Leeds United Form and Team News

Leeds are presently placed in the 15th position after three games into the league season. They are yet any game nonetheless. They have had two draws and a loss to their name so far. Leeds United made a historic comeback last season into the premier league after more than 17 years and surely they did justice to the comeback somewhat after finishing in the top ten. They would now want to continue building on the momentum gained here to improve their position and cause some upsets along the way. The recent form is not that great however with just a win in the last nine games. They are playing against Liverpool and they are also not in the best form coming into this match, which could make up for a compelling watch to see how Leeds would respond to this new season and will they be able to continue building on the momentum.

Most managers would have crumbled under the pressure of the Premier League after getting promoted in a long time, but then Argentine Marcelo Bielsa had different ideas and had made the team compete no matter what and end up winning on several occasions and finishing where they did was no mean feat. It’s time now for Bielsa to start dreaming big and what they can do from here on to finish in the top half of the table and see where they go from there.  Bamford and Rodrigo have potential and can score big on their day. Welsh Prodigy Daniel James is also someone to look out for in this season. 

Liverpool Form and Team News

Liverpool so far have been ok to say nonetheless but have they really asserted their dominance in the league, the answer is a ‘NO’. They could have did that in the last game against arch rivals Chelsea but had to setttle for a draw. Liverpool in the last season were unfortunately troubled by a lot of injuries to key players and that in turn had a major effect in them not getting into the groove in any of the competitions they were part of, still managing to finish third in the points table is a great achievement. They are playing against Leeds United in their next match and they would want to shrug off whatever wrong they have done so far. Leeds are not in the greatest of form in the Premier League as well, but Liverpool can’t be complacent and still need to fire to their capacity and get the momentum going their way. This will help them in the tough matches they are going to be part of in the latter part.

Jurgen Klopp would hope for lesser injuries this season, and everything else would fall into place for the reds. The Salah, Mane, Firmino combo was not able replicate what they have been doing in the past season in the last season, but again this can be associated with Firmino’s regular injury breaks. Virgil is back and a major piece of the puzzle is sorted for Klopp with that, he missed the entirety of the last season and that showed in the defence as well, the reds can heave a sigh of relief.
