Leeds United face Liverpool on Saturday evening in what is sure to be an incredibly difficult game for the Whites.
The Yorkshire club head into this one in absolutely dreadful form. They’ve not won in any of their last eight league games, and the last place you want to go after a run like this is Anfield.
Indeed, there arguably isn’t a tougher stadium to visit in Europe, and it’s fair to say that Leeds come into this one as massive underdogs.
However, as Nottingham Forest showed last week, Liverpool aren’t invincible, and if Leeds turn up here, they could nick a result.
With that in mind, we’ve had a go at predicting the Whites’ starting XI for this one.
We think that Jesse Marsch will make three changes from the team that lost to Fulham last weekend.
Marsch revealed before this game in his pre-match press conference that no fewer than six Leeds players are a doubt for this match, and changes have been made with that in mind.
Liam Cooper, Rodrigo and Crysencio Summerville drop out, while Diego Llorente, Patrick Bamford and Crysencio Summerville come in.
Summerville looked incredibly bright off the bench last weekend, but sadly he may not be able to continue his link-up with Joe Gelhardt as the ex-Wigan forward is also a doubt.
However, another youngster – Sam Greenwood retains his place in the starting XI here.
Luke Ayling and Pascal Struijk start at full-back, while Jack Harrison plays on the opposite flank to Summerville.
Tyler Adams remains out of action, so Marc Roca partners Greenwood in midfield, while Brendan Aaronson starts just behind Bamford.
If Leeds are to avoid relegation, their fortunes need to change sooner or later, but sadly, this doesn’t represent a great chance to get three points on the board as a trip to Anfield is an one of the Premier League’s toughest tasks.
