    Plenty of discussion over Haaland potentially being benched due to hectic upcoming schedule, understandably.

    Salah has he similar schedule and Carvalho looked decent. Does anyone expect him to be benched by any chance?

    The truth is any player who has CL or Europa league fixture could easily be rotated.

      Salah's much less likely though. Plus Pep has already confirmed Haaland will be rotated in busy periods.

        I know it’s less likely but looking Liverpool upcoming next 5-6 games, Newcastle looks better fixture to rest him tbh. So it’s all a bit guess work for all players really

    Thinking about Haaland, I think he will be rested on Saturday
    This is based on the fixtures. Can’t see him not starting Sevilla, Spurs and Dortmund games.

    Wed: Forest H
    Sat: Villa A
    Tues: Sevilla A
    Sat: Spurs H
    Wed: Dortmund H

        It's a shame because he's a good keeper, but he's stuck being a shockingly awful defence that means he has no chance of not conceding.

      I am actually not averse to a No Salah WC any more. I think Diaz could well be the iteration of Mane.

      If I was going No Salah I'd definitely be putting Diaz in there.
