Liverpool vs Leeds: Garry Monk's sleeping giants are waking from their slumber

For the last 14 years, Leeds United have been a club locked in crisis after crisis. On Tuesday night, they have one of their best opportunities to prove they may have finally emerged into the light.

Garry Monk's appointment as manager in the summer has turned one of English football's laughing stocks into a bonafide threat. When they line up against Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool they do so as one of the Championship's genuine promotion contenders. They are fifth in the second tier. There are dreams in Leeds that trips to Anfield can become a regular reality again instead of a one-off.
