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.

    I was 77/78 players in the FanTeam High Roller after week 1.

    I'm now in 20th place, less than 20 points behind making the money which is 14th place. Never give up!

    Still a long way to go this season.

      How much does 14th get?

      I've never looked at fan team at all, so no clue about it.

        €1,265. It's quite a pricy buy-in of €550 and I'm expecting tough competition. Which is what makes it that much sweeter.

    Jota looking for his first bonus points this season

      He's not great in general play so needs two returns, especially if they keep a CS.

    Anyone watching Pool game on Premier Sports? Does the analysis look a bit like it's broadcast from a garden shed in comparison to Sky and BT?

    2 clubs in the Prem can play 3 up top & 3 at the back vs Pool with success.
    Southampton are not one of them

    Dont own Trent unless you are willing to captain him.

    Bet you all wish you listened to me

    1. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Nah. I wouldn't listen. But fair play to you.
