Liverpool without Salah as Klopp provides Alexander-Arnold injury update

1,123 Comments

An injury-hit Liverpool side missing the self-isolating Mohamed Salah (£12.2m) take on in-form Leicester City in the last of four Premier League matches held on Sunday.

Kick-off at Anfield is at 19:15 GMT.

Aside from Salah, the Reds are without the services of Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.3m), Jordan Henderson (£5.4m), Joe Gomez (£5.4m) and Virgil van Dijk (£6.3m) – among others.

Jurgen Klopp offered an update on Alexander-Arnold ahead of kick-off, saying:

Fabinho (£5.4m) is fit, at least, and the Brazilian is paired with Joel Matip (£5.4m) at the heart of the hosts’ backline this evening.

James Milner (£5.3m), rather than Neco Williams (£3.9m), is given the nod to start at right-back.

Milner and Fabinho are two of four Liverpool squad members promoted to Klopp’s starting XI, with the quartet making way all victims of injury or illness.

Naby Keita (£5.2m) and Curtis Jones (£4.4m) are the other beneficiaries of the player shortage and line up in midfield.

Diogo Jota (£6.5m) starts for the fourth time in six Gameweeks, meanwhile, joining Sadio Mane (£12.1m) and Roberto Firmino (£9.2m) in the Liverpool attack.

The Leicester team news is a little more straightforward, with Brendan Rodgers making only two changes from the side that defeated Wolves a fortnight ago.

Luke Thomas (£4.3m) and Dennis Praet (£5.5m) both drop to the bench, with Marc Albrighton (£5.3m) and Harvey Barnes (£6.9m) drafted into Rodgers’ line-up.

There is no place in the squad for Timothy Castagne (£5.7m), however, despite Brendan Rodgers declaring the Belgian fit to play on Friday.

Something will have to give this evening as 100% winning home and away records go on the line.

Jamie Vardy (£10.1m), the most-owned player in either starting XI, has been particularly potent on the road, averaging 12.75 points in away games.

Liverpool XI: Alisson, Milner, Fabinho, Matip, Robertson, Wijnaldum, Keita, Jones, Jota, Mane, Firmino.

Leicester City XI: Schmeichel, Albrighton, Fofana, Evans, Fuchs, Justin, Mendy, Tielemans, Barnes, Maddison, Vardy.

      I'm thinking this. Also as a martinez/steer owner and barkley taking up my 3rd villa spot, it gives me the excuse to get grealish later on that I've stubbornly refused to do as seen it as too sideways.

    Even if Jota scores a hattrick he’s the one to drop to the bench when Salah is fit. Am

    He plays on the wings, so cannot directly replace Firmino.

          In a 4-3-3 with matches coming thick and fast, rotation could affect anyone including the in form Jota

          In a 4-2-3-1, I’d have Jota starting more often than not.

          He’s a Keep if own, or a gamble purchase if don’t own.

          Being an owner, I’d recommend nobody to bring him in. Don’t gamble on him lol

      Ziyech might still come good, imo. Wouldn't call it a casual noob mistake.
      You've touched an important point, though. Scout Picks and this community in general (like any other forums/groups) is kind of an information bubble. We all start to think alike, reconfirming our choices and following the template. Really hard to differentiate in such environment. This is why we should always ask ourselves a question: "how can I do it my way?". Thanks for raising the point! Cheers!
