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

          You don’t think Liverpool will keep a lot of clean sheets with VVD back? I don’t like the term essential, but it just seems like self-sabotage to go without Trent when he and Liverpool are on form

            Form is an illusion with TAA - he’s not a normal player

            He was “out of form” and facing a blank gameweek followed by a trip to table topping Leciester away around the club world championship time season before last…. pro pundits were writing articles about how it’s a good idea to cash in on him for all these wonderful reasons…

            Spoiler alert: it *wasnt* a good idea to go without him - it was 26 points away from being a good idea

            The body of work he has put together over 100 games now, his underlying stats (even in the rare times of low actual points scores, and a season without VVD) are just too good…

            He’s guaranteed nothing, but unfortunately non-owners are very likely to be learning the hard way with him that it’s just not a good idea to swerve

        If Trent were a 7.5m midfielder, getting just a point for a clean sheet, he'd still be worthy of being high on the wishlist. Throw in 4 for the cs and he's a must imo.

              I mean if Trent was classified as a mid in FPL, I think his point returns would be similar to Mount, although their play is ofc nothing alike.

          His chance creation alone is bonkers

          He hasn’t done it yet - but he’s also good enough at DFKs that he can spank in 2 or 3 in a little quick fire flurry at some stage

          Absolute joy of a player to own and to watch, it’s like he’s got a cheat code for the FPL scoring system
