It should be two! Liverpool break at pace. Mane is in but can't get a clean strike on goal under pressure and then a last-ditch challenge denies Salah.

Two minutes added.
44'
LEEDS CHANCE! Ayling is left free to meet a deep cross at the far but knees a poor effort over the bar. It’s a rare Leeds attack but he should have at least got it on target.
42'
STAT: None of the so-called ‘big-six’ were able to win at Elland Road in the league last season – five of them drew with Tottenham suffering a 3-1 loss.
41'
Trent Alexander Arnold steps up fires the free kick straight into the wall. Nothing to see here.
40'
Cooper catches Jota with an arms in the face. It's a free kick to Liverpool 25 yards out in a central position. Liverpool felt there was a hand ball by Elliott in the build up to conceding the set piece.
39'
Elliott picks up a loose ball 25 yards out but pulls a weak strike wide of Meslier's right-hand post.
38'
Liverpool continue to dictate and probe for a second goal. We've seen very little of Leeds in the attacking third.

Llorente goes down for Leeds. The physios come on to ascertain the issue. He shakes his head and will need to be replaced.

VIDEO: Mane's miss.
32'
Bamford makes an excellent run from deep to reach a long ball. He tries to play a one-two with Rodrigo but he can't quite take the latter's return ball in his stride and Alisson is able to mop up.
Meanwhile, Llorente goes in the book.
