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.

Above: Overall captaincy and vice-captaincy picks in Gameweek 13 (via LiveFPL)

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 struggling to put away a team they'd have put to the sword two seasons ago.

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years

      8 months ago!

    2. Steve The Spud

      Top teams all struggled a little this week, other teams prepping all week for 1 game when they play 2 and tough cl games as well, bit of fatigue around i think

  2. OverTinker

    Nunez >>> Haaland
    GW 1

  3. TOBY1
    • 9 Years

    That pass from Nunez - hahaha useless

  4. it lies in the proles

    Bottomed

    A) for -8: Pope, Foden, Martinelli, Mitrovic to Ederson, Trossard, Almiron, Wilson/DCL

    B) for -4: Foden, Son, Mitrovic to KDB, Trossard/Alm, Wilson/DCL

    1. Fellaini's Fro

    Nunez is the worst striker playing in the PL in the last decade

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Mauro Boseli

    2. NoName

        Jay Bothroyd.

        I win!

        1. NoName
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Not so fast. I see your Bothroyd and I raise ya a Vincent Janssen.

      2. BUZZBOMB ♡
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        The list is long and distinguished. Van Wolfswinkle and Soldado my personal favourites. Hated Ballotelli too. Ambition v Ability.

    Salah sitter 🙂

    1. OverTinker
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      not even close to being a sitter

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

      The word 'sitter' is quickly losing its meaning

  7. bso
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Bring in KDB or Salah?

    1. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Whichever one you do bring in, the other will do better

      1. bso
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Isn't that that truth!
        Each has their issues. LIV lousy in general and not sure Salah is reliable. MC great, but Pep roulette can ruin things.

  8. Nomar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    How the hell did this team beat Man City 1-0?

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

      We always turn up against city

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

      Catfished us so bad into thinking they were back

    3. Well you know, Triffic
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Parked the bus and got lucky

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

        Didn't watch the game did you

    4. mixology
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Because for that one game the commitment, work rate, and belief were there, along with home support. Now it’s back to reality that they’re not winning big trophies this season

  9. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Next week TOT LIV will be 0-0 or 1-1 with defensive calamity each ...

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

    How's that not a corner?

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Liverpool don't get decisions given their way.

      1. Fellaini's Fro
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Right

      2. Zimo
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Lol

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

      Oliver ...

  11. Klip Klopp
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Finally time to Wildcard?

    Raya / Ward
    Saliba / Cancelo / Trippier / N.Williams / Guehi
    Zaha / Martinelli / Salah / Foden / Andreas
    Firmino / Haaland / Toney*

    1. Boberella
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      You’re running out of time to use it, so yeah

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

      For sure, so many duds in there:
      Zaha, Salah, Foden, Firmino, Toney

    3. bso
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Why not KDB, Almiron, Trossard and Wilson...don't know why you would want Zaha (rubbish) and Foden who is likely to be on the bench? Toney is out for the next week...and Firmino is hit and miss as is the rest of lousy LIV.

  12. RICICLE
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Cannot watch anymore of this rubbish, I’m off to go pet Zouma’s cat

    1. bso
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      LOL

  13. camarozz
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Almiron or Trossard if u had to pick one?

    Already have 2 x Newcastle

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

      Trossard

    2. Zimo
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Almiron is the chosen one

      1. Bobby Digital
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Almirone

    3. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Almiron

    4. NATSTER
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      same dilemma.

      there will be no room for Wilson if picked Almiron.

      because of Wilson, I'm leaning to Trossard but not so confident.

  14. g40steve
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Seriously Jones & Elliott not fit to wear that shirt!

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

      Jones has made a big impact since he came on, one poor pass

  15. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    salah 😆

    1. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Shocking

  16. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Salah has lost his sparkle. Definitely selling him

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Doing hos best to lose the 1bap atm

      1. RICICLE
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Oh that’s already gone, he doesn’t even need to try and lose it

  17. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Dear god Salah

    1. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Didn't even try to pass to Nunez

  18. Free Hat
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Its getting worse and worse. My god

  19. Shultan
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Liverpool so bad... feel lucky to get that 1 salah goal!

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

    Chelsea or Liverpool worse? Really can't decide

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Europa leage for both

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

    Yet again James milner is a matchwinner in klopp's eyes

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

      Hamez

    2. gooberman
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Its absolutely unbelievable. Sick of Klopps obsession with James Milner!

  22. chaser123
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Salah to KDB worth a -4?

    (Mitrovic to Wilson the other transfer)

  23. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Trent subbed

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

    More like it from Nunez

    1. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      That was decent shot compared to Salah failure. But naturally only points count 🙁

  25. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Bamford horrendous

    1. BUZZBOMB ♡
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I thought youve just been subbed on for Trent. Concentrate on the game man! 😉

  26. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    This Jones lad has been really poor tonight

  27. Nomar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    This is pitiful to watch.

  28. RamaJama
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Salah off pens?

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Why?

      1. RamaJama
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Milner in

        1. Royal5
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Mhm. Dalah been take them when he's been on for a while

    2. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      We never know anymore

  29. gooberman
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Oh eff off Klopp! Obsessed with effing James Milner! Liverpool need a goal so he brings Milner on. It really is a joke!

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

      Lool he literally loves him

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

      Odd isn't it

  30. Ze_Austin
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Leeds has too many Championship players

    1. The Train Driver
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      They have 0, literally all of them play in the PL.
