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

    Mane ruined any chance of saving my GW

  2. EmreCan Hustle

    This is just sad now.

    Mane saving the goals, right? RIGHT?

    1. svasei - Up (?) the Rovers
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      He's always been the 0-0-0-0-hattrick-0-0 type.

      1. Rainer

        Brace vs Palace with a Salah blank.

    2. JBG
      • 5 Years

      Yes for his next team after Klopp has enough of him.

    3. Scholes Out For Summer

      He used up all his mojo for that final day brace

      Definitely 'due'. Definitely... Well, maybe. One day.

        Aye-aye 😛

    Elliott tackle has ruined the vibe of the game for me. How people could even argue the red too is absurd. Sure he got the ball but he came flying in with a scissor tackle from behind two feet in the air.

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Sad, an injury like that could very well ruin his career.

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

        Thankfully a leg break isn’t as bad as a ligament injury

    2. LC1
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Scissor kick from behind with two feet in the air?

      Genuine question - If Elliott didn't get injured, do you think it would be a freekick / red card?

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

        Would’ve went to var and been a red 100%. Struijk went flying in with 2 feet in the air. Clearly connected with Elliott.

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

          He didn't fly in with 2 feet in the air

    3. Ógie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      The ref didn't even blow for a fowl initially?

      1. Ógie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Foul i mean

  5. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    If i was a Liverpool player,i wouldn't pass the ball to Mane for the rest of the match

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

    Lol

  7. gooberman
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Why didnt Klopp take Mane off instead of Jota? Baffling.

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

      Portuguese minutes.

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

      Because Mane is benched next game

  8. Viprin
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Super Sadio

  9. Scholes Out For Summer
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Mane is taking the p now surely

  10. Dušan Citizen
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    I really hate how Jota was subbed off, but Mane who is shocking stays until the end. He should have been subbed off atleast for punishment for being so selfish.

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

      Poor management from Klopp

      1. Dušan Citizen
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Agree, but it is usual from Klopp to know nothing about psychology. He himself looks like a psychopath.

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

    The Mane bashing is getting tiresome now children. Give it a rest eh?

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

      This Mane "show" is just funny at this point 😀

    2. svasei - Up (?) the Rovers
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Well he's desperately trying to score a goal that's not there instead of playing to Salah.

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

      His play is just extraordinarily shocking for him though. It's amazing to watch in a car crash sort of way.

  12. Scholes Out For Summer
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Liverpool players: don’t pass to him, I swear on my mother he is playing against us

  13. jackruet
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Desperate average player shooting like crazy. Doesnt deserve pool

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

    Thoughts on this unorthodox 4-3-3 WC team and plan?

    Sanchez
    Trent, Shaw, Tierney, Semedo
    Salah, Jota, Torres
    Vardy, DCL, Bamford

    Steele, James, 4.5, 4.5

    GW6: Save FT
    GW7: Jota & Vardy -> Raphina & Lukaku

    1. Glad He Ate Her

      Games almost over, wait

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

        Glad he ate her?

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

          Say it a few times, it may take some people a while to get it

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

            Oh dear

              2 years, 7 months ago

              I don't think you'll get it unfortunately.. Don't want you thinking too hard now.. Gladiator

    2. ralfb

      Missing Ronaldo and lukaku

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

        Plan for Lukaku thought after tot/MCY. But yeah, no CR7 is the big ommision. Tricky fixtures?

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

    You've got to be kidding me...

  16. BenDavies
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Mane is so selfish. Salah would have 100% passed in that situation. Mane is a manchild.

  17. EmreCan Hustle
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Jota should keep his place after Firmino returns. Mane shouldn't start in the league.

  18. Gudjohnsen
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    I seriously think Liverpool need to upgrade Mané

    1. Scholes Out For Summer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      His name is Jota

  19. Forza Papac
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years

  23. jackruet
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Apart from 3-4 players most of the pool players are average. Ox, Henderson are just jokes

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

      They do have a real drop off in quality from first 11

  24. mgilbert86
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Honestly having a hard time deciding between Salah or Ronaldo

    1. SADIO SANÉ
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Think I’ve ballsed up, Salah is better

      1. Simon69

  29. have you seen cyan

  30. Simon69
