Leeds United's fixture against Liverpool on Monday night was highly anticipated, but not because of the football - more because of the shocking plans for the Premier League's 'Big Six' to join the European Super League.

The news sparked protests outside Elland Road before kick-off, with both sets of fans joining in to show their disgust at the potential breakaway league.
