Pope
Duffy, Kenny, Otamendi, Mee
Sterling, Sane, Salah (c), Mahrez
Firminio, DCL

Bench: Elliott, Ogbonna, Surman, Kane.

Sterling and DCL rotation worries but going to bank transfer this week.

Cantona's Collars

Another GW and another reason I've only 10 playing. I'm not taking a hit to replace the now injured Elliott. Here's hoping Newcastle concede 5 just to ease my annoyance.

Dunk... Otamendi...Gomez

Hazard...Salah (c)...Lingard... Sterling... Carroll

........DCL..... Lukaku.......

bantee

1 FT used of Sane to Sterling, now for the tears later when the latter is benched and Sane bags a rake of points!
DDG
Kenny Gomez Christie
Hazard(c) Salah Sterling Ricarlison RLC
Morata Quaner

Subs: Elliot Kane Masuaku Hunemeir

paulie21

Courtois

Kenny Duffy Otamendi

Salah Hazard (c) Coutinho Ricky

Wilson Vardy Lukaku

Foster RLC Monreal Rangel

Only 12 available so probably in a rotation danger zone can’t see Coutinho starting after playing the 90 on Tuesday

DDG

Morata DCL

Elliott Mbemba Kane Masuaku

FT banked for next week, but risking another week with no Sterling.

Only playing sub is TPT

Good luck all

Ederson

Azpi Mee Duffy Kenny

Salah Sane Townsend Fabregas

Morata Depoitre

Only Dann on bench.

alchemist33

At least Depoitre and Groß should start for me this time. God knows, they need to.

km79

Nothing official, unfortunately. Only info I got was that Willian and Pedro were likely to start, and Haz had been limping in training, but no official line-up info this time... trying to find out before 2, because I want to captain Haz if he starts.


This is from the guy on FFs who has had the Chelsea team lineup for last few months
he even called the azpi rest ........

Benimar

DDG
Otamendi, Christensen, Duffy
Salah (c), Hazard, Sterling, Richarlison, RLC
Firmino, DCL

Elliott, Naughton, Ogbonna, Kane

extra gravy

Courtois
Mee Dummett Otamendi Kenny
Salah(c) Hazard Sterling Ricky
Morata Depoitre

RLC my only sub, will be lucky to get 11 out I'd say.

Thepoet85

I had absolutely no idea there were games today. Gl all

Cartman78

Two big green arrows over the last couple of weeks so really don't want to lose traction (again!)

Courtois
Long | Duffy | Kenny | Daniels

Hazard | Richarlison | Salah | Coutinho| Surman

Morata (C)

Subs: Elliot Crouch Kane Ogbonna

The captaincy may change about 50 times between now and 2pm...Daniels may also change into Robertson

threein99

Do people think Coutinho will get 90 mins today? Currently have the arm band on him

NabyLadistheman

No goalie here either FML

bantee

News on Hazard before the deadline would be handy as I’d take a -4 to transfer him out and field 11

Father Hernandez

Hoping to keep up my good form recently

Courtois

Alonso, Otamendi, Gomez, Kenny

Ricky; KDB, Sterling, Salah (C)

Morata, Firmino

Subs. Krul, Crouch, RLC, Masuaku

Praying no one gets injured or suspended so the swap from Morata to Kane will be simple

Also deliberated with Morata or Salah captain. Salah probably the safe choice. May change before 2 though

Good luck all

I don’t know if I’d sell him but I don’t think I’d captain him

But I don’t have him !

Switching the captaincy to Morata so. In what will already be a poor GW for me I can't afford a not fully fit captain.

he was getting the chop on monday for a arni...

Paully D

Pickford
Christensen Robertson Kabasele
Hazard (C) Salah (VC) Sterling Richarlison Zaha
Morata Calvert-Lewin

One playing outfield sub - Naughton - with Kane and Ogbonna benched.

I do think Hazard will explode any week now, but I am getting very tempted to switch him to De Bruyne admittedly and probably will despite his excellent fixtures if I don't get the returns over this period.

Probably stupid to captain him in light on the post KM has just put up, but I'd be sick if he starts and I didn't captain him. Hopefully we'll find out more closer to the deadline.

Quaner or DCL?

Aguero to play?

Quaner or DCL?

Huddersfield manager was praising Quaner yesterday:

"He's the fittest he's been since arriving at the club. He’s full of confidence, a threat offensively and works hard defensively. He’s in very good form."

While Big Sam said that DCL can't be relied upon for every game as he's still developing.

Anfield Express have Mignolet dropped, TAA starting instead of Gomez, and all of Firmino, Mané, Coutinho and Salah starting.

They've a track record of predicting teams, getting it wrong and deleting tweets. I've seen it myself on at least 4 occasions, the most recent being 2 weeks ago and it was an hour and 10 mins before kick off so thought it would be fairly reliable. Team was announced ten mins later and they deleted it.

They might be right, but my opinion of them is they're making educated guesses rather than actually knowing

spock.

Gomes
Alonso(c) Christensen Robertson
Salah Sterling Sane Coutinho Ritchie
Rooney DCL
(Naughton Smalling* Austin**)

No hits but a few flags.

DJIMI TRARORE

In my wisdom I dropped DDG for Lori's (dgw in mind) safe in the knowledge that Elliot was guaranteed to play. First of many disappointments coming this weekend (:(:

Had planned same for Loris as I’d two transfers but then saw Elliot news - now Mignolet looks to be dropped so confidence in keepers well and truly shot

Martial back is probably not great news for mata
Lingard is version to start instead of Ibra so hopefully martial and Rashford rotate with each other
Only need mata for this game
He is gone next week either way

Miki Shaw Ibra Herrera not seen at hotel yet so hopefully mata will start

Where the **** is the hazard news????? I'm stressing out here.

Tomkins against City is my only sub currently. I’ll just have to take my chances on him as I really want the 2 Fts next week for Arnie and Son

Willian start or not?

Apparently yes

Gomez isn't a certain starter for Liverpool. I definitely wouldn't rely on him playing any week.

Spanish journo who usually has Silva news

@10JoseAlvarez: David Silva did not train today and he is not in Manchester yet. That indicates that tomorrow he will not play against Crystal Palace.
