Leeds United host soon to be ex champions Liverpool on Monday night as both sides seek to register a third consecutive victory in the league.
Leeds come into the game buzzing after they beat Manchester City 2-1 last time out with 10 men on the pitch, which saw them leapfrog Aston Villa on the log.
Liverpool were also victorious by the same score-line against Villa, leaving them in sixth place with 52 points.
Leeds could become just the second team in the Premier League to beat both the league leaders and reigning champions in consecutive matches – following in Everton’s footsteps from the 2009-10 season.
The reverse fixture, played at Anfield on the opening weekend of the season, was a captivating affair that saw Liverpool eke out a narrow 4-3 win over Leeds United.
Jurgen Klopp’s side need a win if they are to keep their hopes alive of securing a Champions League spot next season, having just bowed out at the hands of Real Madrid.
What time does Leeds vs Liverpool start?
The game kicks off at 10pm at Elland Road.
