The Whites made a good account of themselves in their season opener at Anfield, narrowly losing 4-3 to Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool in what proved to be a gripping encounter.

On Saturday the Whites make a bid for their first three points of the season against fellow promoted side Fulham, who earned their Premier League place through winning the Championship play-offs.

Alioski scored in the previous meeting, the first played at the stadium without fans owing to the coronavirus pandemic and was caught on camera wandering around at full-time and applauding the ‘crowdies’ that supporters paid to have placed on seats during their absence last season.

This time when Scott Parker brings his fellow newly promoted side to face the Whites, there won’t even be crowdies – the likenesses having been removed during the summer, which will add to Alioski’s sense of loss.

But he wants the Hull defeat to provoke a reaction, regardless of how many midweek starters feature against Fulham – Bielsa will revert to a team much closer resembling the one that lost 4-3 at Liverpool in the Premier League opener which means the responsibility to put right what happened in the cup will simply transfer to those players.

“We have to keep working hard,” said Alioski.

“We will be focused now for the Premier League. We have another game on Saturday which it’s important.

“We’re at home but we’re going to feel it a little this [Hull City] game.

“It’s football. We know anything can happen but it hurts us a lot. We need to show a reaction even though at the weekend it will be a different squad with more experienced players.

“We are a team. We are Leeds United.

“We need to show a reaction and we’re going to prepare with Marcelo for this game [against Fulham].

“It’s the first game in the Premier League at home at Elland Road.

“Without the fans we’ll feel sad but we are so focused and excited for Saturday.”

Come Saturday afternoon Alioski will be all smiles, flicking ears again. Then he and Leeds will be all business once more.
