The defender is restored to the Reds line-up at Elland Road after recovering from injury, while Milos Kerkez is also named in the back line.

Elsewhere, Hugo Ekitike and Curtis Jones come back into Arne Slot’s side for the Premier League fixture.

Subs: Mamardashvili, Gomez, Endo, Isak, Mac Allister, Salah, Chiesa, Robertson, Ngumoha.

 

[Markeh ★]

if you’d have told someone a year ago that would be the bench they’d have been very excited

 

[Frogfish]

If only that was Chiesa for Gakpo then Slot would have excelled himself. Salah on the bench again. Fingers crossed for a January sale!

 

[Stevesquash]

Except for Isak for Gakpo, i think that's our best team...

 

[rurikbird]

Yeah, other than keeping faith in Gakpo after his shitshow midweek this is the best Slot could have done. Will it matter?

 

[tombrown ★]

Win 10-0 today and we're in top 4

Win 10-0 today and we're in top 4

slot's gonna quote that one

 

[tomasjj]

Slot: We want to create more chances in the box for the 9.
Plays Gakpo again

 

[Shadey ★]

Slots trying bless him, but I’m sure it’ll be another shit show.

 

[Number21]

I'm fully expecting another embarassing loss. How can you not?

 

[Halmeister ★]

Going to be an absolutely grim watch this. Fully expecting 3-0 to Leeds. Something like that.

 

[Modo ★]

I predict that he will sub Gakpo for Salah

 

[keniget ★]

First chance to them already

 

[Modo ★]

Have a feeling that theyll score soon

 

[Shay_K ★]

Card surely ref

 

[FreshRed]

Not good, but hectic and entertaining for a neutral so far.

 

[SteveQ78]

Unlucky curtis

 

[Halmeister ★]

Looking decent. This will be our only decent spell of the game, mind.

 

[Shay_K ★]

Unlucky

 

[Mystic]

Cody Jones

 

[FreshRed]

I love when Gravy beats his man with a simple first touch into space.

 

[Halmeister ★]

I don't think Gakpo has ever not cut inside

 

[FreshRed]

it seems that Wirtz now gets the speed of this league and is also gaining confidence of his teammates, who used to ignore him most of the time.

 

[dee ★]

This is actually quite decent

 

[Woland ★]

Actually look good. It's cos tekkers and jones are playing. They only usually get a few mins when we're already fucked.

 

[dee ★]

Christ that takes me back to my childhood, advertising boards for Flamingo Land. What a place, can’t believe it still exists!

 

[FreshRed]

This is actually quite decent

It is. I am trying not to be too optimistic.

 

[FreshRed]

VVD tries to stop our momentum

 

[Barnie78]

What does VVD do?

 

[dee ★]

It is. I am trying not to be too optimistic.
