Liverpool Vs Leeds United Tactical Preview: Team News, Key Men And Streaming Links

Liverpool will entertain Leeds United at Anfield on Wednesday night as they try to secure a win and close the gap to Manchester City at the top of the Premier League table. The Reds managed to earn a 3-1 victory over Norwich City last weekend. In contrast, the Whites suffered a 4-2 defeat at the hands of Manchester United.

Talking Tactics

Jurgen Klopp will set his team up in a 4-3-3 formation and could ask his men to dominate possession and create enough clear-cut chances to win this game.

Marcelo Bielsa will opt for a 4-1-4-1 formation and might ask his players to soak in all the pressure and try to catch the opposition off-guard on the counter.

Key Men

Liverpool

Mohamed Salah will once again be Liverpool’s most potent attacking weapon up top. Both Andrew Robertson and Trent Alexander-Arnold need to have a good game if the Reds are to cruise to an easy win in midweek.

Leeds United

Illan Meslier can expect a busy night in goal for Leeds, so he needs to be at the top of his game if the Whites are to stand a chance of claiming something from this game. Rodrigo and Jack Harrison will have to carry most of the goal-scoring workload for the visitors up top.
