Dugout Discussion – Liverpool vs Stoke City

Gameweek 18 rolls on this evening as Liverpool welcome Stoke to Anfield in a 5.15pm kick-off.

Owned by over 21% of Fantasy Premier League managers, Sadio Mane’s home form suggests he’s the man most likely to wreak havoc against the Potters – the Senegal international has scored or assisted in six of seven Anfield appearances since arriving from Southampton over the summer.

Divock Origi, with goals in all but one of the last five Gameweeks, retains his starting berth, with Jurgen Klopp set to unleash Daniel Sturridge from the bench once again.

Roberto Firmino also keeps his place as he attempts to end a run of six straight blanks.

For the Potters, Joe Allen is the form player – he’s bagged a goal and assist in the last three Gameweeks as he prepares to face his former club for the first time since moving to the bet365.

Between the posts, Lee Grant has produced at least one save point in each of the last four and should be kept busy again as the hosts look for the win that would see them leapfrog Man City into second.

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

      Coutinho injury lost us some momentum. Once he's back our form player Mane leaves us.

        Really do you know how many players are playing that has breached these laws = most players!! the Plymouth captain killed two kids drink driving!! I think the FA should give them an automatic ban and the Plymouth captain shouldnt of returned from prison never mind captaining a football team again

          Completely agree with you.

          He should never be allowed to be a professional footballer again. Him being a captain is just a complete joke and that club should be ashamed of themselves.

            You wouldn't probably be put off your work for that either. Your boss (and colleagues) might let you feel some shame (and possibly some support, accidentally killing kids may feel quite horrible), but eventually they would let the judiciary to do its thing and you keep on working until that and after it as well if you'd stay free. Unless you're also drunk at work in which case they would seize the moment and kick your drunken ass off the workplace.
