Salah returns to Klopp’s starting XI and carries captaincy hopes of millions

The penultimate fixture of Gameweek 15 sees Liverpool defend their 66-match unbeaten league run at home against a West Bromwich Albion side led by the last manager to taste success at Anfield.

Sam Allardyce, whose Crystal Palace side were victorious on Merseyside in April 2017, takes charge of the Baggies for the second time today.

Kick-off is at 16:30 GMT.

The headline team news sees the most-captained player of Gameweek 15, Mohamed Salah (£12.6m) return to the Liverpool starting line-up after his benching last weekend.

The Egyptian was transferred in by over 500,000 Fantasy Premier League managers ahead of Saturday’s deadline, swelling his ownership figure to over 45%.

Around 2.4 million FPL bosses handed him the armband for this fixture, with just over 100,000 of us using their Triple Captain chip on FPL’s most expensive asset.

Curtis Jones (£4.4m) is also recalled to the Reds’ team, with the benched Takumi Minamino (£6.0m) and the absent Naby Keita (£5.2m) making way.

Keita misses out with a “fitness issue”.

Allardyce’s only change from the 3-0 home defeat by Aston Villa is an enforced one.

Callum Robinson (£5.4m) returns in place of Jake Livermore (£4.7m), who is suspended.

Matheus Pereira (£5.6m) is available again after serving his own three-match ban and is among the substitutes.




Liverpool XI: Alisson, Fabinho, Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Robertson, Jones, Wijnaldum, Henderson, Salah, Firmino, Mane.

West Brom XI: Johnstone, Furlong, Gibbs, Ajayi, Robinson, Phillips, Diangana, Gallagher, Sawyers, O’Shea, Grant.

    Klopp deserves this today.

    1. Bruce Lee
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Why?

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        He’s an absolute clown

        Roy Keane ready to break his jaw

        Deservedly

        1. Bruce Lee

          I genuinely confused as I'm not watching hahaha

    2. Chalobah's Witness

      Because he complained the ref didn't treat him with respect and laughed at him?

    Last gw was so fun. This week it’s back to the season I know so well.

    Disgusting!

    All of this because a Jones wrong pass, dear God I don't know how he is a Liverpool player, he looks more like a.Arsenla type of player, good for nothing but making mistakes. By far the worst player tonight and playing in the first year comparing to the rest of the team.

    So Robbo over Dias who was really in need of a rest went well....

    Sam Johnstone needed on the DGW BB team?

    WB might as well get a second goal if Salah isn't scoring. Let's go WB!

      The fact that the VAR does not intervene here is purely intentional. It makes the league more exciting and is the only way to stop Liverpool.

        let’s hope so

      If Salah or TAA aren'y going to get returns, hope WBA score another as a United fan!

    • JBG
      • 5 Years

      Klopp probably should have started with the fake team that got leaked, would have been better.

    • Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Why didnt VAR check the offside or at least show us the pictures?

      1. @persecuted_by_mods
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Why would they on a blatant inside

            Anybody mention that the decision to captain Salah may turn out to be a fail?

            Am I imagining this or are they still playing. For goodness sake the match hasn't finished.

            Salah really has been awful today. Not just from a FPL point of view.
