Back to the 1970s as Liverpool host Leeds to kick off EPL defence – Sydney Morning Herald
It is a match almost two decades in the making for Leeds but the Premier League’s new boys can expect a baptism of fire against last season’s champions at Anfield.
That period included a memorable Charity Shield game in 1974 when Kevin Keegan and Billy Bremner were sent off after punches were thrown at Wembley.
Pressing rather than punching is likely to be the order of the day on Saturday and it will be fascinating to see Leeds, with their new Spanish striker Rodrigo, play their high-energy approach against Klopp’s similarly relentlessly attack.
