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.

      DCL > Nacho / Digne > Castange is tempting

    Chances of a Mahrez start last gw you think?

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years

      No chance

    Pereira goal I see - joy for my rival. Season surely over now. Next year maybe.

    Hang on.

    Soucek scored an own goal.

    I put the kids to bed.

    And now it's at the other end? Lol.

    1. Limbo

      Next time put them to good use instead

  5. WVA

    The season could have been so simple

    Martinez
    TAA AWB Dallas
    Salah Bruno Son Pereira
    Kane Bamford Watkins

      thats the case every year

      This hurts a lot

    I’m officially throwing the towel on my ML. None of my players scored more than 3 points till now and instead of clawing back the 31 points deficit to my rival I’m losing more ground !

    I just need a miracle hat-trick or two goals from Salah or Antonio and something special from TAA to save me.

    Need a Tonio goal second half rival has Digne points.

    Soucek gets a touch for the Pereira goal? Commentators said because it was on target it goes down as a pereira goal but it was a cross not a shot?

  9. Salah’s Sonnet
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Well, that’s all hopes of ML and decent season finish over, can at least stop stressing now

    Pathetic salah

  14. Shark Team
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    I think I will don't give a f*** about clean sheets in gw38. I will not use any transfer on GK and defenders so I'll start Martinez and Dunk

    1. Shark Team
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Will not*

  15. BUZZBOMB

    What a lovely man Woy is. I wish him well.

    1. Paqueta Rice
      • 3 Years

      Agreed

  16. Salah’s Sonnet
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Salah. You really are useless

  17. Fudgy
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Salah will be even worse next season

    1. TorresMagic™

      Time is catching up with him.

    2. Muchentuchel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      He won't even be in the Prem next season

    3. WVA
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      He has been in regression for some time but the premiership ain't exactly blessed with much better

      1. JONALDINHO
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        4 seasons challenging for golden boot and people still say he’s regressing? He’s hardly going to score 30 in this Liverpool team

    4. Marvin Moon
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      He's scored 22 goals this season.

  19. JBG
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    These last few rounds have just been about trolling us players haven't they?

  20. Tasty Jerk
    • 11 Years

    Philips yes!!!!!

    1. JBG
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Great... Benched him for Dias. Gotta love it. Gundo g and Phillips g on my bench now.

  23. TomSaints

    Surely not a Philips goal.

    That just might win me my league...

    1. Oggle22
      • 7 Years

      And lose me mine!

  24. Roy Hudd

    Cheers Phil!!! Loverrrrrly points

  25. Paqueta Rice
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    This can’t be happening what a joke. My ML rival has Phillips and I have Trent. He has had absolutely everything go his way and now Phillips gets his first goal.

  26. JONALDINHO
    • 6 Years

    2-0 Liverpool with no Salah involvement. Am I dreaming?? Yessss

    1. grumpyman
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      Salah goal incoming.

  27. Ady87
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Philipps and Nacho 1st/2nd sub! Thought playing Dias and Stones was the right move.

  28. WVA
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    People getting Phillip's points lol what the hell

  29. Pat Bonner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Regulion assist added as well

    1. The Ilfordian
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Wow!

    2. WVA
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Deservedly so, why wasn't it given initially? He clearly headed it to Bergwein
