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

  7. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
    • 12 Years

    0 from 0 so far.

  8. Gudjohnsen
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 13 days ago

    No cards for WBA in this game!

  9. LaLaLand
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 13 days ago

    very stange performance by us - players seemed to be happy with the draw and you can assume Chelsea will beat us at home so we now need to beat Stoke and Brighton to get top 4

    1. Gudjohnsen
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 13 days ago

      Yeah, dangerous situation.

    2. NATSTER
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 13 days ago

      It makes Brighton and Stoke games important.

    3. boc610
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 13 days ago

      assume chelsea beat us at home?.. yeah because Klopps record against top 6 is so bad

  10. Ragabolly
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 13 days ago

    Thank goodness this **** Moreno is not in my team for more than today!

  11. Bouncebackability

    Liverpool defence and the ref had a shocker there.

  12. Delph & Safety
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 13 days ago

    Glad I ignored mane. It was really only because I couldn’t afford him.

  13. TLF
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Rival was 36 points ahead before kick off, his team is

    Fabianski, Walker, Salah, Mili, Cork, Jesus (C)

    My team

    Butland
    Milner, Bellerin, Baines, Salah (C), Ozil, Zaha, Sterling, KDB, Jesus, Laca.

    Surely I can make up some reasonable ground this week. Can see Jesus getting a couple at least though which could hinder points gained.

  14. TheTinman
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 13 days ago

    Well at least Mané got the cs. We go again. I've discovered it is my whole ML with jesus (c) and me with Sterling. Pray for Raheem

  15. Weasel Boy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 13 days ago

    No bps for Salah.
    I'll take that

    1. TLF
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 13 days ago

      1. Weasel Boy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 13 days ago

      • 10 Years

  17. Zladan
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 13 days ago

    Klavan getting a right ear full from Klopp. Maybe the last we see of him.

  18. Steve Stiffler
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 13 days ago

    we were all going to loose points on a pool defender anyways, f**k it

  19. diesel001
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 13 days ago

  20. Jafooli
    • 14 Years

    Sick of Anfield Express - said Firmino wouldn't play, he did. Why bother.

    Sold him and will need a hit to get him back next week.

      • 12 Years

  21. Hart-ake

    Good result for Salah starting next week?

    1. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 13 days ago

      With CL it's 50/50

  23. Ruinenlust
    • 8 Years

    Disappointing stuff

  24. FPL Maldini
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 13 days ago

    Salah shouldn't get any BAPS by the looks of it

    1. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 13 days ago

      Maybe 1.
      Hopefully not

  25. dunas_dog

    Jesus captains and Salah owners happy with 7 points for Salah? I think I am as I crawled from behind sofa 10 minutes ago!

    1. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 13 days ago

      Im reasonably happy, but so close to him getting a 2 pointer. One moment of magic

    2. Johnny 8
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 13 days ago

      I'll take it.

    3. MTPockets
        8 years, 13 days ago

        Think so.

      • Ragabolly
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 13 days ago

        7 is not huge, thank God. Even if Jesus fails, it’s not a huge loss

      • BERGKOP
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 13 days ago

        Definitely take it.

    4. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 13 days ago

      Only one more game today and I have no players in it. Humph.

    5. Gazzpfc
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 13 days ago

      1. Rostah
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 13 days ago

    6. Steve Stiffler
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 13 days ago

      1. *Reformed-Character*
        • 8 Years

        Life goes on

        1. Steve Stiffler
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 13 days ago

      2. Alex_thekid
        • 8 Years
