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.

    That’s it, had enough, Soucek is being sold along with Robbo tonight. What a joke this season is

    1. MagicMessi
      • 14 Years

    2. mojoindojo
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

  6. Saka White Rice
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Ive lost count on the amount of times I've had Soucek on the bench when he's got points anyone else on the same boat?

    1. mojoindojo
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Unlikely

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

    3. Utopsis
      • 6 Years

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

        Benched Cresswell and Soucek, played Grealish and Watkins

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

          Yikes

    • 14 Years

    Lingardinho was no joke as most thought.

  8. MikeS
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Budge midfield:

    Soucek-gundogan-saka-maddison-barnes

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

      You can get TAA & Robertson

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

        Lol..

    2. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Needs Raphinha

  9. TheDragon
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Owning Liverpool defence is so so ridiculous. Concede less than 1 big chance a game and ALWAYS concede 1 goal

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

      13rd game they concede exactly one goal

  10. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Injuries really catching up on Liverpool lately, Mane a massive miss all over the pitch.

    Can’t compete at the top with 6/11 starters injured/playing out of position.

  11. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Salah coming off ... he’s done it before?

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

      It doesn't matter he can't score

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

      Firmino like an old granny get his leg up there 😆

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

    Now do you see why I have four red arrows in a row with this team?

    Martinez
    Cancelo Stones Dallas
    Salah Bruno Son Grealish Gundogan
    Bamford Antonio
    Johnstone Coufal KWP Brewster

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Not really. Looks like bad (c) choices.

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

        Salah Bruno Gundogan Salah aren't exactly bad choices

    2. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Nope, cap pick is the problem

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

        Salah Gundo Bruno Salah KDB Son, hardly bad picks just unlucky as usual

    3. Scots Gooner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      The majority if that team returned this week.

      Poor captaincy choices, thats all.

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

        See above, they aren't poor choices it's all just luck

        1. Scots Gooner
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          Captaincy is 90% luck.

  13. Defcons are for Kinnear
    • 13 Years
