Liverpool FC v Leeds United - Sat 12 Sept - 1730KO

[Gethin]

Surprised no-ones started this yet.

Hendo very doubtful, Kostas (Covid), Ox (Knee), Shaqiri (?) all out so my team guess would be

Alisson

TAA VVD Gomez Robbo

Fab Gini/Milner Keita

The Front 3

I think Gini will start. 

Should be a good game. I'd imagine they're raring to go. 

[muleskinner]

Slap these no marks down

I think whether he does or not is a good indication of where his transfer is (or isn't)

Yeah. He's the sort that will want to play though. Unless it's proper imminent, I'd expect him to start. 

Just tried to find out how Leeds have done in pre-season. Looks like they only had one game? vs a Portuguese side I've never heard of. 

Last season, although they won on opening day (3-1 vs Bristol City away) they had a bit of a hotch-potch of results early on.

Can we give them their proper name please? Dirty Leeds.

[Alonso]

Milner guaranteed to start this against his old club. Will be the midfield of the community shield gini fab Milner

Why is he?

Think it will be Fabinho, Wijnaldum, Keita

Klopp doesn't pick his side on sentiment

I almost went with "The Champions v Dirty Leeds"

[Swipe]

Think Gini starts. If he doesn't thought something is very much a-brewing. Would defo play Keita.

Would love to give these a shoeing. Get the front three off the mark straight away.

Haha, yeah it's only fair given that Milner did play in Leeds' last Premier League match.

[McBain]

I've so much faith in Naby he's in my fpl 

May even have him first scorer*

*hitting the double whammy of who cares here by discussing betting plus fpl

think with Chelsea (A) 8 days later no risks are taken with Hendo

 

Your lineup with Gini

 

Bench - Adrian, Matip, The Greek, Milner, Jones, Divvy, Mini (assuming there are no injury concerns there)

Agree about Hendo

There's only a question mark over Gini starting if there's something happening with his transfer

"The Greek" has Covid.

 

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

oh yeah he does - so maybe Williams or maybe Elliott? Or even Brewster.

Re gini yeah - if he's likely leaving no point in playing him. While we need to treat every opponent with respect, we're the Champions & they'll all want us, we are at home vs a promoted side, but no crowd I think we'll win 2-1

I think it'll be tight & the defence needs to step up if pre-season is anything to go by

Some mad stat knocking around that someone he played against in one of Leeds' last 31 PL games is 57 now

Last time Leeds played in the PL- 8th May 2004 - this was their lineup:

Robinson, Richardson (Radebe 82), Duberry, Kilgallon, Harte, Kelly (Wilcox 73), McPhail, Matteo, Pennant, Smith, Milner.
Subs Not Used: Carson, Barmby, Winter.

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

mad how long they've been gone

They would have been 40/41 at the time, not many hang around in the PL at that age.
