Konate And Thiago To Start: Gomez And Henderson Out: Liverpool’s Predicted XI To Face Leeds

Liverpool got back to winning ways with a well-earned 3-0 win over Ajax midweek, and they will be looking to carry that form into their match against Leeds this weekend.

Whites boss Jesse Marsch is under pressure after four straight defeats so the home side will be favourites for the three points at Anfield.

In terms of the team, Alisson will start in goal, with Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andy Robertson expected to be selected as the two fullbacks.

Ibrahima Konate is back in training so this may be the game where the Frenchman returns to partner Virgil van Dijk in the centre of defence, with Joe Gomez making way.

Captain Jordan Henderson picked up a knock versus Ajax so Thiago may come back into the eleven if he is able to overcome an ear infection. Fabinho will likely partner the Spaniard in a midfield two.

Manager Jurgen Klopp could stick with the front four of Darwin Nunez, Roberto Firmino, Mo Salah and Harvey Elliott that started on Wednesday night.

Liverpool’s Predicted XI To Play Leeds:

Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Konate, van Dijk, Robertson, Thiago, Fabinho, Elliott, Firmino, Salah, Nunez
