Gameweek 4 continues with Leeds United hosting Liverpool at Elland Road.

Kick-off is at 16:30 BST.

For Leeds, new signing Daniel James (£6.0m) is on the bench, but Raphinha (£6.5m) starts after his ban for not being released to the Brazil squad was lifted.

Stuart Dallas (£5.5m) also features despite withdrawing from international duty, while Junior Firpo (£4.8m) has recovered from COVID-19 and replaces Pascal Struijk (£4.4m) in the starting XI.

As expected, Liverpool are without the injured Roberto Firmino (£8.8m) but Virgil van Dijk (£6.5m) and Harvey Elliot (£5.5m) are fit.

Diogo Jota (£7.7m) starts in attack, while Thiago (£5.4m) replaces Jordan Henderson (£5.0m), who drops to the bench.

GAMEWEEK 4 LINE-UPS

Leeds XI: Meslier, Ayling, Cooper, Llorente, Firpo, Phillips, Dallas, Raphinha, Rodrigo, Harrison, Bamford

Subs: Klaesson, Struijk, Cresswell, Shackleton, Klich, Summerville, James, McCarron, Roberts

Liverpool XI: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Matip, van Dijk, Robertson, Fabinho, Thiago, Elliot, Salah, Mane, Jota

Subs: Kelleher, Konate, Gomez, Tsimikas, Milner, Henderson, Keita, Jones, Oxlade-Chamberlain

  5. COLLIN QUANER
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Should be a red

    1. Licky
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I guess that's why they don't want players coming in from behind.

    2. Andy_Social
      5 years, 1 month ago

      It is.

  6. Duke Silver ☑
    5 years, 1 month ago

    He's had such a great start to the season too. Get well soon lad.

  7. Botman and Robben
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Oh man, wish Elliott well.

  8. The Train Driver
    5 years, 1 month ago

    What happened?

    1. Bubz
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Broken leg

    2. Andy_Social
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Not showing a replay. That's how bad it was. It was a fast and furious coming together.

    3. Royal5
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Henke Larsson injury

  9. TomSaints
    5 years, 1 month ago

    That’s such an awful injury.

    So sorry for him

  10. Collie01

    So awful when that happens.

  11. _Ninja_
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Red card for struijk

  12. BIGREDDOG
    5 years, 1 month ago

    God this looks terrible... poor young lad

  13. WVA
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    5 years, 1 month ago

    FFS feel for the lad, had something similar happen at a very similar age

  14. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Nooo, poor young talent

  15. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Raph to be subbed I think

  16. F4L
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Son all over again. Bad injury shouldn't = red

    1. Gamst - Up (?) the Rovers
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Agreed by the look of it.

    2. A-L
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Shouldn't the point be that dangerous career threatening challenges result in a red card to discourage these? It was genuinely a dangerous challenge so how can it now warrant a red?

      1. F4L
        5 years, 1 month ago

        what are you categorizing as a dangerous tackle? Because that wasn't one, he wasn't off his feet and took the ball cleanly. Just looks like Struijk fell onto Elliot's leg which was trapped at a bad angle = snap. It's horrible to happen, but you can't start handing out reds, players will just stop slide tackling altogether at that point.

  17. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Raph sent off? Radio said it was strauk? Can anyone clear up?

    1. dark91
      5 years, 1 month ago

      It is Struijk. Raph was contesting it

    2. KadMan
      5 years, 1 month ago

      It is Struijk

      1. Andy_Social
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Stujik tackle and red. Raph maybe being subbed.

    3. Licky
      5 years, 1 month ago

      It was Struijk.

    4. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      5 years, 1 month ago

      It did look aimed at Raph as he was next to him, but surely Struijk

      1. Steve The Spud
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers

    5. My heart goes Salalalalah
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Struijk

  18. dark91
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Red card to Struijk

  19. Licky
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Good, get him off.

  20. TomSaints
    5 years, 1 month ago

    I actually feel sick seeing that in real time. Glad they’re not showing replay.

    Bad challenge but not that malicious. Feel like he’s got a red because of the injury

    1. Licky
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Seeing his foot go limp was not nice. 🙁

      1. TomSaints
        5 years, 1 month ago

        It was the way he tried to get up and Salah pushed him down and frantically waved on medics

  21. The Senate
    5 years, 1 month ago

    1 Jesus christ I hope that kid recovers ok

    2. LiVARpool are well and truly back

  22. Chalobah's Witness
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    5 years, 1 month ago

    another young talent gone bcoz of a c... like strujk

    1. Gamst - Up (?) the Rovers
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Let's wait to pass judgement on the tackle. Didn't look too bad. The tackle i.e.

      1. Chalobah's Witness
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        5 years, 1 month ago

        I saw it ...

        1. Gamst - Up (?) the Rovers
          5 years, 1 month ago

          I saw it over again now. He lunges in and stops the ball and Elliot stops in Struijk's legs as well. I guess VAR had a good look, but I think they would have given a yellow if Elliots leg didn't dislocate or whatever happened.

          1. Gamst - Up (?) the Rovers
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Ok, forget that. It is a red.

    2. LC1
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Was a good tackle and he got the ball. Just very, very unlucky.
      Hopefully he has a quick recovery!

      1. Chalobah's Witness
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        5 years, 1 month ago

        there's no chance he'll recover at all at this early stage of his career.
        Players at his age simply just don't come back from horror injuries.

        1. Guru Mediation
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Aaron Ramsey was very young when he had his. Best wishes to Harvey

        2. Marvin.
          5 years, 1 month ago

          This seems counter intuitive to me. Surely you recover better when you're young?

          1. Chalobah's Witness
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Yeah you would think so but it's totally important to get as much game time as possible at this early pro stage.
            Many promising young players never reach their peak because of such injuries.

    3. Sulk
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Was a 50 50 so both a c….?

      1. Chalobah's Witness
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Imo Strujk knew exactly what he was doing there

  23. Shultan
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Who get sent off? Radio confused

    1. JBG
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Struijk

  24. PartyTime
    5 years, 1 month ago

    How can you break someone’s leg & not expect a red card. Why are Leeds players complaining ffs

    1. WVA
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Because complete accidents can happen in contact sport where no-one is at fault

      1. @persecuted_by_mods
        5 years, 1 month ago

        This, I haven't seen a replay but on first viewing didn't look like a foul even just looked like a freak accident

        1. Andy_Social
          5 years, 1 month ago

          I thought it was a coming together at furious speed. Didn't seem to be any intent.

      2. PartyTime
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Yes but if they show the replay, it must have been a bad tackle

        1. Deulofail
          5 years, 1 month ago

          bad injury*

    2. F4L
      5 years, 1 month ago

      it's awful for it to happen but are you joking I can't tell? All it takes is for a foot to get caught in the turf or under another person's leg at a bad angle

    3. Zalk
      5 years, 1 month ago

      You should probably youtube Son's red (last season maybe?).

    4. LC1
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Eh? I don't think it was a red card at all.
      He got the ball and the referee didn't even give the freekick originally.

      Just an awful bit of bad luck that he came out of it the way he did.

      Hopefully a speedy recovery !

  25. Bounce
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Poor adult

  26. Gunneryank
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Oh my! Sky won't even show it again. I missed it the first time. Probably best...

    1. Andy_Social
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Happened so fast live, there wasn't much to catch. No replay indicates how serious it was.

  27. Thanos
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Guys what happened???

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Think Elliot's leg snapped. No close replays yet, but in real time looked like his leg kinda flopped out the wrong way.

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      5 years, 1 month ago

      He was hooked back but it didn't look too dirty...

      Just caught him.

  28. SADIO SANÉ
    5 years, 1 month ago

    ‘Always going to give a red’ - he didn’t even give a foul for it

    1. LC1
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I said exactly this lol

    2. JBG
      5 years, 1 month ago

      This

    3. SINGH
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Because the tackle wasn't that bad. It was unfortunate the kid got injured but shouldn't have been a ree

  29. The Polymath
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Just rewound the match and not surprised they won't show the replay. Poor lad.

  30. Baines on Toast...
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Season over presuming Salah gets a hattrick now, oh well. Hope Harvey is okay.

    1. TomSaints
      5 years, 1 month ago

      It’s not about points right now

    2. My heart goes Salalalalah
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Think I'm vs you in that h2h league. I'm having a horrible gw
