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.

        Capped Jimi, but happy to have Salah and Trent points.

        Yes indeed

    • Strchld

      Awful. 1st and 3rd in my ML have Martial and Salah when I have Rashford and Mane.

        ouch

        Class wins over pace. Everytime. Have you seen rash finish compared to Martial? Even Mane just likes spectacular goals and misses open goals

    • Botman and Robben
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Though I have Salah, that has sent me down the ranks.

    • FOO FIGHTER

      Salah(c) KING of FPL!!!

    • FPL Blow-In

      I own Salah and Manè but captained neither. Do I want more from them or will it only damage my rank?

    • Feanor
      • 15 Years

      Switched to Bruno as captain after Salah didn't play on Sunday. 🙁

      I went for the WC this gw and my plan is to use my free hit next gw and drop Salah, Taa and Kdb during their clash. Thoughts on this? Probably gonna load up on Chelsea, Man U, Spurs wolves and Auba on my FH with their fixtures looking as tasty as ever. Solid plan?

        Liv will win 2-1. Kdb penalty, salah assisted by a beautiful cross by taa. Then salah lays it off to taa who smashes into the top corner
