Leeds United confirmed XI v Liverpool: No Patrick Bamford
Javi Gracia has named his Leeds United XI to take on Liverpool in the Premier League at Elland Road on Monday, 17 April.
Patrick Bamford appears to be injured once again as he is not even part of the matchday squad.
Luke Ayling drops to the bench after recent poor performances for the Whites.
Tough one
Liverpool may not be favourites to finish fourth but as long as they’ve got a chance, they’re going to fight for that spot.
Given the fact that Newcastle, Spurs and even Brighton do not win every game, a good run until the end of May can see Jurgen Klopp’s side finishing in the Champions League places.
This means that they’re going to treat this clash as a must win and Leeds are going to be up against it from minute one.
It remains to be seen what side shows up and if Gracia has managed to evoke a response after the disastrous display against Crystal Palace.
They cannot treat this game as a foregone conclusion as there are points to play for him each time they step onto the field.
The Reds have had a number of bad days against teams in the bottom half and there are no guarantees that they will not struggle at Elland Road as well.
