Jesse Marsch said in his pre-match press conference that three players were among a number of players from his squad who were doubtful to make the trip to Anfield on Saturday evening.

Tyler Adams makes his return after being absent for last weekend’s defeat against Fulham. Cooper and Rodrigo both featured as the Whites lost at Elland Road but were outlined as doubts by manager Jesse Marsch on Thursday.

Joe Gelhardt was also listed as an injury worry for Leeds but he has recovered enough to be named on the bench. Luis Sinisterra is absent.
