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.

    Fabianski, Coufal and Soucek on bench. Nice

    1. TRIPOS TOPPER
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      bit early to call the first two

      WH could easily concede

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

        Agree, that's why I played Martinez and Watkins for the fact they're Home. Just to notice all today's games ended with Away teams winning.

    2. Fudgy
      • 6 Years

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

        Home and away made the decision for me honestly.

    4. MagicMessi

    I never want to (c) anyone, they never score points. It's unreal that they never do.

    Liverpool could be out of the title race if they lose tonight and vs. Man City at the weekend

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

      There’s no race this year, lol.

      A
      Man City will beat Liverpool

    My captain seems to fail without exception these days

    1. Jimmy Boy
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      My record for captaincy since around November is absolutely horrendous. All the stats and logic can point to a certain player but every single week whichever bloke I pick manages to pull off a two-pointer nowadays.

  12. lordkippe
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    So annoying with Salah cap

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

    Liverpool so bad FFS

  14. dshv
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Next week

    Dcl and robbo on the bench for coufal and soucek ...

  15. Offside Trapattoni
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Soucek is Czech for someone who only scores points when benched, he blanked the DGW and benched him vs Palace then blanked again last week. Unbelievable this guy.

    1. TRIPOS TOPPER
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      just play him every week and take the headache out

      your 8th attacker should be someone worse than him to make the decision out of it

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      57 points so far in the last 7 games.

    So is it a collective Captain failure on here?
