Liverpool will look to add to Leeds United’s woes when the two sides meet at Anfield in their next Premier League encounter on Saturday evening.
The Reds are hoping to bounce back and turn their fortunes around in the league following their shock 1-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest last weekend.
Leeds are attempting to end their eight-game winless run in the league. Last week, they fell to a thrilling 3-2 defeat at the hands of Fulham
Liverpool’s latest wobble saw them remain in eighth position on the table with 16 points from 11 matches, while Leeds dropped down to the relegation zone – level on nine points with Wolves and Nottingham Forest.
When the two teams squared off in the Premier League last season, the Reds dominated both home and away fixtures, scoring a total of nine goals after they claimed a 3-0 win in the first leg followed by an impressive 6-0 win in the return leg.
Jurgen Klopp is expected to have six players unavailable for the clash, including Arthur, Luis Diaz, Diogo Jota, Naby Keita, Joel Matip and Thiago.
Jesse Marsch will only have four players on the sideline through injury, which includes the likes of Stuart Dallas, Adam Forshaw, Leo Hjelde and Archie Gray.
Darwin Núñez has slowly begun to find his form for Liverpool after netting two goals in his last three league appearances to take his goal tally to three goals and one assist in seven appearances.
Rodrigo will look to continue his form in front of goal after he got his name on the score sheet in their defeat to Fulham, which took his goal-scoring record to five goals in 10 matches.
