Jürgen Klopp previews Liverpool's Premier League clash with Leeds United in April 2021.

Leeds United face Liverpool in a huge clash in the Premier League this weekend. The last time the two sides met was the first game of the season, which was an exhilirating 4-3 thriller going in favour of Klopp's men. See what the German had to say before this weekend's match! 

Leeds United come into the game in great league form, following their shock victory over Man City with just ten men. Just three minutes after Stuart Dallas opened the scoring on 42 minutes, Liam Cooper was given his marching orders for a terrible challenge on Gabriel Jesus. Ferran Torres eventually equalised on 76 minutes, however that wasn't enough on the day for City. Dallas broke through to score his second on 91 minutes, stealing all three points for Bielsa's men.

Liverpool, meanwhile, appear to have recovered their form in the league after a significant drop saw them sink to eight momentarily. Despite exiting the Champions League to Real Madrid in mid-week, Klopp's side have won their last three Premier League games. The most recent of which was a 2-1 victory against Aston Villa, with Alexander-Arnold's last-minute strike proving the difference.

Without a doubt, three points would be vital for Klopp and for Liverpool. They will be looking to catch up with West Ham, currently sit in fourth, who dropped points against Newcastle this Saturday.
