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.

    Is it worth selling Suarez for RVP now??

    Guys let's be honest, BR said Sturridge wasn't gonna be risked tonight. Since he's cup-tied for Europa, he will have plenty of training and given that shower of shite, there's is no way he won't start. Liverpool had no cutting edge tonight.

    No Sturridge would get me Turner's 8 points from my bench. but it ain't gonna happen

          No i'd move on + he's playing way to deep lately with better options around, personally I think strurridge is the best option for pool cover in terms of both points and position (not sure but he could be cup tied in europa meaning more PL time to)
