Fantasy managers spared pains of Liverpool rotation at Leicester

Fantasy Premier League managers have been spared the pains of Jurgen Klopp’s rotation for the first fixture of Gameweek 4.

After promising that unchanged line-ups would soon be a thing of the past at Liverpool, Klopp has made just one alteration to the side that beat Brighton in Gameweek 3.

New signing Naby Keita (£7.5m) drops to the bench to allow club captain Jordan Henderson (£5.4m) to come back into the starting line-up.

The headline Fantasy options Mohamed Salah (£13.0m), Sadio Mané (£9.9m) and Andrew Robertson (£6.1m) have all kept their places.

The Reds remain heavily backed in this fixture with Salah still in 55 percent of teams, Mané in 37 percent and Robertson in 21 percent.

As a whole, the Liverpool defence is still popular for this trip to the King Power Stadium with Virgil van Dijk (£6.0m) in 18 percent of squads and 17 percent invested in Trent Alexander-Arnold (£5.0m).

It appears that Demarai Gray (£5.5m) is leading the Leicester line in the absence of Jamie Vardy (£8.9m). Kelechi Iheanacho (£6.0m) drops to the bench.

Ricardo Pereira (£5.0m) has earned plenty of attention for playing in attacking midfield twice so far this season but he is deployed at right-back for this one.

LEICESTER CITY XI (4-4-1-1): Schmeichel; Chilwell, Morgan, Maguire, Pereira, Ghezzal, Ndidi, Mendy, Albrighton; Maddison; Gray.

LIVERPOOL XI (4-3-3): Alisson; Robertson, Van Dijk, Gomez, Alexander-Arnold: Henderson, Wijnaldum, Milner; Salah, Firmino, Mane
