There were no big surprises as the team sheets came out for Gameweek 5’s opening fixture between Tottenham and Liverpool.

Despite fears that Reds manager Jurgen Klopp would rotate some of his big hitting Fantasy Premier League options, Jordan Henderson (£5.3m) was the only one to drop out.

Naby Keita (£7.4m) comes in while Mohamed Salah (£13.0m), Sadio Mané (£10.0m) and Roberto Firmino (£9.4m) all kept their places in the starting XI.

As expected, Michel Vorm (£4.9m) comes in for the injured Hugo Lloris (£5.5m) while Harry Winks (£5.5m) gets the nod with Dele Alli (£9.1m) out with a knock.

There is unlikely to be much captain interest in this fixture with both Salah and Harry Kane (£12.5m) backed by under 6% in our most recent poll for the armband.

TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR XI (4-2-3-1): Vorm, Trippier, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Rose, Dier, Dembele, Winks, Eriksen, Lucas, Kane.

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

    As a non Liverpool defender owner, that Lamela goal was rather pleasing.
