Leeds coach admits Liverpool are the best team in the Premier League

Leeds United are looking to emulate Nottingham Forest who recently upset Liverpool when they narrowly beat Jürgen Klopp's side at the City Ground. For the Peacocks' American coach Jesse Marsch, the Reds have great players and a win for his club will only happen if they follow the plan they have had in place since the start of the week to perfection.

Things are not going well for Leeds United, who have not won in the Premier League since Matchday 3, when they beat Chelsea FC at Elland Road, and have a terrible record of six defeats and two draws in a row, the worst run in the league. They are also among the worst defenders with 17 goals conceded.

Ahead of the game, the American coach told the Independent that they are hoping to spring a surprise at a difficult Anfield. "It's not that we see a weakness in them, we will have a game plan and we will try to stick to it and we will try to execute it to the best of our ability to give ourselves the best chance in the match," said the former RB Leipzig Bundesliga coach.

In addition, Marsch praised the superstar base coached by his namesake Jürgen Klopp, who also praised him for his talent and ability. "Liverpool have been one of the best in the world over the last four or five years. I think that, no matter what, [they have] a group of professional players who understand what the demands are," added the manager who took the reins after the departure of Argentine Marcelo Bielsa from coaching.

Jesse Marsch, who has a contract with Leeds United until the summer of 2025, knows very well that football is about results and that if the team does not pick up, his job is in jeopardy, which is why against eighth-placed The Pool, he could get a little more time in his project. This is his fourth professional club, having previously played for RB Leipzig, RB Salzburg and Montreal CF.
