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

    Salah + Arnautovic > Hazard + Kane (-4) ?

    Rumours that Zaha is out and Pedro has been dropped for Willian

    1. Konig Luther

    This site is so entertaining for meltdowns and kneejerks... this time last week Mane had to go, he was useless, he’d blanked.... roll on this GW and a lot of the same people are now looking for Mane to come in and melting down over Salah blanking for one GW.

    I can only assume complete stupidity because even if you’ve never played the game before, how can you possibly expect any player to deliver EVERY week?

      Welcome to match day. The trick is to talk about it, not actually follow through with it.

        This.

    I can only imagine how threatening Jurgen Klopp could make himself to Allison after this game. It would be like something out of the Sopranos

        8 years, 2 days ago

        There was one guy earlier talking about "If you think Pedro isn't nailed then you don't know Sarri or his system"

  15. FlockofSeagulls
    • 9 Years

  16. Team Bobcat
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 2 days ago

    Salah EXIT

    Who to replace him outside of Hazard Mane.

    Is a cheapie an option like Maddison / Fraser / Moura / Mkhi

    I own neither of the above but all on my like to own list

    Putting my Saturday £5 bet together.
    I'm usually hopeless so I'm trying a different approach... Wisdom of the crowd.

    3 x Both Teams to score and result?
    Which games would you pick?

    1. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      I look at the tables and look at the most GF and GA columns. Usually bag a few quid but lose as well.

      1. BananaMan
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 2 days ago

        That's my usual first stop but it hasn't been working very well for me!
