Team News and Predicted Line-Ups
Leeds manager Daniel Farke has a relatively healthy squad to choose from following their morale-boosting midweek victory. Only Daniel James and Sean Longstaff are confirmed absentees. James Justin made a return from injury as a substitute last time out and could be in contention for a starting role.
Liverpool may receive a defensive boost with Conor Bradley potentially returning from a muscle issue. All attention, however, will be on team selection, particularly regarding Mohamed Salah. The Egyptian star has been named on the bench for Liverpool's last two outings, a trend that manager Arne Slot must decide whether to continue.
Form Guide and Match Context
The build-up to this clash is framed by a dramatic contrast in recent fortunes. Leeds head into the game buoyed by a stunning 3-1 win over Chelsea at Elland Road on Wednesday. Goals from Jaka Bijol, Ao Tanaka, and Dominic Calvert-Lewin sealed a famous result that lifted them two points clear of the relegation zone.
Liverpool, in stark contrast, are struggling for form and consistency. They narrowly avoided a tenth defeat in 14 games by scraping a 1-1 draw with Sunderland in their last match, a result that has done little to ease the mounting pressure on manager Arne Slot. The Reds will be desperate to replicate their recent result at another relegation-threatened side, West Ham.
Predicted Leeds XI: Perri; Rodon, Bijol, Struijk; Bogle, Stach, Tanaka, Ampadu, Gudmundsson; Calvert-Lewin, Nmecha.
Predicted Liverpool XI: Alisson; Bradley, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Gravenberch, Jones; Salah, Wirtz, Chiesa; Ekitike.
