Match Preview | |
Liverpool will visit Elland Road, Leeds headquarters in the match week 4 of the Premier League 2021/22, Sunday (12/09/2021) at 9:00 p.m. Indian time.
Liverpool has been quite impressive in the English Premier League this season. Currently, the Reds occupy the fifth position in the standings with a collection of 7 points from 3 matches that have been undertaken. They won 3-0 over Norwich City, won 2-0 over Burnley, and drew 1-1 against Chelsea.
Ahead of this match itself, Jurgen Klopp as Liverpool coach was messing around with the condition of his players from Brazil, namely Alisson Becker, Roberto Firmino, and Fabinho. The reason, at the international break last week Liverpool refused to release the three to strengthen the Brazilian national team. This is because Brazil is the UK government's red zone regarding COVID-19.
As a result of this, the Brazilian Football Federation (CBF) did not accept the club's policy and imposed sanctions on the player concerned with a five-day ban from playing Brazil's last match in the international break, Friday (10/9/2021).
Losing 3 players is clearly a loss for Liverpool. The reason, as is known all three are very important players for the Liverpool squad.
On the other hand, Leeds this season has actually appeared less convincing. Leeds currently occupies the fifteenth position in the standings with a score of 2 points.
Of the 3 matches that have been played, Leeds has yet to win, namely losing 1-5 to Manchester United in the first match, and consecutively drawing 2-2 against Everton in the second match and 1-1 against Burnley in the third match.
At the last meeting in the Premier League last season, Liverpool and Leeds were only able to draw 1-1 at Elland Road. Liverpool opened the scoring first through Sadio Mane's goal in the 31st minute. However, the victory in front of their eyes vanished after Leeds equalized in the 87th minute through Diego Llorente's goal.
If you look at the record of the meeting between the two teams, Liverpool will of course be more favored over Leeds in this match.
However, Liverpool still has to be vigilant considering Leeds is quite strong when playing at home. Moreover, Liverpool's strength will also be reduced in this match because it is not reinforced by some of its core players.
