3pm kick-off team news: Jota and Robertson return to Liverpool XI

There are three Premier League matches getting underway at the traditional 3pm kick-off time, including Liverpool v Southampton.

There are no surprises in the Reds’ line-up, with Diogo Jota and Andrew Robertson both returning to the starting XI following midweek benchings. Robertson has not started a match since limping off with a hamstring injury in Scotland’s win over Denmark, while Jota took a knock to the knee in Gameweek 12 and was unused on Wednesday night.

Jordan Henderson, Virgil van Dijk, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Fabinho are also recalled after breathers in the Champions League, with Jurgen Klopp pretty much going full strength based on the players currently at his disposal.

Ralph Hasenhuttl has sprung a tactical surprise, seemingly switching to a wing-back system for the trip to Anfield. Lyanco, Romain Perraud and Armando Broja are brought into the side, with Ibrahima Diallo, Moi Elyounoussi and Kyle Walker-Peters dropping out. Tino Livramento keeps up his ever-present record.

The other two matches this afternoon are Norwich City v Wolverhampton Wanderers and Crystal Palace v Aston Villa.

It’s just one change apiece at Carrow Road, with Josh Sargent replacing the benched Todd Cantwell for the Canaries and Francisco Trincao coming in for the absent Daniel Podence for the visitors.

Like Wolves, Crystal Palace are missing a player we thought was available; Joachim Andersen isn’t part of the squad and is replaced by James Tomkins at centre-half. Michael Olise is also in for Jordan Ayew further forward.

Steven Gerrard’s two changes are in attack, with Emiliano Buendia and Danny Ings replaced by Ashley Young and Leon Bailey.

      This. When did you WC? I wanted ramsdale but he wasn't nailed at the time

        GW 9, I just decided to go White instead and not double up. Bad decision

    It will be a Jota goal, rival owns I don't
    All my differentials blank, all his score
    -1 for Gallagher already to go with Wilson ESR blanks

        The 'woe is me' routine every Saturday is a little wearing isn't it. Genuinely, consider taking the rest of the season off FPL, it's only a game.

      Finally. The scientific answer we were all desperate for

  21. Gandalf

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      He doesn't do hauls, few big misses to come.

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Should have had more last week too. Any more returns will do me just fine

  22. Nate(U)dog(ie)
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    I should have known this'll be a rough week after taking a hit to injure Chilwell for probably the season but definitely feel like this is going to be my worst yet.

  23. KEN YA DIG IT
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Should I transfer in Ramsdale now or after the united game?

    1. jason_ni
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      I mean it depends on your keeper, and the rest of your team.

  24. NABIL - FPL otai
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Ings, El Ghazi not playing.

    I believe Guaita will save a PK for me.

    1. KEN YA DIG IT
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      It's the hope that kills you

  25. Rainer

    Salah playing awful.

    Time to cash out!

    1. JBG
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      I agree, everyone should sell him immediately.

    2. Ginkapo FPL
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      It was Targett who scored not Cash

  26. Zilla
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Thought it would be a Salah goal no doubt, weird one.

    1. OPTA FPL
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      I think because jotA hilarious celebration

  27. g40steve

  28. Cali
