ANFIELD, LIVERPOOL — Liverpool are looking to put a shock Premier League defeat to Nottingham Forest quickly behind them when they host struggling Leeds United.
The Reds’ topsy-turvy start to the new season continued as they were beaten 1-0 by Steve Cooper’s men last Saturday.
Jurgen Klopp’s team eased the pain with a 3-0 midweek win at Ajax that sealed a place in the last-16 of the Champions League.
They could barely have hand-picked a better fixture on their return to domestic action than one against a Leeds side who have not won since August and have lost six of their past eight outings.
