Diogo Jota (£7.1m) is fine after all, afforded a third successive Premier League start.

Crucially, his latest appearance has not come at the expense of Liverpool’s headline attackers.

Mohamed Salah (£12.6m), Sadio Mané (£11.7m) and Roberto Firmino (£9.0m) all feature as Newcastle come to Anfield.

It is the first time the quartet have shared the pitch together since the second half of the Gameweek 30 win over Arsenal and just the third time all season they have featured together from the beginning.

The last two times were the Gameweek 8 draw with Manchester City, two matches after a Gameweek 6 win against Sheffield United. Across those matches, Firmino, Jota and Salah got the goals for Liverpool.

“There’s a moment where we can do that (start all four of Jota, Salah, Mané and Firmino). All the boys are fit and in a good shape so we have to give it a proper try.” – Jurgen Klopp

Thiago Alcantara (£5.5m) and Georginio Wijnaldum (£5.3m) provide support as a two-man central midfield while Fabinho (£5.4m) remains at centre-back in the absence of Nathaniel Phillips (£4.1m).

Ozan Kabak (£5.0m) makes his fifth-straight Premier League start while Andrew Robertson (£7.1m) and the in-form Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.5m) retain their full-back berths.

Steve Bruce is still urging caution with Callum Wilson (£6.5m) following his recent hamstring injury.

The centre-forward has featured as a substitute in each of his last two Premier League outings and is on the bench for a third match in a row today.

That sees Joelinton (£5.7m) lead the Newcastle line supported by Miguel Almirón (£5.6m) and Allan Saint-Maximin (£5.1m) who has produced 18 points across his last two appearances.

  3. ☈☾
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

        • 14 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

    3. fusen
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Mane crossed it but a Newcastle defender headed it to the other side of the box

      1. Leaf
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

  7. Differentiator
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

  8. Shark Team
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Everyone here acts like Salah won't get 8 PTS max from this match...

    1. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Even after he’s scored 4?

    2. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

    3. JONALDINHO
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      I’ll happily take 8

    4. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      The effect of a 3rd minute goal. But if it had been an 83rd minute goal....

      All about timing 🙂

    5. Maddamotha
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Still a captain success

  9. Old Wulfrunian
    • 9 Years

    No assist?

    1. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Nope .. defender headed cross on ...

  11. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Kabak is a terrible defender

    1. JONALDINHO
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Made 2 quality tackles in his own box but we will forget about that

      1. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Even a blind squirrel finds a nut

        1. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

    1. Nanoelektronicar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      And us cappers are feasting!

        And those of use who ain't are fearing

  14. Mweene
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Well my charge to the top 100 was fun while it lasted.

    Game over!

    1. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Cry me a River with your rank

      1. Cilly Bonnolly
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Bitterness is a great look.

    2. not_astarte
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      have been thinking about you 🙂

  15. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Why is Wilson still not starting, don’t they know they’re in relegation dogfight lol

    1. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      It won't have been their choice

    2. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      They need him to be fit when he gets sold

    3. F_Ivanovic
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      no point risking him in a game they're unlikely to win when they can make sure he's fit for the more important games

      1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Every game is winnable, especially at Anfield this season.
        Look at Fulham

  16. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
    • 14 Years

    ASM could be in a spot of bother here ... walking like a cowboy been in the saddle all day ...

  17. Hughes Your Daddy

    I like when Mo is hungry, though its probably a good thing it's not a late kick off.

    1. Lieutenant Frank Columbo

      Pictured filling up on late night munchies at a petrol station garage as soon as the days fasting finished ... burning those carbs this afternoon ...

        I think he eats a lot of kitchari, my wife makes delicious helpings of it regularly, though I often fire in some meat.

    Has ASM been starring in the new Creed film...
    There are still a few spots left on his body which can be covered in tape.

    1. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
      • 14 Years

  23. Hotdogs for Tea
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    phew ... getting Salah on FH after not owning him since 26 feels warm and fuzzy 🙂

  24. TheBiffas
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Joe willock should start imo

  25. Von Lipwig
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Please take Salah off now. I heard the whole ESL thing was his idea

  26. Party time
    5 years, 3 months ago

    All we are saying... give us Mo goals!

  27. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    By the way how the heck did Kane not drop?! He was on -435% when I looked last night!

    1. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Yeah ... asking myself the same thing .... I cannot fathom that at all????

      1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Hopefully tonight, I was banking on a 0.1 swing in order to buy him back

        1. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Haha ... I’m in exactly the same boat ... thought the -1 was guaranteed last night ... then if he missed the final, another -1 ....

    2. THFC4LIFE

      Pricing is rigged

      1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
        • 9 Years

        Must be, how many transfers and % ownership out?? Lol

        1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          100% rigged

    3. MrZ

      That must be tough Kap!

    4. Nanoelektronicar

      • 11 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      It was reset after the deadline, but I am still surprised how there was no drop.

      1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Could still happen this week I guess

        1. Nanoelektronicar
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          It will be tough if he plays in the final and flag is removed.

    5. Rainer
      • 9 Years

      Flags ft. Manipulation.

    6. g40steve

      Buying again for Sheffield?

      1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        That was the plan, going to be tough now as I’ll have to find an extra 0.1

  28. HashAttack
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Mo can't have food but he can feast on goals

  29. Rainer
    • 9 Years

    This CS ain’t lasting.

  30. JBG
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Come on Salah, one more. And Newcastle score.
