Liverpool vs Leeds United
Time: 5.30 PM BST, 10 PM IST
Date: 12th September 2020 (Saturday)
Venue: Anfield, Liverpool

Liverpool will begin their Premier League title defence with a tricky home game against Leeds United on Saturday. The Reds will hope to defend their league title which came after a 30-year-long wait.

The Yorkshire giants, on the other hand, will feature in the Premier League after 16 years. With such historical numbers on display, the game is an eagerly awaited one.

Liverpool have been relatively quiet in the transfer market, bringing in only Kostas Tsimikas as a back-up to Andy Robertson. However, the arrival of Thiago from Bayern Munich is highly anticipated.

The Reds’ opponents, Leeds United were in phenomenal form in the Championship last season and will be looking forward to continuing the same in the Premier League.

Marcelo Bielsa’s side have been busier in the transfer market, snapping up Spanish forward Rodrigo Moreno from Valencia on a club-record fee. German defender Robin Koch is another impressive addition to their roster.

The Reds ended their 2019/20 campaign with a 3-1 win at Newcastle and have had a mixed-bag of a pre-season campaign. They started with a 3-0 win over Stuttgart at Anfield and drew 2-2 at Salzburg. Liverpool then lost the Community Shield to Arsenal on penalties before blowing away Blackpool 7-2 in their final pre-season game at home.

On the other hand, Marcelo Bielsa’s side have played just a single pre-season game and lost 0-3 to Stoke City. The Peacocks have been focusing on training sessions and practice matches within the club. They finished the 2019/20 season on a high in the Championship with wins over Swansea, Barnsley, Derby and Charlton.
