The first of two Saturday fixtures gets underway at 12.30 as West Bromwich Albion welcome Liverpool to the Hawthorns.

Today’s big teamsheet news sees Roberto Firmino drop out of the visitors’ starting line-up, although Jurgen Klopp keeps faith in Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane elsewhere in the front three.

With his Golden Boot tussle against Harry Kane going right to the wire, Salah goes in search of a fifteenth double-figure haul of the season today.

The Baggies’ backline, meanwhile, have managed just a single shutout in their last 11 attempts.

Mane also boasts fine form for today’s early kick-off, with four goals and three assists in the Reds’ previous seven league outings.

The Merseysiders arrive on the back of a series of resilient showings, conceding just five times in 12 matches across all competitions.

Jay Rodriguez looks the man most likely to breach the visitors’ defence, having scored in three of the last four Gameweeks – including last Sunday’s winner at Old Trafford.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    3 BAPS for Milner would be awesome.

      No, it would be terrible

      1. 5os

        Let's agree to disagree

  2. Point-one short

    It's so cute that Kane thought he could actually catch Salah. Drove him to even steal a goal

    1. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      😆

    2. Fred54

      I read 'cute' in an Aussie accent for some reason.

    How does Klavan have more BAPs than VVD? VVD has been the best player on the pitch while Klavan the second worst

  9. Les Bleus
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Cmon Klavan lad!

  10. FPL Blow-In

    Salah has had a poor game up until the goal tbf

    1. Johnny 8
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      See this said so many times.

  11. Bissisine
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    You think Van Dijk get bonus if they keep CS??

  12. GoonerRed

    7 years, 10 months ago

    Salah is the closest thing to being the messi of the premier league. I think this season definitely trumps Ronaldos one, if he breaks the most goals scored over 38 games.

    1. Ruinenlust
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      He's a good goalscorer but he's a very average player

      1. Pigeon
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        You're such a shite talker

    2. Dr Van Nostrand
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Yep he's having the best season by a Prem player ever just one more goal to equal CRon's record of 42

  13. Sailboats

    All the clowns who said "should have gone with Jesus" seriously make me laugh

    1. Pigeon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Well I have Jesus and Salah, what am I?

    2. Feloh
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Jesus could hattrick

    3. Point-one short
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Jesus may yet outscore him

    4. Forza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Considering West Brom's surprisingly good defensive stats in the captain sensible article, the regret was understandable.

    5. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Lol! It’s ONE goal, Jesus will score probably 4

      1. Old Man
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Highly unrealistic - Swansea aren't as bad that.

  14. Feloh
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    line up

  15. Kai
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    1. Kai
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

  16. TheTinman
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago
