Son on the bench at Anfield for Spurs’ first Gameweek 32 match

Sunday’s second Premier League match sees Liverpool take on Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield. Kick-off on Merseyside is at 16:30 BST.

The Reds only have one fixture in Gameweek 32 but this is the first of two games for Spurs in this round of matches, with Crystal Palace the visitors to north London in midweek.

Son Heung-min is the highest-profile absentee from Mauricio Pochettino’s starting XI, with the South Korea international only among the substitutes.

Lucas Moura starts alongside Harry Kane instead, with Dele Alli and Christian Eriksen also included in the visitors’ line-up.

Pochettino appears to be adopting a three-man central defence, with Kieran Trippier and Danny Rose deployed as wing-backs.

Trent Alexander-Arnold has recovered from a back injury to take his place at right-back and there are few surprises in Jurgen Klopp’s starting XI, save for perhaps Fabinho‘s benching.

James Milner – who is widely accepted to be Liverpool’s first-choice penalty taker ahead of Mohamed Salah – starts in central midfield instead.

Salah, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino make up a familiar-looking front three, while Andrew Robertson, Alisson and Virgil van Dijk are predictable starters in the hosts’ backline.

Mane has only blanked twice in the last nine Gameweeks and was the third-most-bought midfielder of Gameweek 32, despite only having one fixture.

Salah, who comes into this match off the back of a two-week rest over the international break, was sold by well over half a million FPL bosses ahead of Saturday’s deadline.

Liverpool XI (4-3-3): Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Van Dijk, Robertson, Henderson, Wijnaldum, Milner, Mane, Salah, Firmino.

Spurs XI (3-4-1-2): Lloris, Alderweireld, Sanchez, Vertonghen, Trippier, Sissoko, Eriksen, Rose, Dele, Lucas, Kane.

    80 points + Son. 15 players still to go. Hoping to crack the top 1k before the end of the gameweek. 1500 rank at the moment.

        Thanks. It feels like a season of what could have been though. I really have thrown a lot of points away. Not owning Salah vs Bournemouth still haunts me for example.

        Thanks. I would like to finish top 1k. Winning the Times Newspaper League is a realistic target (currently 5th). I would feature in the paper, win prizes etc. But I have the disadvantage that I need to wildcard next week

    my pre fh team doing better....

    1. Demel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 25 days ago

      That is how I felt last week when I played mine.

  4. The-Red-1

    Beginning to think I shouldn't have bothered using my FH. My original team doing much better, typical!

    Ederson is better than Alisson imo.

  6. fr3d
    • 6 Years

    Yup, Jesus Perez needs to do something here. Son on would be my advice

  7. tm245

    Alisson and VVD again

      1. Licky
        • 11 Years

        Even when he's not playing well he's still so important, he never stops.
