There’s one more Premier League match to come today: Leeds United v Liverpool.

Kick-off is at 5.30pm GMT.

TEAM NEWS

For the third game in a row, Mohamed Salah is only among the substitutes for Liverpool.

Arne Slot has made four changes elsewhere to his side, however.

Conor Bradley is one: he returns from injury to replace Joe Gomez at right-back.

Hugo Ekitike ousts Alexander Isak up top, too.

Curtis Jones and Milos Kerkez are also in for Alexis Mac Allister and Andrew Robertson.

Leeds make two changes from the side that beat Chelsea.

One is enforced as Lukas Nmecha is injured, so in comes Noah Okafor. Dominic Calvert-Lewin is passed fit to start.

In the other alteration, Ao Tanaka makes way for Ilia Gruev.

LINE-UPS

Leeds United XI: Perri; Bogle, Bijol, Struijk, Rodon, Gudmundsson; Gruev, Ampadu, Stach; Okafor, Calvert-Lewin.

Subs: Darlow, Byram, Justin, Bornauw, Tanaka, Harrison, Aaronson, Gnonto, Piroe.

Liverpool XI: Alisson; Bradley, Konate, Van Dijk, Kerkez; Jones, Gravenberch, Szoboszlai; Wirtz, Gakpo, Ekitike.

Subs: Mamardashvili, Gomez, Endo, Isak, Mac Allister, Salah, Chiesa, Robertson, Ngumoha.

      Defcon is basically BAPS for certain defensive actions. They broke it out from BAPS to reward players who perform these actions well and are less involved offensively

        Can’t do - Senesi nowhere near bonus and got 12 defcons! Have noticed it lots of matches too, I’ve noticed if a defender does well in defcons their bps is nerfed

            So realistically if you do well in one you should do well in the other

      Defcons count individual actions, BPS is a combo of those actions... eg
      For every 2 clearances, blocks and interceptions (total) = 1 bps
      For every 3 recoveries = 1 bps
