Liverpool midfielder Fabinho expects a red-hot atmosphere for their visit to Leeds United this weekend.

Fabinho acknowledged the difficulty of the task awaiting the Reds on Sunday, but insists they will journey to Yorkshire with maximum points very much the target.

“Leeds are a really intense team, a really good team. We played there last year without supporters and without fans in it was really tough. It was a tough game, it was 1-1," he told the club's website.

“We know their qualities and I think with the fans it will be something more for them. But, as I said, almost all the games are hard and tough in the Premier League. We want to go there and win the game."

Fabinho added: “This atmosphere sometimes helps us as well, even if it's an away game. When the crowd is really participating in the game, this is good for the spectacle, so we like these types of games.

“It's not easy to play against a team like Leeds but we have to be ready for everything."
