Elland Road is the latest challenge for Liverpool as Jurgen Klopp tries to salvage a spot in European competition next season.
The Reds are 12 points off Newcastle United in the final Champions League qualification spot but can close the gap with their game in hand.
They are six points off Aston Villa in sixth place, with two fewer games played. Brighton also have two games in hand over Aston Villa and a five-point advantage over Liverpool before tonight’s game.
Leeds are perched just two points above the relegation zone but could extend the gap to five with a win against the Reds tonight.
Javia Gracia’s side slumped to a 1-5 loss at home to Crystal Palace in their last Premier League outing, despite Patrick Bamford grabbing the first goal of the game.
Liverpool are without a win in five, a run which has included a 4-1 defeat to Manchester City, 0-0 draw with Chelsea and 2-2 draw with league leaders Arsenal.
Indeed, they have failed to lead at any point in a game since their 7-0 trashing of Manchester United in early March.
Here is everything you need to know before Leeds v Liverpool tonight.

Klopp will be boosted by the return of Luis Diaz, who has not featured in a matchday squad since picking up a knee injury in October.
First-choice keeper Alisson and centre-back Ibrahima Konate have both missed two days of training this week due to fitness concerns but both are set to available for the all-important clash at Elland Road.

What have the managers said?
Liverpool’s Jurgen Klopp said: “We expect them to be on their toes, massive fight, proper atmosphere. It will be a tough one but we have to build on two games where we were good or in moments really good. We will try to do that.
“We have nothing to lose. We are in a position where we don’t want to be in the table, so we have to act like that. We have to try new things.”
Leeds’ Javi Gracia said: “It’s not a final because we have to play eight games but we have to live it like a final knowing it will be a very demanding game but we have to give our 100 percent.
“We know how difficult it will be, this game against Liverpool, because they are a very good team.
“Very dangerous. A very good team. Very well organised. They know perfectly the way they play and it’s hard to play against them.”
