally means nothing. This game is about points!! This must be your first year

                          Just suffered a loss and 10 points behind the leaders...dont think they will opt to rotate

                        49 points - bang average. Maybe scrape a small green if lucky. Not long till the next GW at least 🙂

                        Folks, what's the best use of my transfers?

                        Firmino and Austin to

                        A) Alli/Eriksen and Carroll

                        B) Payet and Carroll

                        • 10 Years

                        That's why Liverpool have more chance of going to the moon than winning the PL. They are crap at defending , Chelsea aren't.

                        C) both for -4

                        Leicester fixtures are juicy. Anyone on Slimani?

                          9 years, 11 days ago

                          Think it best to wait one more week on Leicester, see if it's a false dawn. Then we can all panic when it looks like they are bang back on form.

                        Lallana or Antonio for Firmino to pay for Alonso?.. Canni make up me mind, I'd loathe to go without Liverpool coverage it scares me

                          I'd go lallana. Thinking of brining him in. It's not nice being without liverpool. I have been since Coutinho injury and suppose sort of got away it bar Mane.

                            Firmino, 3rd forward, Lovren

                              I'd speculate only one though. None of them are worth it on a hit. We'll see I guess...

                                I'd agree with this. Firmino gets one more game for me, Lovren isn't urgent.

                                Getting Austin out is though.

                        C. Firmino & Williams > Sanchez & Evans/Pieters (-4)

                          Austin is a permabench.
