I've tried to talk myself out of it, but I've come to terms with the fact that Salah is the obvious captain pick this week.
I had the armband on Lukaku most of this week, but now he's out... it has to be Salah right?
1 - his form. He's insane this season, Ballon dor stuff we're seeing right now.
2 - Liverpool's form. They (to me) look favourites for the title.
3 - United's defence. Shaky as feck. Made an injury-hit Atalanta look far more dangerous than they were.
The only doubt is that form can go out the window in these games. But I think that's just the United fan in me hoping we can get something.
edit - also if he blanks, it means there's a chance that United have done well enough not to get battered! Unless firmino scores another hattrick
