Details of planned Leeds protest against Liverpool and European Super League

Leeds United fans are planning to protest outside Elland Road against the European Super League plans involving Liverpool.

The Reds face Marcelo Bielsa's side in the Premier League on Monday night, but the game is set against a backdrop of widespread and serious anger after plans emerged on Sunday evening that the top flight's so-called 'big six' were all planning to launch a breakaway league.

Under the plans, an initial twelve of European football’s biggest clubs have joined forces to form a money spinning new Super League - including Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City, Manchester United and Tottenham.

The competition would see a founding 15 teams locked into the competition every season and five qualifying places allotted to other sides.

There has been widespread condemnation from supporters across the board, including from each participating club, and rival fans who would previously have agreed on very little have found something to bring them together.

Now, ahead of Liverpool clash with Leeds, details have emerged about a planned protest at Elland Road.

The Whites' fan base are set to meet both teams as they arrive at the ground to make their feelings known about the proposed ESL.

A plane will also fly a banner over the stadium at kick off.
