Champions League-chasing Liverpool up against Norris as injured Pope misses out

The final two matches of Gameweek 37 kick off concurrently at 20:15 BST this evening.

Liverpool are the main draw from a Fantasy perspective, with the most-captained player of this Gameweek set to face Burnley’s third-choice goalkeeper.

With Diogo Jota (£6.9m) injured, Mohamed Salah (£12.8m) and his two usual compadres in the Reds’ attack start as expected this evening.

Jurgen Klopp has made just the one change from the last-gasp win at West Brom, with Curtis Jones (£4.4m) replaced by Georginio Wijnaldum (£5.3m).

Sean Dyche has made two tweaks to the side that lost 4-0 at home to Leeds United.

There’s a surprise between the posts, with Will Norris (£4.0m), not Bailey Peacock-Farrell (£4.0m), lining up in Nick Pope‘s (£5.5m) absence.

Norris’s only previous appearances in the Premier League came back in the 2018/19 season as a late substitute for Wolves.

The other change sees winger Johann Berg Gudmundsson (£5.4m) replace forward Matej Vydra (£4.8m), with Dyche seemingly adopting similar tactics to the ones he used against Manchester United.

There was originally just one change apiece at the Hawthorns, meanwhile.

Ainsley Maitland-Niles (£4.6m) comes in for Grady Diangana (£5.0m) for the hosts, while Said Benrahma (£5.9m) replaces Jarrod Bowen (£5.9m) for the Hammers.

But there is a late change to the West Ham line-up as Darren Randolph (£4.3m) is in for the injured Lukasz Fabianski (£5.0m) between the posts.

    Rice & Lingard are idiots with big egos

    Why don’t West Ham let Lord Soucek take pens - he’s an actual penalty taker with a great record at them

    1. Paqueta Rice
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      What did Lingard do?

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Missed a penalty...

        1. Paqueta Rice
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          Rice did

          1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
            • 14 Years
            2 years, 10 months ago

            Just like Lingard did in GW27...

      Exactly because of the reason you state. The egos of Rice, Lingard, Fornals, Lanzini etc. You name them and they all lack the humility to recognise they ain't that good at penalties.

      Eastern Europeans are here to do the dirty work, glory is for others.

  13. Limbo
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Likelyhood of Ward getting the winner?

  14. Dog and Fox

    To bad the season is almost over or the golden boot race would have been between Benteke and Willock!!!
