Leeds United head into Monday’s Elland Road meeting with Liverpool knowing a win could move them five points clear of the relegation zone.
The Whites will host the final game of the Premier League weekend looking to make the most of Nottingham Forest’s home defeat against Manchester United on Sunday afternoon. As well as having the motivation of knowing a win will boost their bid for survival in the Premier League, Javi Gracia’s side will also hope they can banish the memory of their last home game when Crystal Palace romped to a 5-1 win at Elland Road.
Gracia and Liverpool counterpart Jurgen Klopp have some big calls to make ahead of the game as a number of key players struggle to find fitness ahead of the game. With just hours to go until the kick-off, the Evening Post takes a look at the latest injury news and assesses who could line up at Elland Road on Monday night.
