Follow live coverage as Leeds United face Liverpool in the Premier League today.

Javi Gracia and his side sit 16th in the table with eight matches left to play, having been beaten heavily by Crystal Palace on home soil last time out. They are just two places and two points above the relegation zone, with at least seven teams still in the mix and battling to avoid the bottom three.

As for Liverpool, Jurgen Klopp’s team showed an improvement in the second half to draw at home to Arsenal last weekend, but they are four without a win in the top flight and sit eighth place - where they will remain even with a win tonight.

We will bring you all the action and updates from today's game in the live blog below:

Leeds United vs Liverpool

There's no way through the Leeds defence at the moment for Liverpool. Gracia will have wanted to see a response to his side's heavy defeat last week and so far they've been solid as a rock.

McKennie keeps the ball alive in a tussle for possession with Fabinho and Alexander-Arnold. Sinisterra takes over and wins a corner for the hosts down the left flank.

Gakpo tries to attack a cross from Alexander-Arnold from the right flank, but cannot make clean contact with his header at goal. Jota gathers the loose ball and fires wide, although the offside flag was up anyway.

Salah tries to release Henderson down the right flank, but he gets too much on his offload and the ball travels behind for a goal-kick.

Leeds United vs Liverpool

Liverpool are trying to work the ball around the Leeds' press, which has been aggressive so far. But, the Reds are not making headway into the final third.

Leeds United vs Liverpool

A worrying start for Liverpool at the back. Only Fulham (92) have conceded more big chances than the Reds (88) in the Premier League this season.

WIDE! Jota gives the ball straight to Roca and he feeds Rodrigo in space. The forward lines up a left-footed strike from distance that he skews narrowly wide of the right post.

CHANCE! Harrison angles the resulting free-kick into the box for unmarked Rodrigo to attack, but he can only glance his header straight at Alisson. A huge opportunity spurned.
