Jota starts as Torres, Sterling and Mahrez benched for Man City

In the final match of Gameweek 7, Liverpool host Manchester City in a mouth-watering clash at Anfield.  

Kick-off is at 16:30 BST.

As expected, Liverpool are without the injured Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.5m), along with midfielders Thiago (£5.3m) and Harvey Elliot (£5.4m).

James Milner (£4.9m) starts at right-back, with Diogo Jota (£7.6m) preferred to Roberto Firmino (£8.8m) up front.

For Man City, Ilkay Gundogan (£7.2m) and Oleksandr Zinchenko (£5.3m) both miss out.

Gabriel Jesus (£8.6m), Jack Grealish (£8.0m) and Phil Foden (£7.9m) all start, with Ferran Torres (£7.0m), Raheem Sterling (£10.7m) and Riyad Mahrez (£8.7m) on the bench.

    Ederson got sucked to the near post, shouldnt be scoring from that angle

    The technical brilliance of that goal is hard to overstate.

    Salah was definitely the right captain to go for this week. The guy is in electric form. Hindsight eh...

      It wasn't because you and not even the bookies expected him to get more points than Lukaku. So easy to look at his points against the best defence in the league and say oh yeah he was the best choice

    On -16 points this season because of yellow/red cards and it has only been 7 gameweeks

    Salah just broke whole ManCity at once.

    What’s Salah’s EO? I’ve got him but not cap. Should I be cheering or crying?

    Salah is so annoying. Literally just destroyed what has been a good week for me.

    Where is this Zambian witch doctor?…

    1. Ginkapo FPL
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I'm planning to permacap him!

      1. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        I’ll let you know if I find the witch doctor, then you might not want to!

    2. el polako

      Burned for witchcraft.

    3. gooberman

      How has he destroyed the week? Surely you have him? Even non captained, his points shouldn't make much difference to rank.

      1. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Don’t have him obviously

  24. Free Hat

    Salah here is the captains armband. Staple it on so it cant come off!

  26. TheTinman

    That was unreal

  27. Ady87
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    I said last week Salah was perma captain but didn’t do it. Don’t care who they’re playing and where he’s now got the armband indefinitely.

  28. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE

    Without doubt in the all-time PL XI, unbelievable player!

    1. Deulofail

      Nah, misses too many chances

  29. Dammit_182

    Oh salah. I promise I’ll never not captain you again.

  30. Gunneryank

    Jesus f***ing Christmas...Mo Salah, ladies and gentlemen.

    Why are we bothering with captaining other players again? Remind me.
