Liverpool are without the services of Sadio Mane (£11.9m) for their match against West Ham United this afternoon, which kicks off at 16:30 GMT.

The Senegalese winger, who was transferred in by over 130,000 Fantasy Premier League managers following his 15-point haul in Gameweek 20, misses out with what Liverpool say is a “minor muscle injury”.

The Reds add that the problem is “expected to be only a short-term issue”.

His manager added ahead of kick-off:

In fact, only one of the Reds’ regular front three makes Jurgen Klopp’s starting XI today.

Mohamed Salah (£12.5m) is joined in the reigning champions’ attacking trident by Divock Origi (£5.2m) and Xherdan Shaqiri (£6.4m), with Roberto Firmino (£9.4m) only among the substitutes.

Along with the two changes to his front three, Klopp has replaced the injured Joel Matip (£5.4m) with Nat Phillips (£4.0m) at centre-half.

The Hammers are unchanged from the side that won 3-2 at Crystal Palace and David Moyes has even named the same nine substitutes from that victory.


West Ham United XI: Fabianski, Coufal, Dawson, Ogbonna, Cresswell, Rice, Soucek, Fornals, Bowen, Benrahma, Antonio.

Liverpool XI: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Phillips, Henderson, Robertson, Wijnaldum, Milner, Thiago, Shaqiri, Salah, Origi.

    5. Shatner's Bassoon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Thought my defense was dire this week. Turns out it's ailing.

    6. FPL ElasticO
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Should you transfer in?

      Bamford for Brewster
      Or
      Hold my FT

      1. Bushwhacker
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Bamford has chance of jam, Brewster has none

        1. FPL ElasticO
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          That means Soucek on bench...

    7. Kodap
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      74 with Dier left to play, what's everyone else on?

      1. Champions League Varane
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        79 with 0 to go

      2. Bushwhacker
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Less jam

      3. DandyDon
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Dier was benched. Good sub coming in?

      4. Utopsis
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Dier is benched 🙁

        I have him too - on 79 (-4) with Son

      5. FourLokoLeipzig
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Ouch, that post backfired! Probably not what you want to hear, but it’s been coming. Hope you’ve got a decent sub and a spare FT at least?..

    8. Hect.OR 98th
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      62 with Son to go, 2 FTs and 6m ITB. 14 green arrows in 15 weeks and I'm into the top 1m for the first time this season. What a slog it's been.

      Happy days.

      1. Weasel Boy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Nice

    9. DandyDon
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      19 points of the bench! Bamford and Cresswell.
      In my defence if Stones and Mitchell would have started that would have been 12 points anyway after their teams Clean Sheets so feel its justified!

      1. Bushwhacker
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Pump up the jam

    10. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      So everyone captaining Salah next week then?

      1. 7shadesofsmoke
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        hes rested next week

      2. Capocannonieri
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Looks like it

        Even With a decent chance he gets rested

    11. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Wouldnt be surprised if Salah gets rested vs Brighton

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Cleary Mané only missing out due to a knock.

        Salah finally has his mojo back. Klopp won't disrupt that.

    12. CrouchDown
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      75 all out.

      Not sure how to feel - so many 1 pts

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Oh dude come off it.

      2. The Ilfordian
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Feel good. It doesn’t matter how you get there, that’s a good score.

      3. Bushwhacker
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Jamtastic

      4. SM001

      5. DandyDon
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

    13. Capocannonieri
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Does Klopp rest Salah vs Brighton?

      Seems wrong to pull him while hot

      1. Pep Roulette
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        I don't think so. But there's a chance with City next.

      2. Weasel Boy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Wouldn't be surprised

    14. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      41 (-8) all out. Disgusting.

      DCL (2) > Bamford (15)
      Robbo (2) > Digne (1)

      Both -4s. Yuck!

      1. SM001
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        I'm on 38 with Son left. Sold Bamford for DCL. Hug?

      2. KunDogan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks for sharing, 32 with Son to go, did Bamford to Watkins. Salah goals are the only returns this week, what a nightmare from the start...

        1. Hazz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          It's easier to stomach than the knobjockeys feeling disappointed with 70+ points this week.

          Absolute state of them.

          1. KunDogan
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Agreed!

        Lost Robbo cleansheet at the death

        Worst wk in a long while.

    15. The Red Devil
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Oh damn, Kane not playing, step up sir Patrick Bamford from the bench

    16. Pep Roulette
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Coufal to Dawson?

    17. camarozz
      • 11 Years

      1. 7shadesofsmoke
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        why stop at the legs?

        I can slide through a toilet roll tube if i grease the inside a little

        1. Whazza
          • 13 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

        1. Old Wulfrunian
          • 9 Years

          1. Mr. O'Connell
            • 13 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Damn.

      2. Bushwhacker
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Lots of jam this week

      3. HaveYassineChikhaoui
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        That Cresswell assist changed me from going up to 24k to now going down to 35k, fine margins.

    20. OverTinker
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Cancelo, Chilwel, Stones and DDG benched.
      Wilson to DDG for a hit.
      Yet finishes with 74 all out.
      Yesterday went down to 125k from 90k and now at 58k.
      This is game is all about captaincy.

      1. OverTinker
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        *wilson to DCl

    21. The Red Devil
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Was considering Dawson when I bought coufal, not getting these 50/50 calls correct

    22. pjomara
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Happy enough with the gw
      Cresswell subs in for Chilwell
      Dallas subs in for Stones
      Salah (c)
      Wilson and Bamford

    23. WE GO FOR IT
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Out of the cup with that West Ham goal. But given how it was looking before this game, happy to cross 50. Looked like I would be trailing by 60/70 in the ML after cutting it back to 30 this year. But it's just in the 40s now. Should be in LMS as well. So, not as bad a week as I thought!

    24. estheblessed
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      My back 3

      Stones, Cancello, Dier

      Haha! Still I think I'll end up with 73 points. Not too shabby.

    25. dark91
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Cup opponent: 56 + Son (4 goals)
      Me: 53 + Son (c) (5 goals)

      All I am asking for is for Son to play +60 mins and get a cs point

    26. Jive Turkey
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Me: 72 -4, so 68 points with bench boost played and 5 goals scored in my team
      Cup opponent: flat 68 points no hits, 4 goals scored in his team

      I go through to next round right?

    27. jason_ni
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Took a -4 to bring in chillwell for zouma.

      And have still somehow ended up on 88 after hits, with sonny to go.

      Bring on the ton son(for only 2nd time this season!)

      1. Galza
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Great score. Well played!

        1. jason_ni
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Cheers.. its been a slow grind, but looks like I might finish gw in top 150k, after being at 1mill in gw 17!

    28. Rollercoaster
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I'm 2pts ahead and we both have Son as C, was tight because of Salah haul, my opponent took -4, couldn't feel better

    29. Calculated Risks
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      55 points on bench last 2 weeks...anyone top that? (doesn't matter if u got the points)

      1. jason_ni
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        61 points benched this gw and last.. probably more than I've got rest of season combined!
