There were few team selection surprises ahead of Chelsea’s big Premier League clash with Liverpool.
However, Fantasy Premier League managers remain apprehensive, with this particular match proving very hard to call.
The stock of Mohamed Salah (£13.0m) has fallen in recent weeks but he still sits at 41.2% ownership. Eden Hazard (£11.0m) is not far behind as he is backed by 36.8% of Fantasy managers. So there are plenty out there hoping for attacking returns.
However, it will be difficult for many to know where their allegiances lie in this one as defenders Marcos Alonso (£6.9m) and Andrew Robertson (£6.3m) remain fashionable assets.
The Chelsea man is in 45.3% of squads, with Robertson in 27.2%.
With highly-owned premium forwards Sergio Aguero (£11.4m) and Harry Kane (£12.4m) already delivering this weekend, there will be pressure on anyone who has captained a player at Stamford Bridge.
Liverpool’s defensive prospects have been boosted by the fact that Virgil van Dijk (£6.0m) has been passed fit.
CHELSEA XI (4-3-3): Kepa; Alonso, Luiz, Rüdiger, Azpilicueta; Kante, Jorginho, Kovacic; Willian, Hazard, Giroud.
LIVERPOOL XI (4-3-3): Alisson; Robertson, Van Dijk, Gomez, Alexander-Arnold; Wijnaldum, Henderson, Milner; Mané, Firmino, Salah.
