Liverpool fans send Curtis Jones message after start against Leeds United

Curtis Jones has been handed a start in the Liverpool midfield as Leeds United visit Anfield in the Premier League.

The 21-year-old has missed out on the last three matchday squads for the Reds, but has been handed a chance to impress alongside Thiago Alcantara and Fabinho.

A win for Liverpool will see the gap to Manchester City at the top of the Premier League cut to just three points.

Liverpool fans took to social media to express their views on Jurgen Klopp handing Jones a start in midfield in what is a must-win game for the Reds.

Jones is starting for the first time alongside the formidable duo of Thiago and Fabinho - this will only help the youngster rediscover his best form.

"Am I right in thinking, Curtis is playing in midfield alongside Fabinho and Thiago for the first time? Go get it! 21."

With the Carabao Cup final coming up on Sunday against Chelsea, Jones will be looking to stake a claim to be at least involved in the matchday squad.

"Big night for Curtis Jones. Reckon Klopp’s had him chained up and he’ll be let off his leash tonight with a point to prove."

One fan was confident in Jones finding the back of the net with a 'worldie': "Curtis Jones is about to score an absolute worldie, come back to this."

Liverpool know a win tonight will see them move to within touching distance of City at the top of the league.

"Good to see Curtis Jones Get a start and it's good to see a strong XI and bench again. COME ON REDMEN get the 3 points!"
