Liverpool travel to Elland Road this afternoon for a clash against a Leeds side on the hunt for their first win of the season in the Premier League.
Marcelo Bielsa’s side were dismantled by Manchester United in the opening match of the campaign before playing out draws against Everton and Burnley. Leeds have since been boosted by the signing of Daniel James, however, and the Wales international could make his debut against the Reds today.

Both sides could be hit by the absence of their Brazil internationals after the country requested for the players to be banned from appearing in the match following a row over international call-ups.

Odds

Draw: 3/1
Liverpool: 3/4
Prediction
After the frustration of failing to break down 10-man Chelsea’s low block in the second half at Anfield, the likes of Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane are set to enjoy the space that will likely open up at Elland Road. The absence of Alisson is a concern for Liverpool but Kelleher filled in admirably last season and will be boosted by the presence of Virgil van Dijk in Liverpool’s defence. Leeds have yet to click so far this season and the loss of Raphinha could be the most significant one of the day. Leeds 1-3 Liverpool
