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

    Has Anfield express tweeted when Salah will score next?

      Lol

      LOL

      67'

      Fair call. I hope it stops for the sake of the club. Gives the opposition a competitive advantage releasing that info so early.

    Anfield Express says Liverpool will win the UCL

    1. El-Kloppico
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Y not.
      They are usually right at predicting..

    2. Dannyb
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Not playing like this they won't.

      1. BERGKOP
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        This team won't be playing in UCL so it's irrelevant

  3. El-Kloppico
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Perfect score.. just keep it like this and see Milner racks up the max. Bonus.
    Manè destroying the attack and Moreno horrendous as usual.

    1. BERGKOP
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Milner has been a bright spark. No cohesion between Salah and Mane. Mane seems a little out of position. Moreno is a liability. Highlights how solid Robertson is.

  4. barcaa7
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Mane 🙁

    Come on Klopp, do the sensible thing and take Salah off my son. WBA are a dirty team that commits lots of shocking challenges. Why risk an injury on your star player? Top 4 is in the box, Chelsea have been on the beach since January.

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

      After 60 mins. Give me the CS point.

    2. El-Kloppico
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Yeah get Salah and VvD off. They are the pillars for the UCL hope

    3. theodosios
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Wow, great FH team dude

      1. Team Cruel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Give it 45 minutes, I'm sure Salah and Pool defence will mess it up 😛

  6. DV8R
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    If the score can stay the same that would be great.

  7. boc610
    • 14 Years

    "Extra Extra Pool play it safe before Champions League Semi final shocker"

  8. The Royal Robin
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    How many more minutes does Salah have? He's bound to be taken off at some point.

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

      Till he scores.

    2. HNI
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Till he scores. Mane will be subbed first

    Arsenal team news

    Willock and Nketiah trained with first-team

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      So much for the 'full strength' rehearsal.

    2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Nelson and Gilmour trained with first-team as well. Wilshere in light training

    3. Collie01

      Ramsey?

    4. BIGREDDOG
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      They need a fit bench 🙂

    5. VDiesel26
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Nketiah played yesterday for U23s, if he plays tomorrow it will be from the bench most likely

  10. HurriKane
    • 13 Years

    Time to Sell Salah ?.

    He probably wont start next gw and has chelsea away in gw37.

    Straight swap with Eriksen could reap rewards

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

      If AE posts he is not starting next one I'm swapping for a City mid probably.

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

      3 weeks late with that move 😉

    3. theodosios
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      1) U don't know if he's gonna play next GW or not
      2) Chelsea? Salah can score 2 or 3 vs those amateurs
      3) Golden boot?

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

        1) anfeild express . no worries

        2) he could. but id take eriksen (wba NEW) all day long.

        3) will get him back foe gw38

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

        2) It's funny co it's true

    4. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      All depends on anfield express

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

      Yes 10m midfielder that might not start is too much

      Im doing Salah Barnes -> Kane Gundugan

  11. Zladan
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Salah (c) fail.

      • 14 Years

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

      Salah changed to a short sleeve top

    2. Dannyb
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Yeah think they've brought Salah on.

  18. Hybrid.power

  19. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years

    Salah time to come out of hegazi's pocket

  20. CloudSky
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Mane isnt looking like the best pick on FH.

  21. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years

    Liverpool Pen Denied... Ref has Sterling(C)

  22. Twisted Saltergater
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    How is that not a penalty?!?!?

  23. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Salah touch not great today

    So many loose touches

  24. TLF
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    If ever there was a week where I needed a Salah goal, it's this one, I've only capped him 3 times this season, come on Mo, do what you do best.

  25. FPL Blow-In
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Would have been the perfect goal

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

    Ref has to give the next decent pen shout now...Salah to step up.

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

    Wtf Salah shoot!!

  28. Collie01
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Poor decision, should have been a pen

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

    Interesting WBA haven't watered the pitch much at half time. Perfect for WBA long ball game, but not good for Liverpool.

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

    Salah gives the ball away so much. No wonder he never gets any bonus points
