Leeds United squad revealed for Liverpool as Whites sweat on Max Wober's fitness

Leeds United play host to Liverpool at Elland Road under the lights tonight. The Whites will be aiming to respond to their humiliating 5-1 defeat against Crystal Palace, and will also been keen to do the double over the Reds for the first time in 22 years.

Javi Gracia remains without Tyler Adams after the American underwent surgery on a hamstring injury last month, but Leeds have been assessing Max Wober over the past couple of days since Friday's pre-match press conference.

Wober's absence has hit Leeds hard in recent games. Without the Austrian, the Whites have conceded a dismal 10 goals in three games in the Premier League.

Defeats for Southampton, Leicester City and Everton on Saturday ensured that Leeds will have kept their noses out of the drop zone prior to this evening's clash, but the relegation battle remains far too close to call.

Liverpool travel to West Yorkshire in poor form having failed to win any of their last five in all competitions. However, they will be buoyed by their fightback against league leaders Arsenal, which saw them come from two goals behind to draw 2-2 last weekend.

Leeds won the reverse fixture 2-1 at Anfield in October, with Rodrigo opening the scoring, and Crysencio Summerville securing victory with a dramatic late winner.

Full Leeds United squad to face Liverpool: Illan Meslier, Joel Robles, Kristoffer Klaesson; Luke Ayling, Junior Firpo, Rasmus Kristensen, Robin Koch, Diogo Monteiro, Pascal Struijk, Max Wober, Liam Cooper; Marc Roca, Adam Forshaw, Weston McKennie, Darko Gyabi, Sam Greenwood, Archie Gray, Brenden Aaronson; Jack Harrison, Wilfried Gnonto, Luis Sinisterra, Crysencio Summerville, Georginio Rutter, Sonny Perkins, Patrick Bamford, Rodrigo.

Doubts: Max Wober
