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.

    Darwin being Darwin

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

    Ridiculous Trent!

  3. BUZZBOMB ♡
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Darwin could easily have deftly lobbed keeper there. Poor and smacks of lack of confidence.

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

      Yeah he was really lacking confidence last week when he was whacking vollies on target from 25 yards

      1. BUZZBOMB ♡
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        True but clearly a confidence player and no finesse in that effort at all. He can trap a ball further than I can kick it.

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

    My boy,.please repay the faith

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

    Darwin not evolved enough

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

      Is he a Pokemon?

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

        Wish he was! Haha

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

      I see what you did there

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

        Hehe

    3. NorCal Villan
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      That pun is not fit for survival 😎

  6. Free Hat
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    I have Gomez and even l want him off the pitch at half time.

  7. denial
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Darwin looks a bit Andy Carroll at times.

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

      Yeah he's not technically great tbh. Just got a great shot on him

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

      He'll get injured before 60 minutes then.

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

      He usually has a bad mess up before scoring.

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

      Only things going his way are the pace and the physical attributes to go with it.

  8. Total Foot 5
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    best option pls
    1.play gross wol and mount ARS
    2.-4 gross > trossard wol
    3 -4 mount > trossard wol

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

    Patson Daka is better than Nunez

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

      Graziano Pelle was.

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

      But Rodgers is still gonna start Vardy every other game

    3. NorCal Villan
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Patton Oswald is better than Nunez

      1. NorCal Villan
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Oswalt

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

    No.2 is coming

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

      Good luck.

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

      Better out than in as the great man said.

    3. NorCal Villan
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Don’t strain too much

  11. They are eating the dogs
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Salah cappers can finally say captaining Salah over Haaland was worth it.

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

      Not really most of guys in my ML.had KDB as vice.

  12. The Tinkerman
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Haaland is a hold, right?

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

      Y

  13. RamaJama
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    A Salah pen goal would taste well

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

      Like Koch?

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

    These might be the two most switched off defences in the league.

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

    Darwin is apparently the fastest player in the league. Couldn't tell...

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

      I reckon that’s bull tbh, seen much quicker

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

        He was absolutely flying when he recorded that 38kph

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

      Fastest to get sent off

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

    What would you rather have?

    An unlimited supply of food and beer for free for one year

    Or

    A Salah hat trick

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

      Probably the food and beer mate

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

        Haha!!

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

          Aye, paid 5.90 for a pint earlier, madness

          1. BUZZBOMB ♡
            • 11 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            Id bite your hand off at £5.90 if only the missus would drink pints instead of those overpriced lotions and potions!

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

              You must be down south, 5.90 is a rip off up here

              1. BUZZBOMB ♡
                • 11 Years
                3 years, 5 months ago

                Edinburgh £6 standard here unless Spoons or you prefer sawdust over a carpet.

    2. The Tinkerman
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I’m not a beer drinker, but I’d probably take thousands of pounds worth of food over a few FPL points, and I’ve captained him.

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

      Who needs food?

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

      Does the hattrick come with free therapy?

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

        It does! Haha

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

      Food and beer

    6. NorCal Villan
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Beer is food

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

      Haha love the responses

    8. Zimo
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Hattrick

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

    Elliott is rubbish

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

      Yh don't get the hype

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

        He's young and English- that's enough to be hyped up.

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

      Yes he is. English. Hence overhyped.

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

      One of the only players showing hunger and desire for us earlier in the season so I rate that from him

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

        That's an upper mid table team characteristic. Need more than just desire to be a top player unfortunately.

    4. Gazza2000
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Yep

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

    Robby ready to rip someone a new one

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

      He should start with Joe Gomez.

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

    Nunez getting involved in the build up then giving away possession

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

      Leeds' best defender so far.

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

      Frustrating

    3. TheTinman
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Can't figure this guy out. Is he another Benteke or is he going to be a monster. Really hard to tell right now.

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

    Why do I own Firmino

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

      He scored points the GW before you needed a forward.

  21. TheTinman
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Salah, we need more son...

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

      Don't be too greedy, he's facing mighty Leeds defence.

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

        Ty mówisz gówno (polska żona)

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

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

            Hahaha

    2. NorCal Villan
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Son is on Spurs

  22. FPL Brains
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    If Liverpool could keep clean sheets, Robertson would be a great pick.

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

      Can't keep a CS when playing donkeys like Gomez.

      1. FPL Brains
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Yep. They miss Matip.

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

      Since when was brains a mod?

  23. sk24

  26. TheBiffas
    • 5 Years

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

    Love Aaronson!

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

      Hell of a player

    2. TheTinman

      Looks quality.

    3. Mid budget coach

  28. SkyByBo
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    What's happened to Fabinho, gone from immense to awful!

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

      Ran into the ground, half arsed efforts with World Cup coming.

    2. TheBiffas
