Liverpool at full strength but Martial, Trippier and Richarlison fail to start

Six Premier League matches take place at 15:00 GMT today and there was mixed news for Fantasy owners upon the release of the teamsheets an hour before kick-off.

The good news for those FPL managers backing Liverpool’s most-owned assets is that Jurgen Klopp has named perhaps the strongest side available to him, with Xherdan Shaqiri joining Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino in a 4-2-3-1 for the for the visit of Newcastle United.

Trent Alexander-Arnold returns from injury to start, while Andrew Robertson and Virgil van Dijk also make Klopp’s starting XI.

The 11.7% of Fantasy managers who own Anthony Martial were left disappointed, however, as the Frenchman misses out on the visit of Huddersfield Town through illness.

Paul Pogba, Jesse Lingard and Marcus Rashford all start, however.

Richarlison drops to the bench for the first time this season as Marco Silva deploys a wing-back system for the trip to Turf Moor, though Lucas Digne keeps his place.

Raheem Sterling and Leroy Sane line up either side of Sergio Aguero for Manchester City as Riyad Mahrez once again has to make do with a place among the substitutes, while there is a start for Kevin De Bruyne in central midfield.

Kyle Walker drops to the bench as Danilo starts at right-back, while Leicester City are unchanged.

Harry Kane, Son Heung-min and Christian Eriksen all start for Spurs at Wembley, meanwhile, though Dele Alli fails to recover from a hamstring injury and Kieran Trippier is rotated to the bench.

Ryan Fraser returns to the Bournemouth starting XI as Josh King makes way.

Rafael Benitez and Neil Warnock have made six and five changes to their sides respectively, with Salomon Rondon and Callum Paterson among the casualties.

Jeffrey Schlupp drops out of the Crystal Palace XI as Cheikhou Kouyate returns.

Sean Dyche sticks with a 5-3-2 for the visit of Everton, while David Wagner has made three changes to his team for the trip to Old Trafford.

Burnley XI: Hart, Lowton, Gibson, Tarkowski, Mee, Taylor, Westwood, Cork, Hendrick, Barnes, Vokes.

Everton XI: Pickford, Keane, Zouma, Mina, Coleman, Gomes, Sigurdsson, Digne, Walcott, Calvert-Lewin, Bernard.

Crystal Palace XI: Guaita, Wan-Bissaka, Tomkins, Sakho, Van Aanholt, Milivojevic, Meyer, McArthur, Kouyaté, Zaha, Townsend.

    Eriksen is the dark horse. Playing really well

    1. InSaneMan-e
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Ha. Exactly what I was saying below

  23. MiLK2018
    • 6 Years

    Kane get in!!

  24. InSaneMan-e
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Son and kane have had the hype but Eriksen seems to have gone under the radar a bit

    1. GAMBIT
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Brought him in for a hit and got the C on him 🙂

      1. InSaneMan-e
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Well played. You deserve everything you get this gw

    2. Srv210
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Eriksen is like always ticking but is not explosive that may be the reason

      1. InSaneMan-e
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Yep. Not someone I'd captain but his return is decent.

  25. Limited & Mediocre Mana…

  26. Scholsey

    Oh Kane! Love❤️

  27. DantheManinaPan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Kane yes

  28. Sancidino
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Are we expecting a Salah ban?

    1. Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Nah

    2. InSaneMan-e
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Don't think so
      He conned the ref by going down so easily but looking at it there is some contact. Not good to watch but I can't see a ban

  29. QueefParkRangers
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Can someone watching the City game.. give details on wtf is going on

    1. Barbarians
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Leister are defending well. ManC always getting into thw box without good final strike. Sterling non existent. Sane works like a horse. Kun is covered. Kdb gets more dangerous.

    RIP Kane goal, Im quitting this season 🙁
