Salah back as Klopp names full-strength side for Palace clash

Mohamed Salah (£12.7m) is back in the Liverpool starting line-up for Gameweek 31+.

The Egyptian remained an unused substitute for the 0-0 draw with Everton on Sunday following a precautionary absence in a pre-Project Restart friendly.

But it’s back to full-strength for Jurgen Klopp’s men tonight as Crystal Palace come to Anfield.

He has kept faith in Roberto Firmino (£9.5m) and Sadio Mané (£12.5m), combining them with Salah in the front-three.

As expected, Andrew Robertson (£7.0m) is back in the Liverpool defence, joined there by Virgil van Dijk (£6.5m), Joe Gomez (£5.3m) and, of course, Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.8m).

Crystal Palace have matched Liverpool’s 4-3-3 formation with one of their own, deploying Andros Townsend (£5.6m) and Wilfried Zaha (£6.7m) either side of the in-form budget striker Jordan Ayew (£5.2m).

Liverpool XI: Alisson; Robertson, Van Dijk, Gomez, Alexander-Arnold; Wijnaldum, J Henderson, Fabinho; Mané, Firmino, Salah.

Crystal Palace XI: Hennessey; van Aanholt, Cahill, Sakho, J Ward; McArthur, McCarthy, Kouyaté; Townsend, Zaha, Ayew.

    Guaita is a big loss for Palace. Congrats Mane/Salah/TAA captainers!

      Good jinx attempt Mikel, well played

        The real question for Mikel is why he let Luiz have another one year contract.

        1. SADIO SANÉ

          3 years, 9 months ago

          Funniest guy in the changing room (but unfortunately also on the pitch)

          Good leader to have on team. He will stay on bench.

    How long do we have to put up with this kneeling malarkey

      Until people stop posting these sort of comments

    2. GOTHAM City F.C.

      How often will this question be asked

    3. Rainer
      • 7 Years

      Why is it malarkey to you?

    4. SuperMane Returns

      All season I hope. Strong, important message.

      You posted this in another article...How long do we have to put up with your BS is the better question?

      Banhammer anyone?

      Hope they extend it by a season for every time someone asks that.

      An anti racist movement will only ever offend racists.

          amen

        • Hect.OR 98th

          Indeed.

        Wow. I hope they do it for the foreseeable future so to get through to people like you.

        Shocking comment.

      3. Hect.OR 98th
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Why don't you just ignore it if you don't like it? No need to comment, just close your eyes or turn off the TV.

        Pathetic.

      4. thegame983

        Until racism is no more. So forever, I guess.

        Is that 3 times you've posted that? Scouts? A bit of action perhaps?

        Your family must be proud of you, pathetic weasel

      Powerful people must own Saiss.

    12. GREEN IS GOOD
      • 7 Years

      so far so good for Palace CS

      Just need to keep this up for the next 90 minutes

    13. Pia06rc

      What are Tammy Abraham owners doing with him? Starting, benching or selling?

    14. Crouching Tiger
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Pogba to Martial for free?

      1. Yank Revolution
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Yassss

      2. GREEN IS GOOD

          Correct, back to Pogba next week.

      4. Babelcopter
        • 5 Years

        Yes

      5. HurriKane

      6. Revival
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        No way, Pogba created 4 chances this evening, most of any Utd player

      7. Weasel Boy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Next GW Pogba probably scores and you'll ask "Martial to Pogba?"

    15. Rainer

      Salah wider than Son.

      1. Fred54
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        If that was true Salah would be running down the wing at Goodison Park....

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

          😆

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

          😛

      2. Mings the Merciless
        • 5 Years

        Lockdown waistline?

      3. The Suspended One
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Where was Son supposed to be with 10 men behind the ball all match?

    16. Slitherene
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Best replacement for Grealish?

      Have 6.5 ITB

      1. L S P
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Hoping it's Sarr

        1. Slitherene
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Or Mount?

      2. Kellz86
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Traore - subbed early and has been involved in the past two goals, looking likely to keep his place imo

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

        I think Sarr is more explosive. Mount is so nailed you can't predict where he plays on the pitch.

      4. Pep Roulette
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Sarr/Mount

    17. AzzaroMax99
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Any chance for Rash to get 2bps or bps are locked now?

    18. Nightcrawler
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Have to say Bruno isnt a captain choice is he?

      Will keep ticking over but highly unlikely to get a haul given how rarely he gets in the box

      1. Wild Rover
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Now you tell me

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

          Said this before too. Never thought about captaining him. Obviosily u cant repeat yourslef on here becuase the hindsight brigade comes in

      2. Rainer
        • 7 Years

        3 years, 9 months ago

        Possibly. It was an odd week for captaincy though so.... *shrug*

    19. Babelcopter
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Bruno was a trap afterall.. I’m feeling sick.

      2. Cojiro
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Could be worse, could have switched it off Mane for Bruno last minute

    22. Chucky

      Salah cappo monster Score INC....

    23. Rover

      With no players in this game, I am terrified just after the first couple of minutes

      1. The Suspended One
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Palace plays them tough, usually close

    24. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Which 5th mid for 352 formation max 7.0m would you go for?
      A. Sarr
      B. Pulisic
      C. Traore
      D. Mount
      E. Other

      1. Coys96
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        A

      2. Kellz86
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Traore - subbed early for a breather and has been the architect of the last two goals for Wolves, keeping his place imo

    26. Nightcrawler
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Hard to tell who the pool right back is

    27. SADIO SANÉ
      • 8 Years

      Why did I captain Mane over Ritchie!? So stupid

      1. GOTHAM City F.C.

      Seriously sad because of picking Bruno over Martial. Hope Auba and Sterling do something to make me play this game happily again!
