Game Preview
Arne Slot will take confidence from his side’s recent form ahead of this clash, as Liverpool have won each of their last three in the Premier League. That reliable run of victories has lifted the team back into the Champions League spots. The Reds are also unbeaten in their last five in the competition.
Last time out, the Reds landed a 2-1 home success against Wolves. However, it was a nervy finish to the game, with the champions looking far from assured defensively.
Leeds bring reliable form to the table themselves this weekend after avoiding defeat in their last five. That run of form sees them come into this round sitting 16th, and they have a seven-point advantage over the relegation places.
The Whites played out a 1-1 draw against Sunderland in their latest outing, marking the third time in four that they have played out a draw. Dominic Calvert-Lewin has been a standout star for the team, scoring eight goals in 16 appearances.
Leeds have an eye-catching January record in the Premier League, having avoided defeat in their last ten. Meanwhile, Liverpool have started a new calendar year with a victory in just three of the last eleven years.
Liverpool vs. Leeds Picks
Liverpool’s upturn in form is noted, but they have still looked shaky defensively. Therefore, a draw could be an interesting betting angle on Thursday, given the recent form Leeds have shown.
