Leeds will take on Liverpool on Monday night as they continue their bid for Premier League survival.
Leeds suffered that embarrassing defeat to Crystal Palace last week and will be desperate to make amends on Monday night. With a third successive home game, Javi Gracia will be looking to get a result against the Reds to increase the two-point gap they have over the bottom three.
Liverpool are on a disappointing run of form having failed to win in any of their last four Premier League fixtures. However, they will be encouraged by the return of Luiz Diaz from injury and Jurgen Klopp will be keen to stop the rot with three points against the Whites.

Here’s what the pundits have predicted to happen when Liverpool make the trip to Elland Road.
Chris Sutton – BBC Sport
Writing in his latest BBC Sport column, Sutton said this: “This is just impossible to call. Which Leeds side will turn up, and for how long… and what kind of performance do we get from Liverpool this time?
“Leeds were actually really good in the first half against Crystal Palace last week, but they completely collapsed after the break. Liverpool kind of did the opposite against Arsenal, making such a poor start before fighting back. I really don’t understand why it took the Xhaka incident to fire them up and get them playing with the right intensity.
"Jurgen Klopp’s side have struggled on the road this season, particularly against teams in the bottom half of the table but you have to consider what damage that heavy Palace defeat has done to Leeds’ confidence at Elland Road. They need to show they are not as fragile as they appear.
“Liverpool’s defence and midfield has been a long way below their best this season, but their attack has still been a handful – so surely Leeds won’t keep them out. Equally, you just don’t know what you are going to get from the Reds defensively at the moment – I don’t see them keeping a clean sheer either, even against a team who seem to waste a lot of chances.”
Prediction: 1-1
Mark Lawrenson - Paddy Power
The former Liverpool defender made his prediction in his Paddy Power column, saying: "I’m going to this one and I’m looking forward to it. I love watching Leeds because they’re mad. Liverpool were still all over the place defensively last week but it was a little bit of the old Liverpool in the last 20 minutes and the crowd pulled them along with them."
Prediction: Leeds 1-2 Liverpool
Joleon Lescott - Live Score
"Leeds were really poor last week against Palace and are still far from safe," Lescott said on Live Score. "I have to go with Liverpool. If they are anywhere near where they were against Arsenal, they'll have too much for the hosts."
Prediction: Leeds 0-2 Liverpool
