Liverpool's attacking midfield duo are back in action together after Sadio Mane (£12.2m) returned to the Reds side from the bench in Gameweek 26 to score the winner against Norwich. Whilst Mane was out of action, Mo Salah (£12.8m) stepped up to the plate brilliantly, scoring three goals and assisting one in their last three Premier League games. The two will be looking forward to the prospect of facing West Ham at Anfield in Gameweek 27.

Mane had accrued more FPL points than Salah before he was forced to leave the pitch against Wolves in Gameweek 24 due to a muscle injury. However, Salah has a formidable record at home this season, scoring 12 of his 14 league goals at Anfield. He also accrued 14 FPL points in the reverse fixture against the Hammers in Gameweek 24. These stats see us give him the nod over Mane in this head-to-head.

Verdict: Mohamed Salah
