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.

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 26 days ago

      Raphinha has very low ownership. He ain't your problem.

  6. Party time
      5 years, 26 days ago

      Liverpool can’t even defeat Brighton at Anfield

      1. Dthinger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 26 days ago

        because they were not playing against Man United

    • The 12th Man

      • Saka Punch

        Thinking City double defence is ok for next week after all

        1. brianutd-why always we? 20
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 26 days ago

          Attacking threat too

      • FPL Scoop

        • 9 Years
        5 years, 26 days ago

        Legit can’t win with captaincy. Blank after blank when everyone else hauls

        1. RAFA THE GAFFA
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 26 days ago

          See below. My vice is out scoring my captain weekly. Cruel

      • RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 26 days ago

        Anyone got any advice on how to pick a captain? I’m on such a bad streak

        1. brianutd-why always we? 20
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 26 days ago

          Nope

        2. Dthinger
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 26 days ago

          just leave it on Salah.

        3. tbos83
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 26 days ago

          Avoid the favourite

        4. Hazz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 26 days ago

          Not going with the most popular captain on from the masses on here seems to be a good place to start.

          1. RAFA THE GAFFA
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 26 days ago

            Do you think fixture plays a bit part in the captain picks on here?

            Should we just start to ignore fixtures?

            Need to try gain some sort of logic to it

            1. Hazz
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 8 Years
              5 years, 26 days ago

              Obviously yes

        5. Sun Jihai
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 26 days ago

          Target weak defences

      • MikeS
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 26 days ago

        Grealish to soucek?

        1. Salah’s Sonnet
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 26 days ago

          I’m selling Soucek

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 26 days ago

            I will play him for his inevitable Fulham blank, then sell.

      • Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        5 years, 26 days ago

        What a game. Dan Burn with more 1v1s than Salah.

      • Rainer
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 26 days ago

        Liverpool denied stone wall pen in Manchester.

      • Jimmy Boy
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 26 days ago

        Trust Mo Salah to ruin my GW twice in a row, first by being everyone else's captain last week and then by being my captain this week

      • AzzaroMax99
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 26 days ago

        Salah to Son(C) seems obvious?

        1. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 26 days ago

          I going Sterling to son (c)

          Just go Bruno and save yourself some stress again.

      • Davros
        • 16 Years

        I don’t understand Liverpool this season

        1. Rainer
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 26 days ago

          Cursed with injuries.

          1. Threat Level Midnight
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 26 days ago

            Blame the injuries

            1. Rainer
              • 9 Years
              5 years, 26 days ago

              Only reason you’re above 😆

              Hope you enjoyed being too for two weeks!

              1. Threat Level Midnight
                • 7 Years
                5 years, 26 days ago

                There are so many other factors. You sound just like the Pool fans in ML group chat. No concept of reality and entitled little babies just like your manager. 1 season wonder as expected. 🙂

        2. Bob_the_builder
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 26 days ago

          Don't know how defensive injuries messed up their attack.

        3. Salan
          • 16 Years
          5 years, 26 days ago

          Rigged games. It's the only explanation

          And until Kane or KDB come back there is nobody I really want.

          Martinez
          Shaw Cancelo Stones Chillwell
          Bruno Salah Son Gundogan
          Antonio DCL
