Leeds vs Liverpool: Match Preview

Leeds United picked up a 2-1 win over Liverpool at Anfield earlier this season, and they will be hoping to replicate that feat at Elland Road now. The Whites are coming into this game on the back of just two wins from the last six league matches.

They were beaten 5-1 by Crystal Palace in their last outing at home. The fans will be hoping for a strong reaction from the players here. Meanwhile, Liverpool are without a win in the last four league matches, and they will be desperate to bounce back strongly.

Top four qualification is already in jeopardy and Liverpool will need a mini miracle to get back into the top for this season. Jurgen Klopp will demand a strong performance from the players, and it remains to be seen whether Liverpool can avenge their defeat to Leeds at home earlier in the season.

Team News:

Leeds:

Leeds have no new injury concerns going into Monday night's game but remain without Stuart Dallas, Tyler Adams and Maximilian Wober.

Patrick Bamford has got the nod over Rodrigo up front in Leeds' last couple of fixtures and his goal against Crystal Palace - albeit in a 5-1 defeat - should see him feature from the start once more.

Liverpool:

Luis Diaz could make his long-awaited return from injury, having missed six months of action after damaging knee ligaments in a 3-2 defeat at Arsenal.

He isn't likely to start, however, with manager Jurgen Klopp facing a selection dilemma after seeing Roberto Firmino come off the bench to equalise against the Gunners last week.

Predicted Line-ups:

Leeds predicted lineup vs Liverpool (4-2-3-1): Meslier; Ayling, Koch, Struijk, Firpo; McKennie, Roca; Harrison, Aaronson, Sinisterra; Bamford.

Liverpool predicted lineup (4-3-3): Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Henderson, Fabinho, Thiago; Nunez, Gakpo, Salah.
