Jess Hornby/Getty Images Liverpool legend Phil Thompson believes that Arne Slot’s side need to be careful when they face Leeds United on Saturday as he knows from his own experience that Elland Road ‘can rock’. Liverpool head to Elland Road next, after managing only a draw against Sunderland in their midweek fixture at Anfield, to take on Leeds United.

The ex-defender knows all about trips to Leeds – having admitted that Elland Road is his favourite away ground – and hailed the effect Elland Road can have on visiting teams, comparing it to the effect local rivals Everton’s old ground Goodison Park had. Thompson said on LFC TV (47:00): “It can rock, Elland Road.

“They will watch that game, what happened tonight, that will give them confidence.” Thompson battled Leeds at Elland Road numerous times as a player for Liverpool in the seventies and eighties, when both sides were top teams of the land. Elland Road can be a formidable cauldron for visiting teams on best of days, but based on Liverpool’s and the Whites’ current form, the Leeds’ faithful could help win half the battle even before the two sides set foot on the pitch on Saturday.
