United are 10th and looking to build on a strong first campaign in the top flight with seven games remaining.

Liverpool, though, have no fresh concerns ahead of their fixture in West Yorkshire.

Long-term absentees Virgil van Dijk (knee) and Joel Matip are making progress while Joe Gomez (knee) returned to training this week but Leeds will come too soon for the defender.

“No new concerns. Usually, I always have someone, but no new ones,” Klopp told reporters during his pre-match press conference.

The German head coach later added: "They all are [on track]. Joe [Gomez] is outside running now. Obviously, a big step. All looks fine when he is running, no reaction in his knee.

“These things are important. It takes time but he’s in a good way. Like Virg, Joel and Hendo – all the long-term ones.”
