Newly promoted Leeds United will travel to the home of Premier League champions Liverpool for his first comeback match in the top flight of English football.
Leeds captain Liam Cooper traveled to Anfield with Hull City in 2009 and was one to forget. He was on the wrong side of a 6-1 win with Fernando Torres scoring a hat-trick while Ryan Babel pocketed a double and Steven Gerrard rounded the score.
Neither of those players are on the Reds anymore, but Jurgen Klopp’s team is arguably more formidable and any promoted team would be tired of being the visitors to the current champions in their first game of a new season.
But Cooper has shared that his reaction to Liverpool being first on the list of games was positive, as he sent a message to his teammates.

The defender, who is currently on international service with Scotland alongside Liverpool’s Andy Robertson, has also stated that he would be happy if Leeds finished 17th next season, although they are obviously aiming higher as their visit to Anfield will give them their first. opportunity to show belong to the Premier League.
