Mane, Matip and Pogba benched as Man Utd host Liverpool in Gameweek 9

In the final match of Gameweek 9, Manchester United host Liverpool in a mouth-watering clash at Old Trafford.

Kick-off is at 16:30 BST.

Manchester United make three changes from Gameweek 8, with Marcus Rashford (£9.4m), Fred (£4.9m) and Scott McTominay (£5.4m) replacing Nemanja Matic (£4.5m), Paul Pogba (£7.6m) and Jadon Sancho (£9.0m).

Bruno Fernandes (£11.8m) also starts despite heading into the game as a doubt.

For Liverpool, Sadio Mane (£11.9m) drops to the bench with Joel Matip (£5.0m).

As a result, Diogo Jota (£7.5m) starts in attack alongside Mohamed Salah (£12.8m) and Roberto Firmino (£8.9m), while Ibrahima Konate (£5.1m) partners Virgil van Dijk (£6.6m) in defence.

Curtis Jones (£5.0m) is a substitute having missed the last two games with a groin injury, but Fabinho (£5.4m) and Thiago (£5.3m) miss out completely.

    I'm laughing but mount captainers still got more points from one player than my whole team

    After I have a good Saturday, I usually have a lousy Sunday. My 3 strikers did naff all this afternoon, but trust the dependable duo to bail me out. Cap permed on Salah until Africa calls.

    Jota -> Havertz(c) for -4 which meant I didn't captain Salah

    Probably the worst move I've ever made in FPL

    Feels like all 3 Liverpool goals have come from ruthless exploitation of united error as well

    I can't believe I sold Jota for Mbeumo. Very annoying.
    Anyone else sell him this week, make me feel a bit better?

    It’s embarrassing to watch United playing. No defensive work rate or plan as a unit

    Is Klopp playing Pep's tactics? I can see TAA in a midfield position when they have the ball.

    • 3 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Should be a red card for Ronaldo there.

    As usual United get let off.
