The final Premier League match of the day is an unusual 7.45pm BST kick-off and sees Liverpool entertain struggling Leeds United.

Erling Haaland has almost had the monopoly on the Fantasy Premier League (FPL) captaincy for the last couple of months but an old armband favourite, Mohamed Salah, will be carrying the hopes of legions of FPL bosses tonight.

Over 1.25 million managers made Salah their skipper outright ahead of Saturday’s deadline but there’ll be plenty of others who are relying on the Egyptian as their vice-captain after Haaland’s earlier no-show.

Salah starts as expected this evening and, if Jurgen Klopp is sticking with the 4-4-2 diamond he used at Ajax in midweek, FPL’s most expensive asset will again be playing through the middle of the hosts’ attack alongside Darwin Nunez.

The Reds’ side is about as full strength as Klopp can go this evening, with Thiago Alcantara recovering from an ear infection to start.

He takes the place of Jordan Henderson, who drops to the bench.

Leeds are without the injured Luis Sinisterra but the myriad other first-teamers who were yellow-flagged for this match are mostly fit, with Rodrigo, Liam Cooper, Tyler Adams and Joe Gelhardt all making the matchday squad.

Adams is one of three players recalled by Jesse Marsch for this one, with Crysencio Summerville and Rasmus Kristensen also getting the nod.

Luke Ayling and Sam Greenwood drop to the bench.

    "If we can somehow play at our best" - Jesse Marsch

    Doesn't fill you with confidence

    Potter used the wrong spell 🙁

    1. A. PRISE
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      How can he concede 4 goals to a team he himself built. And that's in addition to the fact that he now manages a much improved squad

    Need about 20 points from Robertson to salvage this miserable gameweek.

  4. Pukki Party

    I'm very excited for this game

    1. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Well when you know there’s 9 Goal involvements for Salah it’s natural

    2. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Ditto

    3. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Salah non-(c)er spotted

  5. Bobby Digital
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Let's go Mo!

  6. UKG
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Ok, who needs a Salah master class now…200k to 400k this afternoon. 25 points. Terrible.

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

    Who's your captaincy on?

    On the origin of spe(c)ies

      Salah...

      1. Deulofail
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        No, It's Darwin!

  8. Gamst - Up (?) the Rovers
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    There was a time when that was a bare minimum from him. These are the times of triple Newcastle. Alas, the times are changing.

      • 16 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Reply fail to Robbo scoring 20.

  9. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON

    How are people doing here? I am on 24 with 6 to go. Salah cap. Foden 1 pointer and Kepa's 0 hurting big time.

    1. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Just waiting on a delivery of naan bread they forgot with the meal, except I'm already stuffed on what I ate without the naan bread. 29 with 6 to go. Buying Kane for Haaland (benching Andreas) hurting small time.

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

        What type of naan?

        1. Deulofail
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Estupi

      2. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Keep them wrapped in the fridge. Sprinkle some water and heat in a microwave for a minute whenever you wsnt to eat.

        1. Deulofail
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          I don't have a microwave, I'm not a king!

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

          This. But drench them in water … I mean DRENCH .. and in preheated oven for 3-4 mins ..

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

      51 with 4 and captain still to go … expecting first green in 4 weeks

      1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Excellent

    3. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      22, 6 to go, including Salah C

      1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Similar. Do well!

    4. BeaversWithAttitude

      Good week for me. 72 with three to play, and bonus points to come. I needed the boost, for sure.

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

        Things we don’t want to hear 🙂

    Inspired choice of Wilson captain getting me up into top 40k

    1. Scrumper
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Love it - well done, take a bow. That's what FPL is about.

      I'm on 23 for 6!

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

        59 so far, just wish I'd caught Foden to Saka in time

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

      Well done … he was my VC …

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

    Mitro not getting a penalty earlier is a real sickener. Guy right behind me in biggest money league (200 for top at Xmas) has Pickford and me Mitro. Unbelievable swing!!

    1. Gamst - Up (?) the Rovers
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      You can't beat a guy with Pickford in goal?

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

        Lol. Random enough selection, you're right.

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Be grateful the penalty wasn't saved.

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

        There is that side of it. . . 😆

  12. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Which one would you choose?

    1) Zaha to Almiron/Tross, bench Mitro
    2) Andreas to Almiron, bench Zaha and Mitro

    Also doing Toney to Wilson so maybe Tross over Almiron?

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

      I was thinking of moving Wilson out so I could get Almiron in, but I think Wilson is so hungry for goals he wants this World Cup

    Four one Liverpool to win over Leeds United who will march home at the railway station when Everton fans return.

    Overime for British Transport Police I guess?!

    1. Alan The Llama
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Liverpool and Everton fans don't cause trouble. They're all just happy to be scousers together.

    Salah not scored yet?

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

    Very slow defensive line for Leeds, they will probably sit back or get battered

  16. Mr. O'Connell
    • 13 Years

    Salah (c) fail

    1. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
