Key Liverpool assets in place as Aubameyang sits on Arsenal bench

Liverpool’s key assets are all set to face a much-rotated Arsenal side at the Emirates Stadium.

Mohamed Salah (£12.5m) and Sadio Mané (£12.2m) both retain their places from the draw with Burnley, each one boasting a vested interest in the Golden Boot race.

Their exploits on Wednesday evening could be pivotal to the outcome of Gameweek 36+ considering that their backing inside the top 10,000 FPL managers took a dip for the midweek round of action.

We know that many Free Hit managers overlooked the pair in favour of Chelsea and Manchester City counterparts, although those two clubs have largely struggled to completely fulfil their promise against Norwich and Bournemouth respectively.

Meanwhile, Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.7m) and Andrew Robertson (£7.0m) start a match together for the first time since Gameweek 33+ with Neco Williams (£4.0m) back on the Liverpool bench.

Those invested in the Liverpool full-backs, or either of the centre-halves, will be pleased to see who is sitting on the Arsenal one.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£10.9m) has lost his place this evening, named among the substitutes for the first time since the Premier League restarted.

In the striker’s place, Mikel Arteta has named Reiss Nelson (£ and Nicolas Pépé (£8.9m) either side of Alexandre Lacazette (£9.2m) in the front-three.

Arsenal XI: Martínez; Tierney, Holding, D Luiz, Cédric; Xhaka, Torreira, Saka; Nelson, Lacazette, Pépé.

Liverpool XI: Alisson; Robertson, van Dijk, Gomez, Alexander-Arnold; Fabinho, Wijnaldum, Oxlade-Chamberlain; Mané, Firmino, Salah.

    Mane and salah have stopped looking at each other let alone finding a pass for the other

      • 7 Years

    1. Cok3y5murf
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      More importantly, why do you own Alisson?

  12. Ci Siamo

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 10 Years

      He might be rested for the Fa cup final though.

      1. Amey

        1. RAFA THE GAFFA
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Haha true

    2. Pieterke30
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      He is really shite

    3. Fred54
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I've seen him win games coming on for Liverpool. Don't be a hater.

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Must have been some really crap teams

    4. Amey
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Filling up the average player quota

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        True

  14. Gentle_Turks
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Could really do with a attacking return from Alexander Arnold...

  15. KGFC
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    This game so far in nutshell:

    1. Pool not playing like champions
    2. Arsenal not playing like the home team

  16. TheDragon
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Now the dust has settled...

    ... how was Foden?

    Time to get rid?

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Very peripheral.

      Made one good chance for himself, straight at keeper.

      Hold but don’t buy, IMO.

    2. Pieterke30
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Stay away.

      I have him and Mahrez post FH36 and it feels like shite

    3. Greek Freak
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Not that involved, but had a couple of chances. Not regretting buying him as I think he'll start the next PL game too, but I am regretting putting the armband on him.
