Farke seems to be leaning toward a 3-5-2, with Bogle and Gudmundsson on the outside supporting the midline consisting of Stach, Ampadu and Tanaka. Up front, room for Aaronson and former Milan man Okafor to lead the attack. The only absences are those of the injured Longstaff and James.

Slot relaunches Ekitike from 1′ in attack, with Salah, Szoboszlai and Gakpo, favored over Wirtz, in support in the three-quarter. In midfield confirmation for Gravenberch and Mac Allister, in defense Konate with Van Dijk.

Probable lineups

Leeds (3-5-2): Perri; Bijol, Rodon, Struijk; Bogle, Tanaka, Ampadu, Stach, Gudmundsson; Aaronson, Okafor. Coach: Farke.

Liverpool (4-2-3-1): Mamardashvili; Gomez, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Gravenberch, Mac Allister; Salah, Szoboszlai, Gakpo; Ekitike. Coach: Slot.
