Liverpool take on Leeds United in their first Premier League match tomorrow and it will be interesting to see how the Premier League champions begin their title defence.
Jurgen Klopp’s men were far from convincing during pre-season and they will have to improve a lot in order to beat Marcelo Bielsa’s side.
Leeds United are back in the Premier League after 16 years and they will be hoping to make their mark in top-flight football this year.
A win against Liverpool would give them a dream start and they will be desperate to pull off an upset at Anfield.
It will be interesting to see how the away side set up against the Liverpool’s world-class attacking trio. The Whites are quite impressive going forward but they have been vulnerable at the back under Marcelo Bielsa.
They will have to tighten up at the back in order to contain Liverpool’s attack. New defender Robin Koch will hope to make his mark in the game.
