Alisson returns for Liverpool as Klopp starts Salah, Mané, Firmino and Jota

Liverpool have been handed a much-needed boost at the back for their Gameweek 6 meeting with Sheffield United.

With Virgil van Dijk‘s (£6.4m) long-term injury still fresh in Jurgen Klopp’s mind, he welcomes back first-choice goalkeeper Alisson (£5.9m) from his shoulder problem.

It is a first start since Gameweek 3 for the Brazilian, Liverpool giving up nine goals in two matches during his absence.

That development is sure to be music to the ears of Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.4m) and Andrew Robertson (£7.1m) owners, who sit in 35.6% and 19% of team respectively.

However, there is arguably even more exciting news further up the pitch for Liverpool, as this week’s most captained player worldwide Mohamed Salah (£12.4m) could well be handed a centre-forward role.

Diogo Jota (£6.3m) has been welcomed into the starting line-up for a rare foray into a 4-2-3-1 formation, which also features Roberto Firmino (£9.3m) and Sadio Mané (£12.0m).

It has been some time since we have seen Klopp shape his troops in this way, but the last time a fourth attacking midfielder was added to the team, Firmino was handed a number 10 role behind Salah.

Meanwhile, interest in Sheffield United assets continues to wane, with Rhian Brewster (£4.5m) the only player owned by more than 7% for Gameweek 6.

He starts against his former club, paired with Oli McBurnie (£5.7m) up-front.

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

Sheffield United XI: Ramsdale; Ampadu, Egan, Basham; Stevens, Osborn, Berge, Lundstram, Baldock; Brewster, McBurnie.

    Wasn't even a foul?

  18. JONALDINHO

    Can someone please point out to me how that’s a pen?

    1. Zimo
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Freekick at best. His toenail must have been in the box

    2. NULL-X-VOID
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      their argument was that McBurnie's foot was on the line of the box. The line belongs on the box, thus if the foul was given while the player has any contact with box, it is a foul the box, thus the pen.

    This will be my first time transferring player in between the game..

  27. DaniCT

    • 10 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    If its on the line its a pen. That's the rule.

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Good to know. He got the ball before the player though

      1. Third Eye Vision
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Happens all the time. Follow through means a foul is committed.

  28. manu4life99

    Why are the double lpool def owners angry? What happened to the "cleansheets don't matter as Robbo/TAA are effectively 7m midfielders"?

    1. NULL-X-VOID
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      haha I was one of this guy. But shipped off TAA as my team was better with his funds spread

  29. Steve The Spud

    Not a foul, it's all on ball. And not in penalty area.

    So, it's a penalty!
