Leeds United open their Premier League campaign with a trip to Anfield to face champions Liverpool on Saturday.

The Whites have suffered a big blow ahead of the match with skipper Liam Cooper missing the game due to an injury.

Cooper has taken to social networking site Twitter to express his reaction ahead of the match. He said that ‘Gutted would be an understatement’ as he dreamt of this day to lead his team in the Premier League.

Gutted would be an understatement. I dreamt about this day.. Today come too soon but I’m here to support the boys through our return to the @premierleague. Be loud and proud from home! MOT
