Liverpool are without their first-choice goalkeeper for their Gameweek 22 meeting with Brighton.

Alisson (£5.9m) misses the Wednesday-night encounter with an illness, as reported by the Reds before kick-off.

That makes for a second Premier League start of the season for Caoimhin Kelleher (£4.5m) with Adrian (£4.2m) named on the bench.

With Sadio Mané (£11.9m) still on the sidelines, Mohamed Salah‘s (£12.6m) start in Liverpool’s front-line could see him drift into a more central role with Roberto Firmino (£9.5m) with Xherdan Shaqiri (£6.4m) earning his fourth start in the last five league games.

None of Liverpool’s new centre-backs make it into the starting XI just yet, leaving Jurgen Klopp to pair Jordan Henderson (£5.4m) with Nathaniel Phillips (£4.0m) once again – although Ben Davies (£5.0m) is on the bench tonight.

Joël Veltman (£4.3m) is the latest defensive absentee for Brighton, who are forced to deploy Ben White (£4.4m) as a right wing-back with Tariq Lamptey (£4.6m) also on the sidelines.

Dan Burn (£4.2m) and Adam Webster (£4.4m) join Lewis Dunk (£4.8m) in the back-three while Steven Alzate (£4.3m), Yves Bissouma (£4.4m) and Pascal Groß (£5.8m) are the central midfield trio.

West Ham have shuffled the pack for their visit to Aston Villa with Jarrod Bowen (£6.2m) dropping to the bench as Jesse Lingard (£5.9m) makes his debut for the Hammers.

Ryan Fredericks (£4.2m) comes into the side but not at the expense of Vladimir Coufal (£4.7m), suggesting he is joining Lingard and Saïd Benrahma (£6.0m) in an attacking midfield role behind Michail Antonio (£6.6m), who has registered attacking returns in three of his last four matches.

Aston Villa are almost exactly as they were, with the exception of Anwar El Ghazi (£5.6m) coming in for Bertrand Traoré (£5.9m).

Leeds and Everton are already in Gameweek 22, their game kicking off at 19:30 BST.

    DCL 3 BAPS feels like a goal and assist with no BAPS right?

    1. Duke Silver ☑
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Should've been 3 goals if he was a half decent finisher.

      1. Elly88 > KTR (Kevin The …
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Still good considering that he will get 9 points instead of a classic 2 pointer for such a waster.

  5. Ibralicious
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Both my strikers DCL and Bamford going back and forth exchanging missed sitters here. Amazing to watch, thrilling stuff 😀

    DCL still on for 3 bonus after missed big chance - undeserved but I’ll take it

    1. The 12th Man
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Was still a shot on target saved by the keeper.

      1. Duke Silver ☑
        • 11 Years

  7. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years

    1. The 12th Man
      • 12 Years

        • 15 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        clear and obvious breaking up play. Things like that should be punished more.

          • 12 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          Yellow card

      Said no-one.

    2. Duke Silver ☑
      • 11 Years

    3. The 12th Man

    • 12 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Any word on when Mr FPL is back?

  13. how now brown cow
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Bissouma more likely to score than salah.

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      How now?

  14. Hiddenpaw
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Anyone know what happened to the 4th official in the Everton game? Love seeing Duncan Ferguson holding up the subs board hahahaha!!!

    1. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Big dunk was hungry. 4th official made a tasty snack.

  15. BremerHB
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Raphinha has been absolutely everywhere this evening.

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

    Salah captain.

    This will be 11 captain blanks in a row. I'm making FFS history here, folks.

    1. Elly88 > KTR (Kevin The …
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      This is the result of chasing points. One rule, I myself use is not focusing on the player to captain but the side with a ad habit of conceding in like 3 (or sometimes 4) previous games. An example is Bruno this week with Southampton.

  17. Threat Level Midnight
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Mo coming on

  18. TomSaints
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    This Leeds v Everton game has been immense. Played at 110mph

    1. The Mighty Hippo
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      It's a really good result for Everton if they can hold on.

    2. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      No points for Leeds though.

    3. The Point About It Is
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Best game i have seen in a long while - great commitment from both sides.

  19. Ange Ball
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Justin to Dallas swap off bench cost me 14pts anyone else benched Justin? This season must lost at least 60-80 points like this.

    1. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Don’t, I made the same benching error hoping Dallas in midfield would be the right call. Justin wagging his finger at me from my bench.

    2. Dirty Harry
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Only 60-80... I'm in triple digits for sure haha

  20. TheBiffas
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

  21. Ibralicious
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Did anyone spot Salah warming up yet?

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      He's picking Bruno as captain in his team

  22. KUN+10
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    60 points and a red arrow...this game is brutal

  23. Scots Gooner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    At least Salah's helping to solve next weeks benching headache for us all.

  24. Lovren an elevator
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Why has Hames got dropped?

    1. KUN+10
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

  25. AzzaroMax99
    • 9 Years

  26. Sun Jihai

    Martinez CS busted

  27. how now brown cow
