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.

    Time to replace VVD..
    Best replacement out of the below:

    A) Calafiori
    B) Van den Berg (good fixtures and frees up funds)
    C) Collins
    D) Rodon
    E) Cash
    F) Lacroix

    Current defense is: Senesi - Andersen - O’Reilly - Munoz

      like the look of collins, but not sure what went wrong today for brentford, looked very average.

      lacroix from that list would probably be the most reliable choice

          This is a different question. The more White plays and potentially excels at RB, the more rotation possible for Timber as well. He should get 6 GWs.

              I'm not asking you to get him, nor do I want you to believe me. It's what I think with Gabriel out, Saliba out and Mosquera out. Arteta should play him at CB over Timber even if Saliba is back. 6 GWs is less than a month.
