Doubts: Liverpool – Alexander Isak
Key FPL notes:
-
Dominik Szoboszlai (£6.6m) scored in the draw at Leeds United in gameweek 15 and netted the winner from the spot against Inter Milan in the Champions League. Szoboszlai is also Liverpool’s – and one of the league’s – most frequent chance creators with 20 across the past eight matches, while he has managed 11 shots on target too.
-
Hugo Ekitike (£8.4m) took his Premier League goals tally to five with a brace against Leeds last time out.
-
Brighton’s defence has largely been improving in recent weeks, with all three of their clean sheets this season coming in their last six Premier League outings.
-
Even if the Seagulls concede as they have in their two most recent matches, defender Jan Paul van Hecke (£4.5m) is capable of an attacking return – the Dutch centre-back has three goals and an assist this season.
