Liverpool v Leeds team news: Darwin and Salah start

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.

      Yeah so did I. Oh well. We don't know how that Leicester game goes with Haaland starting.

        True but would he have done better than Salah's hatrick? 🙂

      Not sure what pass this is exactly.
      Had Haaland been playing we'd probably be playing catch-up against a 13-pointer...

      If you had them both, the sensible strategy was to captain Haaland and vc Mo and if you can, roll a transfer just in case Haaland is out longer. He was always going to start or not at all.

        Some of us aren't lazy, I was busy working and therefore unable to react to any last minute news.

        Anyhow I planned for it with Haaland captain and Salah vice knowing it was 50/50 if Haaland would start.
