Author of a great season, Liverpool warded off bad luck last year by winning the title of champion of England, the 1st since 1990. Long unbeaten, the Mersey club quickly widened the gap with its pursuers and therefore experienced a quiet end of the season, marked a logical relaxation. Announced as the big favorites to their own succession in the Champions League, the Reds disappointed by being surprised by Atletico Madrid from the round of 16. Before the international break, Liverpool lost the Community Shield against Arsenal (1-1, defeat on penalties).
For Marcelo Bielsa’s second season on the bench, Leeds flew over the Championship to take 1st place in the standings with 10 points ahead of their closest pursuer. The team is making its comeback in the elite after 17 years spent in the lower divisions (Championship and League One). Very consistent after the restart, Leeds have conceded only one setback in the last 9 days, for 7 wins and 1 draw. This return to the Premier League inevitably gives a lot of hope to the fans who completely adhere to the spectacular game advocated by the fantastic Argentine technician.
The workforce for Liverpool vs Leeds
During the offseason, Liverpool did not lose a major player but saw the departure of 2 experienced elements who did not play much anymore: defender Dejan Lovren (31 years old, Zenit) and attacking midfielder Adam Lallana (32 years old, Brighton). In the direction of the arrivals, only the Greek side Konstantinos Tsimikas (24 years old, Olympiakos) came to assist from time to time the indisputable Andrew Robertson. The Reds therefore leave with the same framework as last year. Goalkeeper Alisson, defenders van Dijk, Robertson and Alexander-Arnold, midfielders Henderson, Fabinho and Wijnaldum and forwards Salah, Mané and Firmino are potential starters. Note that the Dutch midfielder Wijnaldul is coveted by Barça and could pack his bags before the end of the transfer window.
For their comeback in the Premier League, Leeds have already made some efforts to bring themselves up to the elite level. The biggest of them is obviously the recruitment of the Spanish international striker Rodrigo (Valencia) who comes out of a sluggish season (4 goals and 7 assists in La Liga). We can also point out the arrival of German defender Robin Koch (24, Friborg) who should quickly win behind. Last year, Patrick Bamford (16 goals in the Championship) had a good season as did the veteran Spanish Pablo Hernandez (9 goals and 9 assists). Midfielders Kalvin Phillips and Mateusz Klich have or build good automatisms. Much used by Bielsa, the important winger Jack Harrison is once again on loan from Manchester City.
