- Kick-off is 5:30pm GMT on Saturday, December 6 at Elland Road, with live coverage on Sky Sports Main Event and streaming via Sky Go in the UK.
- Leeds are without Daniel James (hamstring) and Sean Longstaff (calf), while Liverpool expect Conor Bradley back as Jeremie Frimpong and Giovanni Leoni remain sidelined.
- Leeds have scored seven set-piece goals this season, facing a Liverpool side ranked second for goals conceded from set plays and joint-first for counter-attack goals allowed.
- Liverpool arrive after a 1-1 draw with Sunderland and a 2-0 win at West Ham, with form inconsistency adding pressure as they sit eighth with four wins in their last 14.
- Daniel Farke’s recent shift to a 3-5-2 has boosted Leeds, with Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Lukas Nmecha in form, while Mohamed Salah’s starting status remains in question after limited recent impact.
