KO: 1630
Teams:
Leeds: Meslier, Ayling, Firpo, Cooper, Llorente, Dallas, Phillips, Harrison, Raphinha, Rodrigo, Bamford.
Liverpool: Alisson, Trent, Matip, Van Dijk, Robertson, Fabinho, Thiago, Elliott, Salah, Jota, Mane
Elland Road takes centre stage as Leeds United host Sunday’s only Premier League (PL) fixture. The international break will have been welcomed by Marcelo Bielsa, who saw his team concede first and go winless in their opening three games of the season (D2, L1). A similarly poor start here would put them at serious risk of rewriting history by going winless in their first four games of a top-flight campaign for the first time since 1958/59!
Fortunes have been better at home, as Leeds are undefeated in the last seven when hosting (W3, D4), their longest such run in the top-flight since 2001. The ‘Whites’ did the double over Liverpool during that 2000/01 season too, but the fact they’ve gone eight PL H2H fixtures without victory since (D3, L5) will be fresh in their memory.
Liverpool may have seen the international break as a chance to calm frustrations after failing to breach ten-man Chelsea last time out, eventually settling for a 1-1 draw. Coming into the weekend though, only Brentford (15 - excluding playoffs) can say they have a longer unbeaten league run than Liverpool's 13 in England's top-four tiers (W10, D3). The ‘Reds’ set the tempo early in those 13 games too, scoring before HT in 11.
Away from home, Liverpool have won seven of their last eight PL matches (D1), five with a clean sheet. They particularly enjoy the 70-mile trip to Elland Road, having lost only once in their last nine league visits here (W5, D3).
Players to watch: Leeds striker Patrick Bamford has five goal contributions in his last seven PL outings (G4, A1), while Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah is sitting on 99 PL goals in 161 appearances, and a goal here would make him the fifth fastest player to join ‘the 100’ club.
Hot stat: Liverpool have failed to score in only one of the last 22 H2Hs

That LB is Firpo was poor. I remember Klopp wanted him before signing for Barcelona. Dodged a bullet

You can see it was clearly an accident, Struijk got the ball. Hope it is not as bad as it looked and a speedy recovery for the kid. Rivalry aside, no one wants to see injury like this happen to any players, let alone a very bright youngster.

It's not the leg that got the ball that's an issue, it's the other leg.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes, but it wasn’t that he touched the leg with his stud, was it.

I think it was that trailing lef went straight through him. But I do think it was unintentional

No, it was the fact he jumped in the air and landed on Elliotts leg, doesn’t matter if he meant it “which I don’t think he did” as soon as he left the floor and jumped into the tackle.

I expect you probably slated FSG for not signing him….

Great win and performance. Just gutted about Harvey. Really need Mane to remember how to finish too.

Klopp quite emotional
Basically said enough is enough about Elliott.
Sky are ghouls

Was at the game today thought you lot were magnificent and nullified any threat we had first 10 mins. Was men vs boys for 75 mins plus though, not seen a better team at Elland road for a long time
However, I was also at Anfield be Chelsea and thought they were the better side when it was 11 v 11 and had you on the rope at home with their counter attacks….. think not signing 1/2 players this season might cost you a real push for the title but you’ll be there abouts
