Leeds United: 3 potential match-ups in Liverpool tie

18 League titles. 7 FA Cups. 8 League Cups. 14 Charity Shields. Numerous European trophies including one Champions League win in 2004. That’s what Leeds United face the week beginning November 28.

But Leeds will not face ‘history’ when they take to the Anfield turf for the game; they will instead pit their wills against a star-studded Liverpool outfit. Make no bones about it this will be a Liverpool side stuffed with talent, regardless of who the Reds put out on the pitch for the game.

International players form the spine of the Liverpool side, it will likely be a combination of this experience and prodigious talent that, whatever side Leeds put out, they will face. As the saying goes, you are only as good as your last game and Liverpool’s last game in this competition was a 2-1 victory over Tottenham for a Liverpool side currently joint-top in the Premier League on 20 points – a placing they share with Manchester City and Arsenal.

Make no bones about it, whatever bravado is bandied about on Twitter and in Facebook groups, this will be a massive challenge for Garry Monk’s Leeds United, and all the ‘magic of the Cup’ is meaningless. Leeds United will be in for a hard 90 minutes at a ground that has seen more prestigious ties, but the Whites are a side that have shown that they are up for a battle.

Bearing that in mind, here are three interesting match-ups that Leeds fans lucky enough to get tickets could see come the end of November.
