Marcelo Biela’s side enjoyed a promising start on their return to the top flight, however, back-to-back defeats prior to the international break served a reminder of the challenges to come. Ten points from eight games is hardly disastrous, though, and in Patrick Bamford Leeds boast one of England’s most prolific strikers on current form.

For all Mikel Arteta’s sweeping changes at Arsenal, they are still a side afflicted by wild swings of inconsistency. Their fabulous victory over Manchester United sent spirits sky-rocketing but a horrendous thrashing by Aston Villa proved why Arsenal remain very much a work in progress. They begin the game in 14th place and need a strong series of results to bolster their top four credentials. Follow all the action below live:
Liverpool 0 - 0 Leicester
3 mins: Jota makes a run into the box from the right. He passes to Mane who slots it back to Keita. Keita shoots from range and gets a deflection putting the ball out for a corner. Milner whips in the set piece and Mane heads the ball into the side netting. Strong start from the home side.
Liverpool 0 - 0 Leicester
Kick off: The Foxes get the match started with a long ball down the left aimed at Harvey Barnes. James Milner gets to the ball first and heads it back down the pitch.
Anfield may be a fortress for Liverpool but I think this will be a tough game for them. They may have to grind out a result. Mane, Jota and Firmino need to be patient and clinically take their chances.
10 minutes to go until kick off at Anfield. Liverpool will join Tottenham on 20 points if they win whilst Leicester will move to the top of the table with three points.
It’s an interesting starting line up from Jurgen Klopp as he is without Mo Salah, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Virgil van Dijk but will it be enough to overcome a Leicester side who are unbeaten away from home this season?

Reaction from Leeds boss Marcelo Bielsa who told Sky Sports:
"The result could have been in our favour, the performance was satisfactory, 11 v 11 we played well, with a man advantage we were more dangerous, it was a steady and valuable performance throughout.
"We missed a lot of chances, we arrived in different ways and I think there were three shots that hit the post. The accuracy wasn't the necessary one.
"It is not more difficult, it is easier (to play against 10 men)."
