Liverpool Lineup vs Leeds United OUT: Why Did Arne Slot Bench Mo Salah Again?

After a disappointing draw against Sunderland, the Reds have travelled to Elland Road, where they take on Leeds United in a matchday 15 clash. The reigning champions are hoping for a change of fortunes as they sit 9th in the table with six losses so far. Leeds, on the other hand, are coming off an inspired win 3-1 against Chelsea. They need the three points from this fixture to keep them a bit safer from the relegation zone.

Liverpool's form has not been so good this season, with Arne Slot having a headache in team selections ahead of every game. Whichever team he fields, it ends up producing the same old result - a draw or a defeat. Ahead of the all-important match, let's take a look at the Liverpool Lineup vs Leeds United and other details of the two teams.
