Jack Harrison admits seeing Liverpool lose against Nottingham Forest last weekend was a surprise and is expecting a difficult game this weekend. Jurgen Klopp's Reds have struggled on the road but are still unbeaten in the Premier League at home.
Despite their poor form on the road, Liverpool beat Manchester City and West Ham 1-0 in their last two home outings. They bounced back from disappointment at the City Ground by defeating Ajax 3-0 in the Champions League.
“It was definitely a surprise,” Harrison told Leeds United. “You look at the squad and the team they’ve got, I don’t have to say anything really.

“It’s going to be difficult. I think you can expect a difficult game against them regardless of their previous result and we know we have to give everything. We know that we can achieve our goal and hopefully get the three points, that’s something we are striving for.
"We know it’s achievable. We’re going to be pushing for as many points as we can and just give it everything.”
Leeds were beaten 3-2 by Fulham in their last outing despite taking the lead through Rodrigo after 20 minutes. The Whites inconsistency has been their own downfall, but Harrison says they've been trying to come up with solutions.
“Really disappointing, it’s been like that for a few games now,” Harrison said. “We’ve been playing well and up until the final third it’s been good, we just can’t finish off the last action or get the goals we need.
“So, it’s something we’ve been working hard on, trying to find solutions to finish games off and get the points we’ve been deserving for the last few games. It’s so important to stick together as a team and try to stay positive.
“We’ve been working really hard as a team and I think that’s what is great about being here, everyone brings their best every day and is willing to improve the team in whatever way we need to."
