Leeds have another huge game on Sunday in the noon kick off against Liverpool. With both sides showing signs of improvement, Elland Road could well witness a classic.

Leeds welcome back Paul Robinson and Mark Viduka from the side that drew against Man Utd last week. Both will go straight into the starting line up, with Scott Carson and either Stephen Mcphail or James Milner making way. Gray may move Milner to the left, or leave Mcphail in and rest the Horsforth born youngster. Liverpool are likely to name an unchanged team from last nights UEFA cup game, where goals from Gerrard and Kewell gave them a 2 goal victory. For Leeds, it’s important the Bakke and Johnson get to grips early in the game with Hamman, and especially Gerrard, both of whom had very strong games last night. Liverpool need a win to keep up their 4th place ambitions, while Leeds need the 3 points to try and pull away from the relegation battle.
