Clearly the best side in England, Liverpool strolled to success in the league last season. They were utterly ruthless all through, grinding out results, even against the toughest of oppositions. This PL triumph ultimately ended the Merseyside club’s 30-year wait to lift the prestigious trophy.

Meanwhile, Leeds led the way in the Championship, toppling the pack to gain promotion to the English top-flight. Now plying their trade in the top division, the Whites will have their work cut-out to snatch points from this imperious Liverpool side on Saturday.

Liverpool vs Leeds Team News

Liverpool will still be pretty hungover from the successes of the previous season, where they embarked on a relentless and record-breaking charge to the Premier League title. The Kop will forever be grateful to Klopp for bringing the highly-coveted trophy to Anfield.

Beginning the campaign in remarkable fashion, they quickly rose to the top of the standings, leaving rival teams chasing shadows. Despite blitzing to the summit early on, many expressed doubts over the Reds’ ability to maintain momentum till the end of the season.

However, Liverpool strived to remain focused, grabbing positive results week in week out. Props to Jurgen Klopp for managing to prevent complacency from creeping into his side’s camp. The Reds now have the Premier League trophy safely stashed in their cabinet.

Now, a new season is about to get underway and the standings have been refreshed. Liverpool will know that they need to grab a win in this opening game against Leeds to send their title-winning intent to the rest of the pack.

Having strolled to glory the previous season, the Reds will likely be up for it this time around. The likes of Manchester City, Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester United are sure to put forth a very strong challenge for the league title – much more than they managed last term.

Klopp’s men will be brewing with confidence heading into this fixture against newly-promoted Leeds United. However, the Reds have to be wary of the threat posed by the Whites. Bielsa’s men were on fire last season, going on a brilliant run to clinch the Championship title.

In so doing, the Peacocks made their return to the top division, following a lengthy 13-year absence from top-flight football. Even though they are inexperienced at this stage, it would be foolish to write off Leeds at this point.

Leeds United are a very strong side capable of grabbing results on their day. They ended their Championship campaign in fine form, winning five of their last six games. Nonetheless, too much cannot be read into that, given the poor quality of oppositions they had been up against.

That said, the addition of Rodrigo Moreno and Robin Koch to the squad will likely give them some much-needed confidence ahead of this season, probably propelling them to a respectable league finish.

These game sees two champions go up against each other – one conquering the Premier League with the other reigning supreme in the Championship. Leeds are very capable of causing the Reds some troubles in this fixture.

However, we expect Liverpool to weather the storm to post all three points on the board. Also, expect both sides to register goals in this one.
