Leeds United travel to Anfield on Saturday looking to take advantage of Liverpool's inconsistencies as they hope to end their own winless run of eight matches. However, the Reds received a huge confidence boost on Wednesday night as they comprehensively defeated Ajax 3-0 at the Amsterdam ArenA to secure their qualification for the Champions League last-16.
Liverpool, though, find themselves very much off the pace in the Premier League in comparison to seasons gone by. They currently sit eight in the table and are already 12 points adrift of top spot having already dropped points against Nottingham Forest, Crystal Palace, Fulham, Brighton, Everton, Arsenal and Manchester United.
Question marks have been asked as to whether Klopp's squad is coming towards the end of its cycle and whether they can return to their previously relentless ways. Liverpool Echo's Liverpool correspondent Paul Gorst believes they are currently somewhere 'in the middle' of that scale, but are by no means 'a busted flush' ahead of Leeds' visit.
