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.

    First time I've benched Soucek all season - now I know the pain. This is why I hate having all that KDB money spare and improving bench options. Benched Wilson last week, now Soucek.

    1. Paqueta Rice
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

  10. Paqueta Rice
    • 5 Years

  16. sminkypinky

    5 years, 6 months ago

    I really really need to get rid of Robbo. This is ridiculous. So is Soucek. And me for making these calls.
    Shouldn’t have watched. Too tired and not taking these thing well enough. Flippin frustrated actually.

  17. MikeS
    • 11 Years

    Soucek essential

  18. Fer Fuch's Ake

    I wish Team budget cap was halved for this year, so many headaches chasing misfiring premium picks

    5 years, 6 months ago

    Was going to bring in a defender to replace my Dias, Cancelo, and Stones trio. Looks like I will have to revert my initial plan and play the three at Anfield.

    1. Elly88 > KTR (Kevin The …
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      That defender was Justin after selling Mitchell.

  20. The 12th Man
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Come on Brighton.

  21. BobbyV
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Lingard...wow

  22. Nomar
    • 16 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Salah not a reliable captain pick anymore.

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

    Antonio so close

    1. Duke Silver ☑
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      He tends to do that.

    2. WVA
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      So close but then lady luck realised I have him

  24. WVA
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Only Grealish can save me, I have him, all my rivals have Soucek!

    1. sminkypinky
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Me too

  25. MoSalad
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Need 1 goal from Salah to save my dreams in the Cup, but nope nothing. Surely Pool won’t lose 2 at home on the bounce.

  26. MagicMessi
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Lol @ Liverpool and Salah

  27. Fer Fuch's Ake
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Foden --> Lingard done

  28. One More Hit
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    My missus’ team has 92 points as it stands, missing another 15 from Justin stuck on the bench. Not bad considering there’s several million tied up in a non-playing Kane

  29. djman102
    • 17 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Alonso, then Cahill, now Lingard. Have we gone back in FPL Time?

  30. Phlajo
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Rival benched Justin Soucek and Coufal 🙂
