An intriguing clash at Elland Road is in store on Monday, as relegation contenders Leeds take on a stuttering Liverpool side in the English Premier League. 

Leeds have seen a major improvement in form and results since Javi Gracia replaced Jesse Marsch as coach in February, and looked to be pulling themselves clear of the relegation zone. However, last weekend’s damaging 5-1 thrashing at home to Crystal Palace has pulled them back into the mire, with the weekend’s other results leaving Leeds just two points clear of 18th-place Nottingham Forest.

Liverpool have concerns of a different type, with a recent run of four games without a win endangering their hopes of European qualification. Currently resting in 8th spot in the EPL table, the Reds’ hopes of playing UEFA Champions League football next season have all but evaporated, while the solid form of rivals Brighton and Aston Villa means a spot in the Europa League or even the Europa Conference League is no longer a given. 

Last weekend’s fightback at Anfield to earn a 2-2 draw against EPL leaders Arsenal at least shows there remains some fight in Jürgen Klopp’s side, but Liverpool’s vulnerable-looking defense is likely to be targeted by their opponents this evening.

Below, we’ll outline the best live TV streaming services to use to watch the game live wherever you are in the world.

How to watch the Leeds United vs. Liverpool game online from anywhere using a VPN

If you find yourself unable to view the game locally, you may need a different way to watch the game — that’s where using a VPN can come in handy. A VPN is also the best way to stop your ISP from throttling your speeds on game day by encrypting your traffic, and it’s also a great idea if you’re traveling and find yourself connected to a Wi-Fi network, and you want to add an extra layer of privacy for your devices and logins.

With a VPN, you’re able to virtually change your location on your phone, tablet or laptop to get access to the game. Most VPNs, like our Editors’ Choice, ExpressVPN, make it really easy to do this.

Using a VPN to watch or stream sports is legal in any country where VPNs are legal, including the US, UK and Canada, as long as you have a legitimate subscription to the service you’re streaming. You should be sure your VPN is set up correctly to prevent leaks: Even where VPNs are legal, the streaming service may terminate the account of anyone it deems to be circumventing correctly applied blackout restrictions.

Quick tips for streaming the Premier League using a VPN 

  • With four variables at play — your ISP, browser, video streaming provider and VPN — your experience and success when streaming EPL matches may vary.
  • If you don’t see your desired location as a default option for ExpressVPN, try using the “search for city or country” option.
  • If you’re having trouble getting the game after you’ve turned on your VPN and set it to the correct viewing area, there are two things you can try for a quick fix. First, log into your streaming service subscription account and make sure the address registered for the account is an address in the correct viewing area. If not, you may need to change the physical address on file with your account. Second, some smart TVs — like Roku — don’t have VPN apps you can install directly on the device itself. Instead, you’ll have to install the VPN on your router or the mobile hotspot you’re using (like your phone) so that any device on its Wi-Fi network now appears in the correct viewing location.
  • All of the VPN providers we recommend have helpful instructions on their main site for quickly installing the VPN on your router. In some cases with smart TV services, after you install a cable network’s sports app, you’ll be asked to verify a numeric code or click a link sent to your email address on file for your smart TV. This is where having a VPN on your router will also help, since both devices will appear to be in the correct location. 
  • And remember, browsers can often give away a location despite using a VPN, so be sure you’re using a privacy-first browser to log into your services. We normally recommend Brave.
