Liverpool would aim to close the gap on Manchester City to three points as they gear up to welcome an under-fire Leeds United to Anfield on Wednesday night.
Jurgen Klopp’s men came from behind to claim a 3-1 win over the league’s new boys Norwich City last weekend and Liverpool will be backed to secure another three points to make a push for the title.
Leeds, meanwhile, despite attempting a valiant comeback were handed a 4-2 defeat by arch rivals Manchester United who put out an inspired showing in the final stages of the Elland Road showdown.
The midweek outing for Liverpool would be one looked forward by the fans with Manchester City’s defeat to Spurs last time around opening the door for Jordan Henderson and Co. to move within three points of them in the standings.
