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. Ruinenlust
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      No

  5. Salah’s Sonnet
    • 15 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    HOW has Salah missed that? Jesus he’s bad!!!

  6. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Wonder what a comfortable 2-0 win feels like...

  7. evilfish

    Mané is not his usual self. I've seen him pass to Salah on several occasions!

  8. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    Trent close

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

    Oooooooft Trent close ...

  10. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    😮

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

    Curtis Jones on ... Thiago off

  12. Salah’s Sonnet
    • 15 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Thiago off, good some goals may actually happen now

  13. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Salah 0 BAPs soon.

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      The usual then, as expected

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

    Could have been a monster score. These are the worst type of FPL games

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Wait till Newcastle score...

  15. Old Man
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Who would have thought, after that start, that the score would still be the same after 77 minutes?

  16. Moderately content penguin
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Fab 2 next time?

  17. Ruinenlust
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    BAP system is stupid. Salah should be on 3

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

      It really is. If its a world class save he would lose baps. The sky system is better, bonus for shots on target, thats clearly a star strikers aim for as well.

    2. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      It’s always been flawed. A joke really

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

      2 massive misses...

    4. Moderately content penguin
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Why?

      Wasteful as ever. And the game would be way poorer if the goal scorers automatically got double rewarded. Might as well just add 2 points for goals.

    This season Foden is better player than Salah by mile

    1. Pep bites Kun
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      If Foden was guaranteed mins, we'd be on him like a pitbull on a labradoodle

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

    Greedy Mane ... again.

  20. HonestBlatter
    • 15 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Mane couldn't finish to empty net

  21. FPL_Motty
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Honestly Liverpool deserve to concede on this performance. Feel like they're not taking it seriously, Newcastle would deserve a last min equaliser

    1. HonestBlatter
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      It's coming...

    2. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      They really are shocking

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

      Newcastle don’t deserve a goal but Liverpool deserve to concede one, if you get me...

  22. not_astarte

    Dubravka with 6 saves this is crazy.

  23. Hybrid.power
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Give me my Trent goal

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

    I've bet on both Newcastle to score a goal and Salah to score another. So I'm firmly getting out from behind the sofa now, not that bothered if I win money but lose out in FPL points.

  25. Bank$y

    Dubravka MOTM performance of the season here. I tip my hat to anyone who captained him... there must be one.

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Nobody has

      1. Bank$y
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        FPL confirmed? That's surprising. I thought maybe at least one of those 'one week' cheat teams would have him.

      All away keepers perform at Anfield

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

    3 - Robertson (35)
    2 - Dubravka (27)
    1 - Alexander-Arnold, Alisson (25)

    Salah (24)
    Kabak (23)
    Fabinho (18)

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Yep, figures

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

      Salah allergic to BAPS

  27. HashAttack

    Jota has been a terrible player for me this season - played 3 times, 4 points in total - benched twice for 3 points total

    1. HonestBlatter
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Das Echte trap it is

  28. Saka White Rice
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    How did Jota play?

    A) Bad
    B) Terrible
    C) Unlucky
    D) Oh I didn't notice he played

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

      who is Jota?

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

      B with plenty of chances

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

    can sense a Wilson equalizer incoming

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

    Salah and Trent booted out of the baps ffs.
