Salah back as Klopp names full-strength side for Palace clash

Mohamed Salah (£12.7m) is back in the Liverpool starting line-up for Gameweek 31+.

The Egyptian remained an unused substitute for the 0-0 draw with Everton on Sunday following a precautionary absence in a pre-Project Restart friendly.

But it’s back to full-strength for Jurgen Klopp’s men tonight as Crystal Palace come to Anfield.

He has kept faith in Roberto Firmino (£9.5m) and Sadio Mané (£12.5m), combining them with Salah in the front-three.

As expected, Andrew Robertson (£7.0m) is back in the Liverpool defence, joined there by Virgil van Dijk (£6.5m), Joe Gomez (£5.3m) and, of course, Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.8m).

Crystal Palace have matched Liverpool’s 4-3-3 formation with one of their own, deploying Andros Townsend (£5.6m) and Wilfried Zaha (£6.7m) either side of the in-form budget striker Jordan Ayew (£5.2m).

Liverpool XI: Alisson; Robertson, Van Dijk, Gomez, Alexander-Arnold; Wijnaldum, J Henderson, Fabinho; Mané, Firmino, Salah.

Crystal Palace XI: Hennessey; van Aanholt, Cahill, Sakho, J Ward; McArthur, McCarthy, Kouyaté; Townsend, Zaha, Ayew.

        • 6 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

      If you’re annoyed about that Salah miss, I sold Salah for Bruno(C).

      1. mrodgers91
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Rightly so

    • Rains of Castamere
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Salah bps in free fall

      1. Party time
          3 years, 10 months ago

          It needs some helping hands from Mané

      2. tucaoneo
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Looks like 89 + KDB.

      3. Botman and Robben
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Salah has to shed the baps, as always.

      4. Rainer
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Pissing BPS up the wall.

      5. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

      7. The Train Driver
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Young Williams playing great, old man TAA to lose his spot?

      8. The_Fish
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Trent getting winning goal bonus?

        1. badgerboy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 10 months ago

          He scored the winning goal so yeah.

          1. WD27
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 10 months ago

            As a newer FPL player like myself, the goal winning thing might not be as obvious so no need to be cocky about it

      9. Brosstan
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        I understand that Salah is too petty to pass to Mane but surely he could give the youngsters a pass or two?

        1. Jolly Good
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 10 months ago

          Didn’t he get an assist for Mané goal

      10. TheDragon
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        What are the Baps ending up as then?

        1. Kellz86
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 10 months ago

          I think TAA sneaks the last one with MWG points to be added later, so nothing for Salah

      11. pundit of punts
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Mane or Salah on WC?

        1. GreennRed
