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

    My theory of West Brom giving Liverpool a good game not looking very accurate so far

    Loads of people went with Ings here on FH last night.

    1. Planet Jo
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      I certainly did!

  12. Fred54

    7 years, 10 months ago

    Ings can only make WBA fans Winj.

  13. dark91
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Ok that is enough. Better not risk Salah so sub him off Klopp

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

    Get him on the plane!

  15. Brosstan
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Salah playing more traditionally wide than normal because Ings is up top. Bad for Salah cappers.

  16. Sánchez
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Yass. Differential 1.

  17. Totalfootball
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Hope this GW doesn't turn to be like 34 !

  18. FPL Blow-In

    Bad for Bobby owners. No need to bring him on if they score another. Mane/Salah much more likely to come off early also.

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

      Highly likely that he will get 20-30min as a "work out" before Rome, and keep match fitness.

  19. Lord Flashheart

    Kane touched it

    1. dark91
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Got any more ancient jokes?

      1. Lord Flashheart
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Sure
        Kane and his daughter get into a bar, then the priest says to the nun "look at that idiot, swearing on his daughter"

        Methuselah touched it

    Ings can only get better, can only get better...

  21. Woy_is_back

    Blank Salah Blank

  22. Waynoo

    Get Ings on the plane Gareth

  23. CloudSky

    How is United second in the league is baffling.

    1. makaveli123
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      This

    2. tokara
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      becos remaining 18 teams sucks

    3. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      Shows how crap the rest are.

    4. tiger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      David De Gea...adds about 10 to 15 points for them I reckon

    5. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Utd are decent, but Jose has to be more attacking IMO. What has happened to Jose since he came to the PL in 2004? So miserable now.

    6. Zilla
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      It isn't

    7. Totalfootball
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      They have an exceptional squad with the likes of Sanchez lukaku
      Pogba martial etc

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

        And obv De gea

    8. Maddamotha
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Because they have more points than number 3, and beat all of the teams?

    9. Maddamotha
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      As Mou said, there are a lot of poets in fotball, but the poets dont win titles.

    10. FPL Blow-In

      It’s a points based system.

      A win is 3points, Draw is 1 and Loss is none.

      Played 34: W23 D5 L6 = 74points

      That places them in 2nd. Simple really.

  24. Chucky
    • 12 Years

    Kaku sighting...

    Can't get much more useless than that goal.

    1. Sánchez
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Speak for yourself
      Thats a great start 🙂

    2. Fred54

      Half the of Egyptians might have had Hegazi TC.

        • 13 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

  26. Collie01

    Milner more advanced than Salah so far

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
