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.

      1. Leaf
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        4 years, 12 months ago

  8. Shark Team
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

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

    1. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      Even after he’s scored 4?

    2. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years

    4. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 12 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

  11. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    Kabak is a terrible defender

    1. JONALDINHO
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

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

      1. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 12 months ago

        Even a blind squirrel finds a nut

    • Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

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

      1. TheBiffas
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 12 months ago

        It won't have been their choice

      2. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 12 months ago

        They need him to be fit when he gets sold

      3. F_Ivanovic
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 12 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. Scapegoat Salah
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 12 months ago

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

    • Lieutenant Frank Columbo

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

    • Hughes Your Daddy

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

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

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

    • TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      Joe willock should start imo

    • Von Lipwig
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

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

    • Party time
        4 years, 12 months ago

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

      • Scapegoat Salah

        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
          4 years, 12 months ago

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

          1. Scapegoat Salah
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 12 months ago

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

            1. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
              • 14 Years
              4 years, 12 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 ....

        3. MrZ

          That must be tough Kap!

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 12 months ago

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

          1. Scapegoat Salah
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 12 months ago

            Could still happen this week I guess

            1. Nanoelektronicar
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 11 Years
              4 years, 12 months ago

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

        5. Rainer
          • 9 Years

          Flags ft. Manipulation.

          1. Scapegoat Salah
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 12 months ago

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

      • HashAttack
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 12 months ago

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

      • Rainer
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 12 months ago

        This CS ain’t lasting.

      • JBG
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 12 months ago

        Come on Salah, one more. And Newcastle score.
