Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp believes that Leeds United will be 'on Liverpool's toes' as he prepares his side to travel up to Elland Road for their Premier League clash on Monday night.
The Whites are the only side to have beaten Liverpool at Anfield in the league this season, thanks to a 89th-minute Crysencio Summerville winner.
That win was one of just two Javi Gracia's side have found away from home all season, and Klopp realises the danger of them doing the league double over the Reds for the first time since 2001.

"It'll be a big fight, massive fight. The situation Leeds are in, and of course their last game as well," Klopp admitted in his pre-match press conference this afternoon.
"I actually think they're pretty good at the moment, but in that game [against Crystal Palace], they got a proper knock because Roy [Hodgson] is back.
"Anyway, they're a really good team. A really good team and you can see that again in these situations, how they play their counter-attacks, how they play football in general.
"So it'll be a tough one. Maybe people thought, 'Oh, Leeds should win against Palace'. But then you see how Palace played and you ask yourself, 'well why are Palace where they are?'
"So we expect them to be absolutely on their toes, a massive fight, proper atmosphere so yeah, it'll be a tough one. But we have to build on two games where we were good, or in moments really good, and that's what we'll try."
