Xherdan Shaqiri (£6.4m) has made a surprise return to the Liverpool line-up in their top of the table clash with Manchester United in Double Gameweek 19.

Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers using their Triple Captain chip on Mohamed Salah (£12.5m) will hope the Egyptian can return to his best form, after blanking in the last three games.

Jurgen Klopp has stuck with a 4-3-3 formation, playing Roberto Firmino (£9.3m) in his customary false nine role, flanked by Salah and Sadio Mane (£11.9m).

Their midfield has an attacking look, with Gini Wijnaldum (£5.3m) alongside Thiago (£5.7m) and Shaqiri.

Andy Robertson (£7.4m) and Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.3m) line up at full-back, with the makeshift centre-half pairing of Jordan Henderson (£5.4m) and Fabinho (£5.4m).

Alisson (£5.9m) will be hoping to keep only his fifth clean sheet of the season.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has again named a side containing Paul Pogba (£7.7m) and Bruno Fernandes (£11.3m), as he attempts to oust Liverpool from the top of the Premier League.

Anthony Martial (£8.8m) has returned from injury to lead the line for the Red Devils.

Marcus Rashford (£9.6m) lines up opposite Pogba on the right-hand side of the attack, with Fernandes in his customary number ten role.

Scott McTominay (£4.9m) and Fred (£5.3m) make up a battling midfield for Man United.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka (£5.4m) and Luke Shaw (£4.8m) start at full-back, with Victor Lindelof (£4.8m) returning to the side alongside Harry Maguire (£5.4m) in the centre of defence.

David De Gea (£5.3m) continues to be selected ahead of Dean Henderson (£5.2m) in goal.

Liverpool XI: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Henderson, Fabinho, Robertson; Wijnaldum, Thiago, Shaqiri; Salah, Mane, Firmino

De Gea; Wan-Bissaka, Maguire, Lindelof, Shaw; Fred, McTominay; Rashford, Fernandes, Pogba; Martial

    Martial potential injury, good news for united

    Salah is terrible. Even if he gets a lucky pen it'll only be worth 5 points as he will absolutely get 0 baps with all the dispossessions and shots off target. Maybe a YC for taking off his shirt again

      Agreed

      Just wants to dribble past everyone and keeps giving the ball away

        I’ve had Salah from the start of the season and I’ve been reasonably content but I think he’s lost his way over recent weeks and I’ve got rid of him for KDB this week.
        I Hope I don’t regret it, especially with the KDB rumours about him getting rested...

      If he takes off his shirt with no fans there then that would be hilarious 😆

      1. Deulofail
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Oh isthat why they do it? As a treat to the fans?

        1. Traction Engine Foot
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          It gets me going

    3. ivantys
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Do ppl here rage at players for taking off their shirts?

    4. Egg noodle
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      What if he gets 2 lucky pens?

    5. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      I've thought this since he went to Liverpool and only owned him for 1 GW since, I believe. But it's not been working out for me 😀

  5. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    1. BenDavies
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

    2. Jafooli
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Doesn’t want a 5th YC so he misses the second game of a DGW

    3. Party time
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Self isolating

  6. Right In The Stanchion
    • 6 Years

    Imagine how unbearable Neville & Tyler will be if United were to jam a win.

    Yuck yuck yuck yuck yuck

  7. Deulofail

      • 7 Years

  9. Bushwhacker
    • 7 Years

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      You're the winner!

    United asking for it

    1. Bushwhacker
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Can’t play any other way

  13. Mr. O'Connell
    • 14 Years

    Congrats double United and double Pool defence owners.

    1. GROBARI
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Yeah,only 60 minutes left

    2. Jindaljain
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Liverpool will keep CS & score a goal

  14. Brosstan
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Bruno is a known flat track bully. Its not pointed out enough, but his stats are very poor agianst good teams. Penandes could strike though..

  15. 272MK
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Come on Pep. Go and rest KDB.

    1. Jindaljain
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      KDB need rest or else he might get injury

  16. WVA
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Salah shocking, casuals captaining KDB win again

    1. Bojam
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Lol. Salah shocking (again!)... casuals chose KDB. Yawn.

  17. james 101
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    73% possession!

  18. _Ninja_
    • 15 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Robbo has been even worst than Salah so far.

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      He really hasn’t

  19. Ze_Austin
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Shaw got into the Liverpool box and passed it back to Bruno who was much further behind

    That felt so wrong

    1. Bushwhacker
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Shaw will get a warning at half time for going forwars

  20. BenDavies
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Salah is a terrible FPL option right now. I do not feel happy owning him whatsoever. FOMO, mostly.

    1. Flair
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      I FHd so I could have him for the DGW at Anfield but I'll be delighted to see him out of my team in the following weeks

    2. Gnu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Buggu'd

    3. Bushwhacker
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Were you expecting a first half hat trick against a bus?

      1. BenDavies
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        I'm expecting someone of his price and pedigree to actually be a good footballer and be threatening, rather than losing the ball with every possession and skying every shot he takes

  21. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 16 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Bruno has been terrible so far

    1. Flair
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Bruno has been poor for a while and with Pogba taking up much of his role not looking as good as a FPL asset

  22. Flair
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Robbo owners the real winners?

    1. Bushwhacker
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Not playing like this

  23. Brosstan
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Thiago is the greatest player of all time and he should be handed the Ballon D'or immediately, no point playing out the season!

    1. GROBARI
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Hahahaha,again removed comment?

    2. Traction Engine Foot
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Clearly, just look at his bps

  24. Bob_the_builder
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Need to bring on Cavani to exploit the makeshift CB pairing.

  25. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Bruno so bad this half

  26. Jindaljain
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Robbo triple captain any?

  27. ivantys
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Pool CS surely secured, united are so bad here.

    1. Bushwhacker
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      United play like this every week! Just needs one lucky break and officials on their team

  28. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Mc tominay looks the biz

  29. Brosstan
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Robbo almost

  30. Weasel Boy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Think Salah(c) was wrong.
    Gulp.

    1. Jindaljain
      • 11 Years

      Never Give Up
