James Michael Justin - Still another month away Justin (ACL) is still about four-to-five weeks away from a possible return, according to manager Brendan Rodgers. "He's been working so hard, morning noon and into the evenings as...

Impact Justin's timeline hasn't changed, which is usually good news. Once back on the pitch, he'll then need to get back to match fitness and from there, he'll be ready to start. Given that process, he probably won't be an option to start until November and that's if all goes to plan.

Jonny Evans - Plays full 90 in Cup win Evans (foot) went the full 90 in Wednesday's Cup win against Millwall.

Impact Evans made a quick return from his nagging foot injury and surprisingly went the full 90. It's a great sign for the center-back, who probably isn't out of the woods just yet. At this point, he maybe shouldn't start twice in one week, but it at least looks like he's ready to contend for starts again.

Kasper Schmeichel - three saves in loss Schmeichel made three saves during Sunday's 2-1 defeat to Brighton.

Impact Schmeichel made three saves on five shots faced but didn't get help from the team in front of him and came away with the loss. The keeper will look to improve that form moving forward as he has been solid for the most part this season. Next up is a favorable Saturday clash with Burnley.

SEPTEMBER 20, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Ryan Bertrand - Three crosses in loss Bertrand sent in three crosses (two accurate), creating no chances during Sunday's 2-1 defeat to Brighton.

Impact Bertrand ended up on the wrong side of the upset Sunday as Brighton controlled the game. Bertrand did well on both sides of the ball and built a relatively stable floor with his duty on corners. He will hope to keep that going, and avoid an upset Saturday, at home against Burnley.

Ricardo Pereira - Busy defensively in loss Pereira made four tackles and three interceptions during Sunday's 2-1 defeat to Brighton.

Impact Pereira was surprisingly busy Sunday as Brighton controlled the match and bombed forward in waves. The defender was able to add plenty of volume and added two chances created. Next up is a Saturday clash with Burnley.

SEPTEMBER 20, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Youri Tielemans - Assists in win Tielemans provided one assist on five inaccurate shots during Sunday's 2-1 defeat to Brighton.

Impact Tielemans fell on the wrong side of a big upset Sunday, but still produced a good fantasy performance. The midfielder has been relatively quiet this season, with this being just his first assist in five matches. Next up is a Saturday clash with Burnley.

SEPTEMBER 20, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Jamie Vardy - Scores third in five games Vardy scored once on three shots (one on goal) during Sunday's 2-1 defeat to Brighton.

Impact Vardy is showing no signs of slowing down in his age 34 season, moving to three goals in five league appearances. The striker is still absolutely elite and against soft opposition he can feast. Next up is one of those soft matches, at home against Burnley on Saturday.

SEPTEMBER 20, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Ayoze Perez - Available after suspension Perez is available after serving a three-match suspension because of a straight red card.

Impact Perez is available as soon as Wednesday's Cup match and then will be an option for Saturday's league game against Burnley. He's started when available this season, though he went just 45 minutes in last week's UEL draw against Napoli despite scoring a goal.

Jonny Evans - Starts midweek, leaves injured Evans started in Thursday's UEL match and then left after the break because of his foot injury. According to manager Brendan Rodgers, "We just need to wait and see," Rodgers said o...

Impact This isn't too surprising for Evans, as it seems like the team is pushing him a little too much. Plantar fasciitis is something that takes a long time to recover from and even if he's felt well enough to get on the pitch, playing twice in five days probably isn't the best route for an injury that has kept Evans out since the end of last season.
