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.

    That’s your first and last, Fabinho.

    1. Bruce Lee
      • 5 Years

    How can Fabinho take that - ridiculous

    1. Syd.
      • 14 Years

      With his foot?

  14. Bubz
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Don’t understand that logic of changing FK takers from someone who just scored a perfect one. Stupid

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 13 Years

      Especially since it was from the around the same range and area

    TAA could become a bigger LFC legend than Gerrard.

    1. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      You mean Slippy G?

      1. -Klaus-

        6 Times

    2. HNI
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Only if he goes Bale path and become RM soon and improves dribbling. His defending is bit of issue so better hone the strenghts

    3. svasei - Up (?) the Rovers
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Could be. Off to a good start to his career with CL and PL titles.

      On the other hand Gerrard embodies much of the spirit of the long waiting Waitingpool era of hard work, a tad too little skill in the team and slip ups.

      I'm not joking if you were wondering. The fact that he didn't leave to win the league for instance will be a factor in many people's mind I think.

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

      Definitely! In Trent, Rashford and Foden we're seeing three youngsters who could easily become their club's greatest legend

  18. Royal5
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Why the hell does Fabinho take fk's?

    1. Bruce Lee
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      He has Robbo instead of TAA

  19. james 101
    • 12 Years

    Strange taa didn’t get it

  20. Fred54
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    The more I see Fabinho the more I see a polite roadman type who won a competition to play for Liverpool

    That was handball but is it to close to be given?

  26. Teahupo'o

    Alli Williams ➡ Martial Aurier, kneejerky?

    1. GOTHAM City F.C.

      Yes

          Zero chance they come good over martial and aurier

          1. Teahupo'o
            • 12 Years
            3 years, 10 months ago

            I agree. Just difficult taking my medicine after a failed Alli punt this gw, and given their fixtures. Form is poor though. Player and team.

  27. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus

    It freaks my nut in that a right back can get 14 assists (and 3 goals)

    Let alone a 21 year old right back

    He really is something like a reincarnation of David Beckham with a bit more mobility too

    1. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      “Freaks your nut” that’s a new one

        A phrase borrowed from the ample tome of National Treasure, Beloved Thespian & Poet Laureate that is Sir Daniel Dyer:

    Mane (c) complete disaster. At least I was deciding between him and Fernandes

    1. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
      • 7 Years

      Lol relax it’s early on

    2. Fred54

      Chill man, Mane can definitely match Ferdnandes.
