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.

    2. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

    3. REDMOND IN SANDALS
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      getting Jota over Greenwood in GW31 has been a disaster, to say the least

  2. Maddamotha
    • 9 Years

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

    Salah (C) + Jota should both be on huge scorers right now.

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

    This game last season could have been 10-0

    Newcastle so open

  7. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years

  8. Cousin Greg

  9. not_astarte
    • 5 Years

  10. S.Kuqi
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    Painful as a Mane owner

  11. Karan_G14
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    Should have had 50 points from Salah(c), Jota & Trent atleast till now!

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

      Mane ruining everything us. Pain

      1. Gudjohnsen
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 12 months ago

        Same

  12. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    Jota smiling

    1. MrZ
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      Maybe he's glad he's not the only one who wasteful

  13. Kellz86
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    Mane wide

  14. Gudjohnsen
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    Jota, Salah and Mané all wasteful today.

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

    Another big chance created by Trent, messed up by the main man himself Mane

  16. HonestBlatter
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    WastingGALORE...pelase finish'em Salah and Jota

  17. MrZ
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    Cmon Jota 1 goal before HT so you can play 90 min

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

      Off for milner at half time guaranteed

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

        This

      2. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 12 months ago

        Annoying as an owner, but he doesn’t derseve another 45 minutes today.

  18. Bobby Digital
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    TAA only 20% ownership.... Let's goo!

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

    Salah from 26 down to 22 in bonus point system

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      He won't get any bonus points without another attacking return

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

    Quite polarising the difference between Trent and Robbo in the first and second half of the season!

  21. Gudjohnsen
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    Jota has been terrible today

    Almost as terrible as Mané

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

      Yup. Benched vs Man U ... can’t have someone that impotent starting against a decent team.

  22. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    Come on trent my son, show them how it’s done

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

      He looks hungry doesn’t he, he’s due a free kick goal...

    2. JBG
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      You spelled Shelvey wrong.

  23. Cilly Bonnolly
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    Only listening to the talksport commentary but it sounds like Liverpool should be about five up here.

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

      Should be 5-2

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

        Would be if Jota want a pretend footballer.

  24. aborg
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    Liverpool wasting too many clear cut chances !
    They will risk conceding a goal now.

    1. Moderately content penguin
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      Kabak is poor enough for that to happen - can see him getting another yellow. He doesn't have what it takes to play in this system.

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

        Same thoughts !

  25. My heart goes Salalalalah
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    TAA nowhere to be seen in baps race

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

      Wait til 60th minute

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

      He hasn't even got his cs yet

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

        Would be surprised if he gets a CS ... wasteful Liverpool likely to be punished.

      2. HonestBlatter
        • 15 Years
        4 years, 12 months ago

        and won't get it since this will end 1-1

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

    Mane has been shocking

  27. Bobby Digital
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    Mane so clinical... Noot.

  28. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    Calum will rip this defence to shreds.

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

    Thiago looks so much better in a 2 in midfield

  30. Pompel
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    Having capped Nacho , feeling nervous before second half now
