City v Liverpool: FPL Scout Report | OneFootball

The Scout’s verdict is in for Gameweek 25 of Fantasy Premier League as City host Liverpool.

Pep Guardiola’s side welcome Arne Slot’s to the Etihad Stadium on Sunday 23 February, with kick-off scheduled for 16:30 (UK).

The Blues enter the fixture looking to record back-to-back Premier League wins following our superb 4-0 win over Newcastle at home last time out in the division.

But we’ll also be aiming to bounce back from Wednesday’s 3-1 defeat to Real Madrid in our previous assignment as our Champions League quest this term came to an end.

HOW TO WATCH CITY V LIVERPOOL ON TV

City will have to be at our very best to collect three points this Sunday, though, against a Reds side who sit at the top of the table heading into the clash.

As the two top-flight heavyweights collide many will be eagerly anticipating our meeting with Liverpool, but FPL managers will be keeping an eye on the full Premier League schedule this weekend as they look to maximise their points return.

With that in mind, view the Scout’s latest report below ahead of Friday 21 February’s 18:30 (UK) deadline.

WATCH: Best goals: City v Liverpool

CITY STAR

Omar Marmoush (£7.1m), scored his first Premier League hat-trick in Gameweek 25 against Newcastle and the Egyptian has started each of the last three top-flight matches.

In that time, he has had seven attempts on goal something only four forwards in the game can better. He has also created four chances, something that only Erling Haaland (£14.7m) can better of the forwards in the game.

The versatile forward has also taken more free kicks and corners than any other forward, giving him an excellent route to points.

Marmoush’s Gameweek 25 hat-trick came from four attempts on goal at an expected goals (xG) tally of 0.71. This ruthlessness could unlock a Liverpool side who have just one clean sheet in their last five league matches.

ONE TO WATCH

Mohamed Salah (£13.7m) is Liverpool’s main threat with four goals and three assist in his last four matches in all competitions.

DIFFERENTIALS

Elsewhere, Bournemouth's Dango Outtara (£5.1m) and Arsenal's Ethan Nwaneri (£4.5m) are low-owned gems worthy of serious consideration this Gameweek.

Dango he has produced four goals and an assist in his last four appearances for Bournemouth and is owned by a meagre 3.1% managers.

Nwaneri, meanwhile, has two goals and an assist in four appearances for Arsenal, despite playing only 186 minutes.
