The final Premier League match of the day is the meeting between Leicester City and Liverpool at the King Power Stadium.

Kick-off is at 4.30pm BST.

Trent Alexander-Arnold, who hasn’t played since Gameweek 28 due to an ankle injury, is back on the bench for Liverpool.

Arne Slot makes two changes to his starting XI.

Dominik Szoboszlai comes in for Curtis Jones, while Cody Gakpo replaces Diogo Jota, presumably shifting Luis Diaz into a central striker role.

Leicester, who grabbed a rare point at Brighton and Hove Albion in their last outing, breaking their eight-game goal drought in the process, make three alterations.

Wout Faes, Ricardo Pereira and Bobby De-Cordova Reid get recalls, with Caleb Okoli, James Justin and Kasey McAteer dropping out.

LINE-UPS

Leicester City XI: Hermansen, Pereira, Faes, Coady, Thomas, Ndidi, Soumare, El Khannouss, De Cordova-Reid, Mavididi, Vardy

Subs: Stolarczyk, Justin, Kristiansen, Okoli, Skipp, Buonanotte, Monga, Ayew, Daka

Liverpool XI: Alisson, Bradley, Konate, van Dijk, Tsimikas, Gravenberch, Mac Allister, Szoboszlai, Salah, Gakpo, Diaz

Subs: Kelleher, Endo, Darwin, Jones, Elliott, Jota, Robertson, Alexander-Arnold, Quansah

    Can't believe that Leicester goal was disallowed
    Bustling people out of the way under a high ball happens all the time

      Yeah I think you're alone on this one bud

    2. EWH2020

      Yeh if it was on Onana or Vicario it would have been "keeper needs to be stronger there"

      1. KanuLenoMeeMoCash
        • 5 Years
        8 months, 6 days ago

        Fact

    Go on Leicester, grab a goal

    Why does it happen so often that if the majority captain option has blanked the other top 2/3 blank as well even when presented with many big chances. Anyone noticed this happen so often.

    1. Jogsi
      • 11 Years
      8 months, 6 days ago

      Yep. Nearly every time.

  4. Pat Bonner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    8 months, 6 days ago

    TAA goal

    1. MikeS
      • 11 Years
      8 months, 6 days ago

      Booo

    2. Freshy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 months, 6 days ago

      We dont need him

  5. TheBiffas
    • 5 Years
    8 months, 6 days ago

    It just had to be him

  6. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    8 months, 6 days ago

    That was fate, wasn’t it…

    The Bradley replacement and all!

    Ghost ships rise

    Salah post 3rd time in 1 game

    Trent playing for skins v shirts

  10. have you seen cyan
    • 6 Years
    8 months, 6 days ago

    In hindsight the Trent goal was so predictable lol. Just to shut the Pool fans up.

  11. tricpic
    • 16 Years
    8 months, 6 days ago

    Think Trent starts next week?
    Him or Virge on FH?

    1. have you seen cyan
      • 6 Years
      8 months, 6 days ago

      I'd get TAA.

  12. FantasyTony

    Faes owners mudded

  13. BobbyDoesNotLook
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    How doesn't Salah have anything from this game 😀

    1. The 12th Man
      • 12 Years
      8 months, 6 days ago

      This is going to be a captain fail.

  14. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
    • 9 Years
    8 months, 6 days ago

    Liverpool fans currently extinguishing their Trent shirts they’d set on fire

  15. Baines on Toast...
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    8 months, 6 days ago

    Captain Mo could've been glorious given that it is effectively a SGW shootout after Saka/Moush blanks. But seems like it's not his day

    1. Sgt. Schultz
      • 9 Years
      8 months, 6 days ago

      still time for a 90th min Pen

  16. Philosopher's Stones
    • 5 Years
    8 months, 6 days ago

    Unlucky for Faes cappers

    1. Gamst - Up (?) the Rovers
      • 15 Years
      8 months, 6 days ago

      Remember when capping Wes Morgan actually was a viable strategy?

  17. MikeS
    • 11 Years
    8 months, 6 days ago

    Anyone else loading up on pool players on freehit next week? Spurs are one of the worst teams in the league I can see them getting torn a new one, with pool securing the title in a dominant display. 5-0 imo, easy win

    1. Andy_Social
      • 13 Years
      8 months, 6 days ago

      Got 3 midfielders in my draft, but diff to guess which 3 start with Salah.

      1. MikeS
        • 11 Years
        8 months, 6 days ago

        I'm going Diaz and Salah, and maybe taa

    2. tricpic
      • 16 Years
      8 months, 6 days ago

      Yes

  18. Gamst - Up (?) the Rovers
    • 15 Years
    8 months, 6 days ago

    I assume the yc for shirt off was introduced as an anti time wasting measure back in the day. With VAR they should repeal it since there's plenty of time for celebrations while VAR does its thing.

    1. Marvin.
      • 9 Years
      8 months, 6 days ago

      Pressure from sponsors brought that rule in.

      1. Reddonkeyham 42
        • 11 Years
        8 months, 6 days ago

        Wasn't sponsors initially, was always about time wasting.

    2. KanuLenoMeeMoCash
      • 5 Years
      8 months, 6 days ago

      Most likely about sponsorship
      Shirt sponsors want the logo seen during celebrations more than any other time

      1. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        8 months, 6 days ago

        Hasn’t really worked, though, has it!

      2. Marvin.
        • 9 Years
        8 months, 6 days ago

        Which of course means this lad should be booked as soon as he comes on!

      3. Gamst - Up (?) the Rovers
        • 15 Years
        8 months, 6 days ago

        That makes sense.

  19. WVA
    • 9 Years
    8 months, 6 days ago

    That’s some of the FH budget spent on Trent at least

  20. Baps Hunter
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    8 months, 6 days ago

    Salah 1.54 - 1.39 Saka (now)

  21. Rwilliams90
    • 14 Years
    8 months, 6 days ago

    If Leicester score I'm ripping my shirt off

    1. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      8 months, 6 days ago

      On the Lord’s day!

      (Can’t disagree)

      1. Rwilliams90
        • 14 Years
        8 months, 6 days ago

        Might get my Easter eggs out as well

    2. have you seen cyan
      • 6 Years
      8 months, 6 days ago

      I have my yellow card ready

  22. EWH2020
    • 11 Years
    8 months, 6 days ago

    This has been sickening for Salah captainers. Easily should have had 2 or 3 returns

    1. tricpic
      • 16 Years
      8 months, 6 days ago

      It’s not been a great week for Saka or Marmoush cappers TBF

  23. Wizard of Ozil
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    8 months, 6 days ago

    Come on Mo, just 1 assist, is that too much to ask

  24. tiger
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    8 months, 6 days ago

    Please bring home those 9 points Konate!

    1. Philosopher's Stones
      • 5 Years
      8 months, 6 days ago

      This

      1. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        8 months, 6 days ago

        Indeed this!

    2. keefy59
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      8 months, 6 days ago

      A good punt for FH in 34
      If you can't afford VVD or don't expect TAA to start

  25. Not again Shirley
    • 9 Years
    8 months, 6 days ago

    Was debating captain between Saka, Salah and Mar and they currently have 1,2 and 3! I chose the one that has one so far!

    1. The 12th Man
      • 12 Years
      8 months, 6 days ago

      Saka and Mar go again though.

      1. have you seen cyan
        • 6 Years
        8 months, 6 days ago

        This. I still think Marmoush will do ok in the second game. Villa are hardly tight at the back, it will be an end to end game.

    2. Philosopher's Stones
      • 5 Years
      8 months, 6 days ago

      Sorry for your huge loss of 2/4 points mate.

      1. Not again Shirley
        • 9 Years
        8 months, 6 days ago

        My main point was that that it made no difference which one chose. Don’t care for the 1,2 or 3. That’s almost irrelevant. Sorry should have been clearer.

        1. keefy59
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          8 months, 6 days ago

          Even if you had Mbeumo the highest scoring player this week
          There was no way you would have captained him over a dgw player

  26. F4L

    diaz bro how you blanking vs leicester. pain

  27. Reddonkeyham 42
    • 11 Years
    8 months, 6 days ago

    These captain blanks past few weeks have really taken the air out of the FPL season

    1. have you seen cyan
      • 6 Years
      8 months, 6 days ago

      Wish they would just remove captain tbh. I'd do considerably better if it wasn't for my rogue captain picks.

  28. tiger

    Love you Konate!

  29. EWH2020
    • 11 Years
    8 months, 6 days ago

    Assume VVD gets boosted up to 1 BAP as they did that with Kerkez
