Liverpool host Leeds in Premier League thriller

|

Liverpool host Leeds United in a potential thriller at Anfield on Saturday night, with pressure increasing on both sides after poor starts to the season.

Jurgen Klopp’s men bounced back from their 1-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest with an impressive 3-0 victory over Ajax in the Champions League during the week.

Currently sitting 8th in the Premier League, the Reds can’t afford to lose any more ground in the race for top four with Newcastle five points clear of Liverpool.

Similarly, Leeds United manager, Jesse Marsch, finds himself under immense pressure after their 3-2 defeat at home to Fulham last weekend leaving his side without a win in their last eight games.

However, it is important to note that despite their awful recent form, Leeds United have shown glimpses of good performances this season with their 3-0 victory over Chelsea being the highlight of their season so far.

With five games to go until the World Cup, Liverpool need to string together some form to get some wins on the board, facing Leeds, Napoli, Tottenham, Derby and Southampton before the winter break.

This clash is a historic fixture in England, with unlimited amounts of memorable moments over the years- both recent and historically.
