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.

    Does anyone listen to anything that Jamie Carragher, aka Spit the Dog, says?

    Goes on and on and on, in that flat, monotone voice and ugly Scouse accent. Spoils the game on TV - have to turn the volume down.

      Tbh. He's my favourite pundit but mainly because in past seasons he's said it how it is about Man United.

      I personally can't stand our former players like Neville, Keane, Evra etc.

      They need to get him off Liverpool games, same with mcmanaman on BT sport.

      Carragher for me became unbearable a couple of seasons ago, especially his commentary in the merseyside derby when origi scored the late winner

    Liverpool look horrendous. Salah downs tools next season to try and force a move to Real Madrid and suddenly they're the new post Sir Alex Man Utd.

    Meanwhile, Newcastle are massive and Almiron wins Ballon d'or
