Alexander-Arnold, Salah and Jota start as Liverpool visit Leeds in Gameweek 4

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

      Shouldn't do. Fab had a half shot before his final shot.

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        I think it'll stay as no assist tbh.

    2. Joey Tribbiani
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      he shouldnt

    3. COLLIN QUANER
      • 7 Years

      No

    4. Walter White (WW)
      • 2 Years

      No

      Cheers all

    Is Laporte likely a sure starter this season?

    1. Glad He Ate Her
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      If Ederson had a half decent back up, no one on that team would be a sure starter

    2. Elfozzie 42
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Have you watched Man City in the last few seasons? 😉
      He'll be in the mix with Dias and Stones (and Ake) clearly, but NO-ONE is a sure starter, aside from maybe Ederson, Gundogan and fit KDB

  3. sandman58

    What's the verdict on Raphinha please?
    Not watching the game

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Don't sell.

      1. sandman58
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Am thinking of buying
        Don't have as yet

    2. Royal5
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Not involved

    3. Brehmeren
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Leeds getting steamrolled

  4. Herman Toothrot
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Only 4 key passes and an assist so far for Trent. Pathetic.

    1. Elfozzie 42
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Unsellable asset right now.

  5. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Salah needs his passing BPS now.

  6. Old Man
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    That Haaland chappie will be a good watch if he ever comes to the Premier League. Knows where the goal is.

    1. Marvin Moon
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      I think he's nailed on for Real isn't he?

  7. Royal5
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Van Dijve

    1. JONALDINHO
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Definitely was not clipped

  8. Collie01
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Think I'll feel a bit unfortunate if Salah or Jota don't get something else from this match. Leeds look so open.

  9. have you seen cyan
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    no way Leeds scoring in this, will end -03 or 0-4

  10. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Bielsa needs a come to Jesus session midweek with the Leeds team after this

    They just haven’t gotten going this season at all

    Perfect time to intervene too - They could realistically win their next 6 if he hits the reset button properly with them

  11. Egg noodle
    • 14 Years

    Another Trent 12 pointer.
    And still only owned by 33%.

    Lol some people...

    1. JBG
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Ssshhhh let the non owners be.

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

      Don't jinx the clean sheet

    3. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

    4. TomSaints
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years

  12. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Elliot for Hendo please, Jurgen.

  13. Forza Papac
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Call it now. Jota will be subbed even though it should be Mane.

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Who for?

      1. Licky
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        One of the mids? Put Elliott further forward, maybe.

      2. Forza Papac
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Ox probably

      3. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Milner 😛

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

      But for whom? Bobby not on the bench I think

      1. Rainer
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Ox, experimental false 9.

    3. WVA
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Yep garanteed

  14. Gunneryank
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Fab why you gotta steal my baps man? Ain't cool dude.

    1. Zimo
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      What Baps?

      1. Andy_Social
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Salah's

        1. Zimo
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          They'll be gone anyways unless Liverpool concede

      2. Gunneryank
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Fab slipped in front with his goal

    2. Duke Silver ☑
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Trent about to say hello.

  15. Minus Four
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    WC team thoughts?

    Sanchez Steele
    TAA Shaw White Livramento Marcel
    Salah Greenwood Raphinha Gallagher Kovacic
    Ronaldo Lukaku Scarlett

    1. Karhumies
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      That's like 50% 352, 50% 442.

      If you can upgrade Kovacic to Gray, I think that would be a solid 352. If going for a 442, Kovacic could be a 4.5 to upgrade one of the 4.5 defs into a 5.0 (Tierney, Semedo, Dunk, Coufal for example).

      The other option is downgrading one of the premium forwrds into Vardy/Auba and spread that cash around.

  16. Shark Team
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    One year now still wondering how can Roberts play PL football?

  17. BIGREDDOG
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Any reason to wait to pull trigger on Antonio to Jimenez?

    1. FPL Emu
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Jimenez having scored zero goals and Antonio being player of the month?

  18. TomSaints
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Lukaku got a flukey late goal. Come on Salah

  19. FPL Emu
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Does Raphinha usually play this far from the goal? Stationed out wide and quite far behind a lot.

  20. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Noooooo 2 mins before subbing noooooo

  21. My heart goes Salalalalah

    1. AzzaroMax99

      1. My heart goes Salalalalah
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago
