Mohamed Salah is expected to return to Liverpool’s starting lineup for the trip to Elland Road. Conor Bradley is also close to full fitness, while Hugo Ekitike is expected to lead the attack.
Liverpool want to get back to winning ways as they face Leeds United on Saturday evening. Arne Slot has received some good news, with Bradley likely available again after a muscle injury. Giovanni Leoni (knee) and Jeremie Frimpong (hamstring) remain sidelined, with Leoni out for the rest of the season.
Slot confirmed in his press conference that Bradley and Joe Gomez should both be ready after recent knocks. He also explained that leaving out Salah and Chiesa was due to strong competition in the squad, not poor form.
Alisson will stay in goal, and Liverpool are expected to keep their 4-3-3 shape. The defence should include Gomez, Konate, Van Dijk, and Robertson, with Bradley starting on the bench.
Midfield will likely feature Szoboszlai, Mac Allister, and Gravenberch. In attack, Salah is expected to rejoin the starting XI alongside Florian Wirtz and Alexander Isak, while Gakpo, Chiesa, and Ekitike could come off the bench.
Predicted Liverpool XI:
Alisson; Gomez, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Szoboszlai, Gravenberch, Mac Allister; Salah, Ekitike, Wirtz
