Is Leeds vs Liverpool on TV tonight? Kick-off time, channel and how to watch Premier League fixture

Liverpool are aiming for a fourth straight win

Leeds United host Liverpool at Elland Road this evening in a clash of two sides who are on three-game winning streaks in the Premier League.

Marcelo Bielsa’s men secured one of the shocks of the season as they beat Manchester City with 10 men last Saturday, while Liverpool have revived their top-four hopes in recent weeks and defeated Aston Villa at Anfield last weekend.

The Reds were knocked out of the Champions League by Real Madrid on Wednesday, but can go fourth in the race to return to that competition with three points at Elland Road.

Jurgen Klopp’s men are looking to capitalise on favourable results from the weekend after West Ham were beaten by Newcastle, and Everton and Tottenham both dropped points in playing out a 2-2 draw at Goodison.
