Anfield under lights has brought us many an historic night of football – can it deliver similar events for Fantasy managers as Gameweek 26 rolls on?

One thing is certain, already the teamsheets have sent shockwaves throughout the Fantasy fraternity: Daniel Sturridge’s “slight” thigh injury keeps him out of tonight’s clash with West Brom, the first of Liverpool’s two fixtures in the Gameweek. The implications of that news, together with real-time chatter as the match progress can now take place in our Dugout Discussion chatroom.

Jonjo Shelvey is drafted in to replace the stricken Sturridge who failed today’s fitness test; Luis Suarez will presumably come in from his role on the flank to lead the attack. Elsewhere, Philippe Coutinho makes the bench for Brendan Rodgers’ side. Steve Clarke makes two changes to his West Brom outfit: Liam Ridgewell comes in to replace the suspended Goran Popov at left-back, while Youssouff Mulumbu makes a return to the starting lineup with Romelu Lukaku dropping to the bench. It’s a 4-3-2-1 from the Baggies, then.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Liverpool players not had them all season. Get Suarez before City game for DGW. Do Bale--->Gerrard for the DGW, knew Gerrard would miss it because of that. 11pts turn to -2 with that missed penalty.

    Dont know what to say, feel the most annoyed/disappointed that I have been this season right now

    Ok Brentan Rogers,
    in the cup it was your young players.
    In the Europa league it is a 'group' of players who rotate.
    Explain this..

    If LFC played like they did against MC and Arsenal they'd have won easy, now they look like a team that can't beat those above them. Good news is they have 5 fixtures out of 6 after the blank against teams below them.

      Now does not have enough money to buy RVP back and so has to take points hits next week to get him back.
