Leeds vs Liverpool LIVE: Premier League latest score, goals and updates from fixture today

18 mins: Fabinho’s been booked for a late challenge in midfield. Leeds work the ball out to Jack Harrison on the left wing and he drives forward before taking on the Liverpool defence. He weaves into the box as Rodrigo makes a darting run towards the near post. Harrison looks to play in the ball but takes a touch too many and Liverpool are are to dispossess him.

15 mins: Chance for Jota! Harvey Elliott and Mo Salah combine on the right side before Salah cuts into the middle a flicks a nice pass into the box for Diogo Jota. He brings the ball down on his chest and hits a volley at goal but it’s a soft shot and Illan Meslier is able to keep it out without much trouble.

12 mins: Raphinha heads a corner ball away for Leeds and it comes all the way back to Alisson. He keeps the pressure on by sending the ball quickly back into Leeds’ final third. It comes to Salah who dinks a pass into the box as Mane looks to roll off Cooper. The Leeds captain knows he’s beaten so pulls Mane back to give away a free kick. He gets booked for his efforts too.

9 mins: Junior Firpo tries to get tight to Salah but the Egyptian rolls away from him and looks to break in behind. Salah wants to play on as Firpo clings onto him but referee Craig Pawson blows for a Liverpool free kick.

Alexander-Arnold looks to swing one into the box but doesn’t beat the first defenders and Leeds clear the danger.

Leeds 0 - 0 Liverpool

6 mins: Leeds should be in front. Mo Salah attacks down Liverpool’s right but is stopped on the edge of the box by Kalvin Phillips. He delivers a perfect cross field pass over to Raphinha whose first touch is superb. He carries the ball into the box before squaring it to Rodrigo who’s free in the box. He chooses power over placement and blasts an effort at goal that Alisson gets behind and stops. He needs to score there, huge chance for Leeds!

3 mins: Bamford makes a run in between the Liverpool centre-backs and brings down an aerial ball in the box. He takes a touch and fires off a casual shot that goes wide of the near post. The offside flag goes up and Bamford’s reaction shows he was expecting it.

Kick off: Both teams take the knee and are met with a big round of applause from the crowd. Patrick Bamford then kicks off the match sending the ball back to his defence. Liam Cooper attempts to pick out Raphinha on the right wing but his pass is intercepted by Andy Robertson and Liverpool take over possession.

Chants of “Yorkshire, Yorkshire, Yorkshire” from the Leeds supporters meet the players as they head out onto the pitch. The atmosphere inside Elland Road is electric. This should be a good one.

Leeds boss, Marcelo Bielsa, gave his thoughts on the returning Raphinha, new signing Dan James and opponents Liverpool before kick off saying:

“(Raphinha being available) is a positive for football in general and us in particular. Dan James is one of the options we count on in the wide positions. In occasions he will start, on occasions he won’t.

“Liverpool are a great team with very good players and a superior manager. All the games in the Premier League are difficult and this one is too considering the individuality and their general play.

“In the game against Everton, the crowd was excellent and it is difficult to imagine an atmosphere better than we have seen up until now.”

Junior Firpo returns to the Leeds starting XI today after missing the Burnley game due to Covid-19. The 25-year-old is looking forward to getting back out there and making his mark on the pitch. Here’s a look at his pre-game thoughts:
