In the final match of Gameweek 11, West Ham United host Liverpool at the London Stadium.

Kick-off is at 16:30 BST.

West Ham are unchanged from the XI that beat Aston Villa 4-1 in Gameweek 10.

That means another start for budget defender Ben Johnson (£3.9m) at right-back, with Vladimir Coufal (£4.8m) again having to settle for a place on the bench.

Further forward, Jarrod Bowen (£6.3m), Said Benrahma (£6.4m) and Pablo Fornals (£6.0m) feature in David Moyes’ 4-2-3-1 formation, behind lone forward Michail Antonio (£8.2m).

As for Liverpool, Jurgen Klopp makes four changes from last weekend, with Joel Matip (£5.0m), Fabinho (£5.4m), Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain (£5.8m) and Diogo Jota (£7.5m) replacing Ibrahima Konate (£5.1m), Naby Keita (£5.0m), Curtis Jones (£5.0m) and Roberto Firmino (£8.9m).

GAMEWEEK 11 LINE-UPS

West Ham XI: Fabianski, Johnson, Zouma, Ogbonna, Cresswell, Soucek, Rice, Bowen, Fornals, Benrahma, Antonio

Subs: Areola, Dawson, Coufal, Diop, Masuaku, Fredericks, Kral, Noble, Lanzini

Liverpool XI: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Van Dijk, Robertson, Fabinho, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Henderson, Salah, Mane, Jota

    I got Salah (c), Jota and Antonio

    Only threat was TAA - so that goal removes a bunch of stress that at least he shouldn’t mega-haul.

    And I’m a WH fan. So great a 10 minutes!

            They do. Read the point scoring system. ESR got BPS points for scoring a goal and he got BPS for the game winning goal.

            It's the rest of his performance that didn't bump him up.

            Goalscorers already get rewarded for scoring goals. Whole point of the BPS system is that it rewards all aspects of play. Pretty unusual for the only goalscorer to not get any bonus points still but it’s as good a system as you’ll get.

      Their fixtures always suggested that would happen. The first three games were always going to be defeats. From then on, six wins and two draws was about par but they won the two games you would have put as draws.

    Gallagher and ESR are great enablers. It's a shame the pricey assets they enable are absolute dog poo at the moment.

      Look at the other way around the premiums are the enabler for picking Gallagher and ESR 😛

      Don’t forget Raphina as well. Ticking along nicely this season, and probably would have more were it not for IB’s & Leeds injuries

    I have Sanchez and non-playing 4.0 GK. Would you:

    A) Sanchez to Guaita/Ramsdale/McCarthy
    B) 4.0 GK to Foster
    C) Leave it and accept 0pts

      I’m in the same position. Head says accept the 0 points but might make a transfer. But don’t want to get rid of Sanchez so thinking D 4.0 to Guaita. Just checking fixtures to see if I’d want to alternate in coming weeks

        Yeah, I'm just worried I'm gonna be 0.1-0.5 short of a transfer soon and then annoyed that I put extra money to GKs.

          Yes, I agree. Hate alternating goalies and having penalty save points on the bench. Think I’m going to follow advice of the responses to your question and live with the zero points. With the rubbish points I’ve been getting , zero is only a couple of points behind half my players most weeks

          Exactly. Don't go there. It's another wasted transfer to free the money up. Take the zero and move on.

      Do you have a better transfer in mind? Opting for 0 points when you have a choice sounds weird to me.

      If you have the money I would replace the 4.0 GK with a 4.5 who will play. Two points better than nothing and you won't need to waste a transfer getting him out.

      Maybe Foster or Steffen if Ederson won't be back in time.

    78 points on bench over last 3 weeks, must be some sort of record. Anybody else in a similar situation or can recollect having such a horrendous run of misfortune, maybe I could have chosen better but some of the results in recent weeks have just gone against form, the Chelsea v Palace just being one example….

      Nope. Saka has been unlucky. No goal from his corners and offside goal today because of the keeper "playing high line".
