Leeds United (A) - Sat 30th April, 17:30 (BST) | Pre-Match Thread

[Tangled up in blue.]

We are running out of games any slip up by either team would be fatal, theres not enough games left to turn it round

Last thing kdb needs is a rest he's thriving on all these big games atm last thing we want is for him to lose rhythm

Kev looks shattered at the end of every game and that is because he gives everything in every game. He seems to recover very quickly and performs better when he is playing twice a week. He will want to play in all the remaining games now. A born winner and world class player.

A like for the praises but he should not be playing all remaining games

I assume a Liverpool win against Newcastle but it's by no means the gimme it would have been 3 months ago. After tonight, against Villareal, they are getting to their business end where the games don't appear to be impossible, but, they are a bit harder than ours, and, their schedule is getting very tight. An early Saturday start after a late Wednesday finish isn't ideal. If we get the 3 points on Saturday - assuming that they get their 3 - the pressure is firmly on them, and building, as they start to run out of games.

Pep will utilise the squad but go as strong as he can on Saturday, and every other game from here onwards. Leeds were running around like headless chickens against Palace the other night. There wasn't much skill on display and, even though they've got a few points since Bielsa left, they're in 15th spot for a reason. Phillips is back and strengthens them, but, there's not much else to be concerned about - just our fatigue. 4 full days is better than the 3 days Liverpool have in which to recouperate.

Hate this ko time and this will be a tough test.

Cancelo Zinchenko Dias Ake are the obvious back 4(rest to Laporte who has played everything). If Walker is fit and we are winning comfortably, I would sub him in so he gets some game time before Madrid.

Rodri, KDB, Gundogan. I would like Rodri to rest but it is impossible, and KDB is at his peak form and he is our best option to get a quick advantage and then rest him.

Jesus, Sterling, Grealish. Jesus has not played as many matches, so he should be fit to play all the remaining ones if necessary, and he's scoring goals, so he needs to keep being a starter.

Our best 11,the Tramps seem to manage it almost every game.

We ride our best players now. Similar to watford, go strong and give ourselves a chance to rest second half.

If you rest your best players and then drop points, why have you done it?

The Scousers will be resting nobody.

It’s incredible, apart from switching Matip and Konate, the other 3 in the defence play every minute of every game without ever getting injured or suspended! It’s like they’re some sort of bionic saints…
