All eyes on in-form Salah for Liverpool v Arsenal

Liverpool take on Arsenal in the sixth fixture of Gameweek 20, with kick-off at Anfield at 17:30 GMT.

Over 1.1 million Fantasy managers have handed the captaincy to Mohamed Salah this weekend, while just under 415,000 FPL bosses have given the armband to Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

Both of these premium assets start this evening.

Jurgen Klopp has opted for an attacking 4-2-3-1 again for this fixture, with Xherdan Shaqiri keeping his place alongside Salah, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino.

The Reds’ back four remains unchanged and indeed Klopp’s only alteration from the side that beat Newcastle sees Jordan Henderson drop out and Fabinho replace him.

Unai Emery has made four changes to his Arsenal side following the draw against Brighton on Boxing Day, with Aaron Ramsey, Ainsley Maitland-Niles, Alex Iwobi and the fit-again Shkodran Mustafi replacing Laurent Koscielny, Matteo Guendouzi, Alexandre Lacazette and Mesut Ozil.

Ozil is absent from the squad with what is believed to be a knee injury.

Arsenal appear to be lining up in a 3-4-2-1, with Iwobi and Ramsey supporting Aubameyang in attack.

The Gabonese forward was the fifth-most-sold FPL player of Gameweek 20, despite registering three goals in his last two starts.

Salah meanwhile is averaging 11.75 points per match over the last four Gameweeks.

Liverpool XI (4-2-3-1): Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Lovren, van Dijk, Robertson, Wijnaldum, Fabinho, Shaqiri, Firmino, Mane, Salah.

Arsenal XI (3-4-2-1): Leno, Lichtsteiner, Sokratis, Mustafi, Kolasinac, Xhaka, Torreira, Maitland-Niles, Ramsey, Iwobi, Aubameyang.

    Ranieri: "I said to Aboubakar Kamara to leave the ball to Aleksandar Mitrovic, he is the man who shoots the penalties. It is unbelievable, he did not respect me, the club, the team and crowd. I spoke with him, it is not right." (BBC)
