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

      Are you in the know?

    2. Paul

      True... amazingly lucky prediction tbh
      There was no indication whatsoever

      1. diesel001
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        There was a large indication. A big BBC Sport article saying Zaha was not in the Ivory Coast squad for 'personal reasons'. If he is not in the Ivory Coast squad for next week, why would he be in the Palace squad today?

      Salty Zaha owners 😉

      What was your source out of interest?

  1. Richd
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    I’d still rather Pedro over Walcott to be honest.

    Walcott is awful. I’d rather have Kante.

    1. SkeletONv01
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Thats just silly 😛

      1. Richd
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Why’s it silly ? I’m a stats man

        1. SkeletONv01
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          You prefer a guy who doesnt play 😛

          1. Richd
            • 13 Years
            7 years, 7 months ago

            Kante will play. And Pedro has more upside in 20 min cameo than Walcott in 90. These are statistical facts.

    2. AnfieldLad
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      I’d prefer the player that’s starting to be honest

    3. Fantastisk
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Lol keep telling yourself that champ. He's on the bench ffs.

    4. Ode
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      You know he will score a brace now

  2. SirStevieG
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    That's why you don't own Pedro.

  3. Locarno
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    No Zaha? Great. Just need a TAA red card now...

    1. Captain Vantastic™

  6. Paul
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Somebody mentioned no Zaha over here...kudos to you sir

  7. hannibalos
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Salah blank, Liverpool concedes, Pedro sub, Ings starts. Hmm, not the best of starts but still hoping

  8. Mic
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Wow bullets dodgex. Almost brought in Zaha, almost brought in Pedro

  9. Bielsa's Bucket
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    No Pedro starting

  10. Gazpilicueta
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    No Zaha for real? wow.

  11. tiger
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    Zaha injury...who knew!

    1. Desperately Seeking Dusan
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Some guy on here did and we all told him he was wrong!!! Diesel?

      1. diesel001
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Yep. Hodgson is a 'player'. He was covering it up in the press conference because he knows that Palace are screwed without Zaha.

        1. tiger
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          I had no idea...oh well, my sub is Neves for him.

  12. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years

    Where the hellllll is zaha wtf

  13. Desperately Seeking Dusan
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    NO ZAHA! Where’s that guy from earlier?! He called it!

    Annoying because I’ve played him for once but at least I didn’t end up taking a hit for Pedro who’s benched too and I didn’t expect that either.

    3. Fpl Richie

      • 10 Years

      Is Pereira Gomes actually Anderson for West Ham?

  15. Meinhoff
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Wildcard activated. Salah out

  16. Chucky
    • 12 Years

    No Zaha... Cedric CS locked 😀

  17. Boomerang V
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    As Salah non-cap I am ok with the blank and I want to keep him through out the whole season but I will probably sell just because his price will drop at least 0.2 and that means getting him at a cheaper price on GW9 then fixtures get better.

  18. Drip Doctor
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years

    Keep calm with Pedro. Willian is in the Brazil team, Pedro should start the next GW.

    1. Desperately Seeking Dusan
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Prices don’t change until around 2am UK time. It’s not a stock market.

      1. Gaffers
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago
