Liverpool vs Leeds United: Lineups and LIVE updates

Boosted after punching their ticket to UEFA Champions League knockout rounds, Liverpool will want to get back to winning ways in the Premier League when they welcome historic rivals Leeds United to Anfield on Saturday evening.

Liverpool are currently in eighth place in the Premier League standings at the moment and have had a stop-start campaign so far this season.

The Merseyside giants eased past Ajax by a 3-0 scoreline in their previous game and will aim to replicate a similar performance this weekend as they look to rebound after a harrowing defeat to Nottingham Forest last time out in the English top-flight.

Leeds United, on the other hand, are sitting precariously in 18th place in the relegation zone of the Premier League and have largely underwhelmed thus far this season.

The Yorkshire outfit were defeated 3-2 by Fulham last week and are in desperate need to get a result in this game, with manager Jesse Marsch under-fire from the Whites' fanbase at the moment. However, their task doesn't get any easier up against a wounded Liverpool at Anfield.
