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.

  4. Kryptonite666

    Thinking of Gundogan to Rashford for a 2 week punt

    Gundogan plays LIV TOT
    Rashford plays EVE WBA

    Thoughts?

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

      No.. gundogan plays loserpool, easy defence to score against. Even Brighton are winning

      are you watching Liverpool? City should be able to pick them apart

  5. PogChamp

    The way to break the captain jinx is to perma captain. I did that with Sterling and its gone ok, despite the - 1.

  6. Party time
    5 years, 6 months ago

    I can’t believe it.

    How can Salah blank vs Brighton

    1. TOPCAT1960
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Im afraid Potter has parked the bus ...giving pool no space and lots of pressing. Credit to the segulls really. Salah (C) by the way.

  7. Camzy

    Well it seems I was right to not back Liverpool for this game and not cap Salah. But annoying that in a week to gain ground I picked Cancelo over Fernandes as the differential cap.

    Come on Brighton, hold out!

    1. Optimus.
      • 15 Years

      Luckily for us all that Cancelo didn't haul

    Can people stop acting like Liverpool have all of a sudden become terrible for no reason whatsover. Their success was built on Anfield. Always struggled away from home and with no crowds it’s like that every game. The two games we had with a crowd we beat Wolves 4-0 and Leicester 3-0 comprehensively. Not only that but there missing Van Dijk, Gomez, Matip and Fabinho. It’s like City without Dias, Stones, Laporte and Ake. They’d be done out there. That’s not mentioning the constant injuries like Mane and Alisson being out today

    1. AC/DC AFC

    The sad thing is that Brighton will win tonight then go and play some crap like Fulham or West Brom and concede 3.

  26. Parsnips
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago
