Liverpool XI vs Leeds: Starting lineup, confirmed team news, latest injury updates for Premier League today

Jurgen Klopp avoided a major headache after Brazil decided on Friday night not to push for their Premier League players who did not report for international duty to be banned for this weekend.

The Liverpool manager had faced being without goalkeeper Alisson and midfielder Fabinho but they can now feature against Leeds at Elland Road on Sunday.

With Virgil van Dijk shaking off a minor knock picked up with Holland, he will line up at centre-half alongside Joel Matip, with Andy Robertson and Trent Alexander-Arnold either side.

Regardless of the FIFA shenanigans, Roberto Firmino was always going to miss this game due to a hamstring injury so Diogo Jota comes back into the attack.
