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.

    Four really amazing goals and football generally from Pool. This is why it was worth watching couple of awful 0-0s.

      Glad football is back to watch City and Liverpool, clearly the best teams in the league by a mile. Man Utd at a push are looking good, everyone else is pretty uninspiring.

    I was 15 over top 10k avg, cut in half by that one goal.

    90k rank drop

  9. Rains of Castamere
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Mane on for two bonus somehow

  10. DAZZ
    • 9 Years

    Another Salah goal would be AMAZING

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

        3 years, 10 months ago

        With bps almost certain already for a few I’d reckon based on earlier comments

    2. pingissimus
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Should be heaps

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

  15. SEXY SOLO SAUCE

    What does Salah need to do to get max bonus lol

    1. _Ninja_
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Not keep giving the ball away?

  16. Brosstan
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Red arrows now because of LiVARpool. Season over

    1. Kellz86
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      bahaha, lol that's all you guys have against us? VAR? please

  17. Kellz86
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    TAA off - Salah to sneak a BP?

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Salah needs more attacking returns to get BAPS. He keeps giving the ball away.

  18. diesel001
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Williams and Minamino on
    TAA and Firmino off

  19. Hazz

    All I can say is Virtual FPL is very realistic

    1. Ragabolly
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      That Martial hattrick reminded me a lot of vFPL.

  20. Chucky
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    TAA CS banked 😎

  21. Big_Andy_GAWA
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Two 100-plus gameweeks in a row. The good times make playing this game worthwhile... 😀

  22. The Train Driver
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Need a VVD OG now and Mane+Salah red cards. Too much to ask?

  23. Hulk Smash
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    As much as I hate to say it, Palace haven't even defended all that badly. All 4 goals have just been very high quality in different ways.

  24. The_Fish
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Going with Sterling instead of Salah hasn’t paid off so far.

    1. DAZZ
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Wait and see how Sterling gets on tomorrow

  25. Wild Rover

    Klopp fist bumping his players then hugging them

    1. Gnu

      1. Fred54
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Sakho may as well be adding semen to that list the way he's played.

  26. FPL Daniel
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Those who gave the armband to Bruno and not Salah have lost 9 pts as of now

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Me included

    2. Rains of Castamere
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Could have been worse

    3. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      I moved it to Son
      5 points lost

    4. nerd_is_the_werd
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      That's as bad as it gets for captain fail..

      1. Drexl Spivey
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        I can assure you it isn't.

  29. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus

    Salah triple captain Villa GW33?

    If Man City win tomorrow, Villa at Anfield could be the title decider if Pool lose at Etihad beforehand...

    1. Drexl Spivey
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      If.

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        ...you can keep your head while all about you are losing theirs
        And blaming it on you...
