Liverpool will lock horns with Leeds United at Elland Road this Saturday evening as they look to secure all three points on the road in the Premier League. The Reds were held to a frustrating 1-1 draw versus Sunderland recently, so they would be eager to get back to winning ways this weekend.
Arne Slot will set his players up in a 4-2-3-1 formation and is expected to make some tweaks to his first team for this contest. Mohamed Salah, Hugo Ekitike and Milos Kerkez could all play from the start of this game.
4-2-3-1 Liverpool Predicted Lineup To Face Leeds United
Defence
Alisson Becker will feature in between the sticks for the Reds after conceding one goal in his last outing. Ibrahima Konate will continue to play alongside Virgil Van Dijk at the centre of the Liverpool backline as they look to keep a solid shape on the defensive end of the field.
Dominik Szoboszlai will fill in as the right-back, while Milos Kerkez looks to give a good account of himself on the other side as the left-back. Both of them will have to pick and choose their moments to join in on the attack.
Joe Gomez and Andy Robertson will offer cover for the defensive positions on the bench.
Midfield
Alexis Mac Allister and Ryan Gravenberch will anchor the midfield for the Merseyside club as they try to establish their dominance over the opposition at the centre of the park.
The talented trio of Cody Gakpo, Florian Wirtz and Mohamed Salah will operate just ahead of them as part of Slot’s attack. All three of them need to combine well if the Reds are to come out on top at Elland Road this weekend.
Curtis Jones, Wataru Endo and Federico Chiesa will have to be content with a place on the bench and might come on to influence the game in the second half if required.
Attack
Hugo Ekitike could get a chance to lead the charge for the Merseyside giants up top. He has to figure out a way to be a constant menace in the final third.
Alexander Isak will be available for selection on the bench as he awaits his chance to make an impact in the latter stages if needed.
