Liverpool take their floundering hopes of a top-four finish to Elland Road to face relegation battling Leeds United as Jurgen Klopp’s side attempt to at the very least end the season on a high.

Having picked up just two points from a possible nine from three matches against Man City, Chelsea and Arsenal, the Reds are in desperate need of maximum points from all matches if they are going to stand a chance of Champions League action next term.

Of course that has to start on Monday and Klopp confirmed Luis Diaz is ‘100% ready’ and could return in his pre-match press conference.

Here’s how I think the German will select his XI…

How we should line up: Formation 4-2-3-1

Although the return of Diaz is a welcome boost, both Ibrahima Konate and Alisson have missed sessions this week and could be touch and go for the trip to Yorkshire. 

Klopp also suggested that these remaining fixtures could be an opportunity to try new things and as such, perhaps a switch to a 4-2-3-1 system could be on view. 

Lineup prediction: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Van Dijk, Robertson; Fabinho, Henderson; Jota, Salah, Gakpo; Nunez.

Score prediction: Leeds United 1-2 Liverpool
