Leeds will be without Longstaff and James, both sidelined with injuries. Daniel Farke is expected to keep faith with the same starting eleven that secured the victory against Chelsea, opting for a back three.
Liverpool manager Arne Slot has several selection dilemmas. Bajcetic, Leoni, and Frimpong are all unavailable due to injury, while Bradley is doubtful. Wirtz is expected to retain his place in the starting lineup after a promising performance in the draw against Sunderland. Salah could also return to the starting eleven, while Ekitike is likely to replace Isak up front. Gomez may continue at right-back, with Bradley still struggling for fitness.

Leeds vs Liverpool Match Prediction
The pressure was just starting to crank up on Daniel Farke following four straight defeats, but Leeds produced their best performance of the season to beat Chelsea and move three points clear of the relegation-zone.
But you have to go back to November 2000 - when Mark Viduka scored four in a 4-3 victory - for the last time Leeds got the better of Liverpool at Elland Road.
Liverpool's desperate slump continued on Wednesday as they could only draw at home to Sunderland, meaning it's just five points from the last 27 points available in the Premier League.
The Reds head to Elland Road sitting as close to leaders Arsenal as the relegation-zone.
Score Prediction: Leeds 0-2 Liverpool

Leeds welcome Liverpool to Elland Road with the mood suddenly transformed after their shock 3-1 win over Chelsea. Daniel Farke’s switch to a back three has injected some life into a side that looked short on belief a week ago, and the response against two elite opponents has been impressive. They pushed Manchester City to the brink before that late heartbreak, then outworked Chelsea with the same aggressive 3-5-2 setup. Confidence is finally returning, even if injuries to key forwards threaten to disrupt the momentum.
Liverpool arrive in a very different headspace. The champions may have stopped the rot with a draw against Sunderland, but the broader picture remains messy with six defeats in nine and a habit of conceding first away from home. Arne Slot’s side still look not all there, and even their midweek point required a last ditch block to avoid defeat. They retain enough attacking quality to trouble anyone, but cohesion is still missing.
Elland Road should be bouncing, and Leeds’ energy under the new system makes this far from straightforward for Liverpool.
Ampadu 1+ Foul Won
Ampadu has been a reliable target for fouls lately, winning one in 8 of his last 11 appearances including two against Chelsea in midweek. Liverpool will apply the same kind of aggressive pressure that Leeds faced against Chelsea and Man City, and Ampadu’s role in tight midfield areas should draw contact again. I’m backing him to win another foul here under Liverpool’s intense press.
Kerkez 2+ Tackles
Kerkez was only on the bench against Sunderland after feeling cramp following the West Ham match, but he should come back into the XI here. When he starts, he’s been extremely active averaging 2.04 tackles per 90 and he’s racked up 10 tackles across his last two full outings. He should be against Bogle for Leeds who is averaging the third most for dispossessions in the team, perfect for Kerkez tackles.
Nmecha 1 Shot On Target
Leeds’ new system has clicked, and Nmecha’s role up front has been a big part of it. He’s now started four straight games, scoring in three of them and hitting the target in all four. With Liverpool vulnerable in transition and often exposed by direct balls in behind, this matchup suits him. Leeds will look to break quickly and play forward early, and Nmecha tends to be on the end of those chances. At these odds, a single shot on target feels very reasonable given how the game is likely to flow.
