How Leeds United could line up against Liverpool - Sports

sportsmole.co.uk, 17 April 2021, 11:06

Leeds United are sweating over the fitness of Liverpool-linked attacker Raphinha for the visit of the Premier League champions at Elland Road on Monday night.

The Brazilian was forced off deep into added time during their win over Manchester City last weekend, and while he has not been ruled out of this encounter, a late fitness test will determine whether he is ready to take to the field or not.

As a result, Helder Costa could keep his spot on the right-hand side of the attack, and Jack Harrison makes a timely return to the fold after he was ineligible to face his parent club.

Skipper Liam Cooper serves the first of a three-game ban after his early red card against Man City, so Robin Koch and Pascal Struijk will both hope to deputise alongside Diego Llorente, and the former may get the nod.

With Rodrigo still out of contention as he battles his way back from a muscular problem, Tyler Roberts will hope to keep his place in the middle alongside Stuart Dallas - the two-goal hero from last week's win at the Etihad - although Mateusz Klich is an option for Marcelo Bielsa.

Patrick Bamford will be eyeing his 15th Premier League goal of the season against an inexperienced Reds backline, although the 27-year-old has netted just once in his last six top-flight outings.

Leeds United possible starting lineup:

Meslier; Ayling, Llorente, Koch, Alioski; Phillips; Costa, Dallas, Roberts, Harrison; Bamford
