"It's normal that the mood drifted a bit [during a run of six defeats in seven matches], but it should be like this at a club like this. Liverpool are still a top-class side and the reigning champions. There is lots of fluctuation and, over the course of 38 games, you will have times when you don't have your best performance."
"There is no replacement for wins. To win in this manner against Chelsea - it was well-deserved - is good for the mood and confidence. We are always optimistic."
"It's about finding a balance and normal that we rotate. There might be some new players in the starting line up. Ao Tanaka is a bit tricky because he's played both games. He was in the ice bath [on Thursday]."
Leeds moved out of the bottom three after a well-deserved win over Chelsea and now face reigning champions Liverpool, with three points important for survival hopes before Christmas. Leeds have won only one of the last 12 league meetings with Liverpool, and recent form has included a run of six defeats in seven matches. Strikers Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Lukas Nmecha are doubts after late struggles versus Chelsea, while Daniel James and Sean Longstaff remain unavailable. Rotation is expected, with Ao Tanaka's minutes being managed. Liverpool may rest players with Champions League commitments looming and could recall Mohamed Salah; Conor Bradley could return at right-back.
