Dugout Discussion – Liverpool vs West Ham United

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

    Firmino 4 blanks in a row now and to be honest he wasn't at all as threatening as Mane/Origi today... He had a few chances in the first half but none in the second... He dropped deep often and defended well, which isn't good from FPL perspective. Mane/Origi were the threat in counter attacks unlike before when Firmino played as a striker and was a huge threat in counters... Seems like Firmino has dropped deeper without Coutinho in the team, and I for one am growing a bit frustrated... So owners, are you looking to sell?

      Considering I've already done Stones to Morgan and vowed to not take another hit, I would have probably downgraded him to Zaha.
