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.

    Anytime I’ve seen Nico Williams he’s been the best player on the park. So tough considering TAA is there aswell

  3. Nightcrawler

    3 years, 10 months ago

    Trent or mane for 2?

    Salah no chance id think so

  4. Rolls-Royce

    Scary game not owning Salah.

    1. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      No. Missed more than he attempted.

    2. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Yes it was. No more after next one.

  5. Teahupo'o
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    70 with Stephens Ings to go.

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

      with no chips used? that's great!

      1. Teahupo'o
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Thanks. No chips used. WC and BB still available.

    2. joelsprylar
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      65 with Ederson, Auba and captain KDB left.

  6. Henning
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Rashford or Martial?

    1. Teahupo'o
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Both

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

        Even if i have Fernandes

        1. james 101
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 10 months ago

          Yes.

          I have all three

        2. Teahupo'o
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 10 months ago

          Yeah, I have Bruno and Rashford. Contemplating tripling up with Martial.

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

    72 with only KDB and Pope left... will take that...

  8. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    So as usual hardly anything between Salah and Mane

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

    Salah did everything in his power to lose out on baps at the end there. Shame if he didnt succeed

  10. Silecro
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    78 with KDB left. Satisfied!

  11. BobbyDoesNotLook
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Nico Williams 10/10 performance. Where has he been?

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

    Big teams with financial backing doing well. Just like in Bundesliga.

    Liverpool, Man City, Man Utd, Wolves all doing well since the return. Chelsea tough fixture tomorrow, but also returned with a win.

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

      Hard working honest corporations versus lazy part time jobbers

  13. mrodgers91
    • 6 Years

    46 + tonight's baps with pope kdb ings and auba to play. Hoping for a goal fest in one of those games

  14. FER FUSCH AKE

    TAA 2

      1. GreennRed
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Apologies, refreshed, you're spot on.

      2. BC1

        3 years, 10 months ago

        ?? Mayo unbeaten in 5 months, nice one. Up the Dubs, and down with the leadership of the HSE :p

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

    79 with Bruno(C) 🙁
    Played bench boost
    KDB Ings Pope McCarthy to go

  17. Nightcrawler
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    96 all out

    Need kdb to blank now

    1. james 101
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Nice!

  18. tucaoneo
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    TAA creeping up BPS while sleeping.

  19. james 101
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    89 with Martinez and KDB to play.

    100 on the cards

    So KDB will probably not start right?!

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

      Why wouldn't he start?

      1. james 101
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        He will mate.

        I was referring to the luck of sod.

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

      KDB will start IMO. Benched against Burnley and needs a run out given FA Cup and Liverpool games coming up. After then, who knows? Pep could easily save the squad once Liverpool have the title and 2nd place is confirmed.

      1. james 101
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Agreed

    3. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Final baps are an issue?

      1. james 101
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        I’m guessing 1 bp from salah.

        1. james 101
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 10 months ago

          Sorry. I mean taa

  20. Gudjohnsen

    1. Digital-Real
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Fab 3
      Trent 2
      Mane 1

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

        Thanks

  21. UKG
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Will take 18 point Mane (c) was kicking myself missing the deadline and not moving to Bruno. Phew.

  22. PrettyDick
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    87p with Ings left and still greedy with a captaincy fail and that I fell for the trap that is Everton's shitty shitty attack

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

      Yeah Fernandes, DCL and Richarlison hyped too much while Martial went somewhat under the radar.

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

      Nicely done.

  23. Vazza
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Please pick two for the rest of the season -

    A. Maguire
    B. Wan Bissaka
    C. Aurier

    1. Giroud
    2. Jota

    1. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      B2

  24. Mweene
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    I'm on 80 points but I'm still gutted I sold Martial for Fernandes this week!

    1. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      It's still a good move, Bruno more consistent.

      1. JJeyy
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        awful stats this week

  25. Henning
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    My rivals have Salah, om about 90 p ahead. Should i try to get him in?

    1. Easy Cheesy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Maybe for the next three matches and then re-assess

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

    GW30 FH 90 pts red arrow, GW31 0 transfer 88 pts with 3 to go likely green arrow. I don't understand this game.

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

      Loads played bench boost last gw, not sure whats not to get tbh.

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

        Good point, my BB still intact

    2. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Depends how you do v the rest that GW, a lot of outlier BB high points tallies in GW30.

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

        Of course, forgot the % peps deploying BB. Think I was average in the group those using FH. Cheers!

  27. JJeyy
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Need Pulisic for west ham

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      They like to keep it tight vs. Chelsea

  28. Dannyb
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    So Son to Martial everyone?

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Yeah I'll drop player A who is up against the team player B just scored a hat-trick against.

    2. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Martial will never get 3 in a PL game again. But Son is overrated for me based on just two games back.

    3. The Man Pastore
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      You mean Son (C) right?

  29. Easy Cheesy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Have the below. Was going to chase fixtures and then WC in 34. Now trying to work out if I should try and get to a WC in 38. Is that a waste?

    Pope, mccarthy
    Taa, boly, saiss, lascelles, taylor
    Salah, kdb, mane, saka, h wilson
    Jimi, dcl, tammy

    Got two FT. If I’m chasing I should sell mane/ tammy to get fernandes/ kane. If not, I should probably tweak h wilson/ tammy (as he isn’t nailed) to saint macim/ jesus.

    1. Easy Cheesy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Any views appreciated

    2. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      WC in 38 is a waste.

  30. SuperMane Returns
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Crystal Palace players kept socially distant from Alisson tonight. Respect.
