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.

    Liverpool and Chelsea to miss top 4 for Arsenal and United would be my guess

    1. Saka Punch
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Maybe Newcastle tbh

      1. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        True

    2. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Still not convinced by Spurs. They lack depth.

    3. Mambino
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      it's possible

    4. lilmessipran
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Honestly Newcastle could be right up there as well

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

    Surely a card for this? Dangerous play

  3. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years

    Bentacur will get a hattrick next week ...

  4. Saka Punch
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Salah + Foden -> KdB & Almiron(-4) just reactive?

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I might do the same tbh

    2. Ser Davos
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I looked at this

  5. gooberman
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Its ok Liverpool fans don't worry because we have the lethal James Milner on the pitch!

    1. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years

      😆

  6. Fabreghastly
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Robbo should go - could have stepped over

  7. HD7
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    WC team full of Liverpool and Arsenal seemed so sensible... it seemed

  8. El Presidente
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Liverpool is an embarrassment

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

    Virgil van Dijk needs a reality check, wtf was that!

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      He's been very poor of late for his standard

    2. DMP
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Balon D’Or

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

  13. Thanos
    • 4 Years

  14. Nomar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    If you can't beat this Leeds team at home then you really do have some serious problems.

    1. PartyTime
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      They don’t even deserve European Conference League

  15. El Presidente
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    If VVD is the best CB in the PL ...

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

      Saliba says hello!

    2. Paul Psychic Octopus
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      He isn't.
      Not any more.

    3. Bounce
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Saliba is

  16. DRIZ ✅
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Nunez had 3 clear chances. Gets 0 of course

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Nunez get out of your team?

  17. DycheDycheBaby
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Henderson what a clown, shooting from there..

  18. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Salah to KDB looks an easy move

    1. lilmessipran
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Not for those who are stuck with Foden

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Not easy when you've already got 3 MCI

      1. Paul Psychic Octopus
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        It is if you have 2FTs

        1. Magic Zico
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Very big if for many

    3. sulldaddy
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Yup. That is my plan. Brought in Salah for this match. Do not expect to roster him again all season.

    4. DycheDycheBaby
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      You mean very difficult

  19. el polako
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Wonder if Klopp will blame weather this time?

    1. PartyTime
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      It is obvious. Nunez is a scam!

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

      Too good for an October evening

  20. PartyTime
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Nunez killed this game

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      He is, isn't he? Can this guy actually finish ...

  21. El Presidente
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Liverpool is 8 pts behind 4th place.. LOL

  22. HD7
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    WC teams crashed. I hoped that this GW there will be compensation for last week. Oh well...

  23. TheBiffas
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Deary me... Time to get pissed

  24. Tcheco
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    They'll bounce back next week against Conte's horrid Spurs

  25. FantasyTony
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Liverpool are actually just long ball merchants at this point.

  26. Mozumbus
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    2 FTs
    A. Salah + Toney > Bowen if fit + Kane
    B. Salah + Foden > KDB + Bowen if fit
    Thanks

  27. el polako
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Beaten back to back by Championship teams.
    Lol at Liverpool.

  28. JBG
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Remember when they compared Nunez with Haaland during pre season? Now that was some funny ish.

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

      Both strikers.
      Both big money signings.
      Both will help Man City win the league

    2. DMP
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      C mon. Salah scored 40 per season. This season even he cant find his score boots. Nunez scored more in less minutes.

      Nunez at City scored as many as Halland.

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

        Not a fair comparison.

    3. sulldaddy
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Remember the community shield game?

  29. Totalfootball
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Happy with 14 ?
    @salah cappers?

    1. el polako
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      After this game, they should be.

    2. PartyTime
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Not happy but will take it. Better than Kane’s 2 pts

    3. Cok3y5murf
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      No. Way below my standards

    4. Kannbury
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Would prefer Wilson's 38, but will take 14.

  30. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Why people angry at salah, did a lot better than Kane and nearly matched Kevin, they should be thankful for the goal

    1. JBG
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I agree should be feeling lucky that he scored at all.

    2. Herger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Disappointing compared to Saka’s hat-trick tomorrow though
