Leeds United vs Liverpool Preview

Leeds United host Liverpool at Elland Road on Saturday evening in an English Premier League clash that sees both sides attempting to rebuild momentum after difficult runs. Leeds secured a vital victory in their most recent outing, defeating Chelsea 3-1 at home on December 3rd. Prior to that breakthrough, they endured a challenging spell with losses to Manchester City (2-3 away on November 29th), Aston Villa (1-2 at home on November 23rd), Nottingham Forest (3-1 away on November 9th), and Brighton (3-0 away on November 1st). Despite the recent upturn, Leeds have collected just three points from their last five matches, highlighting the inconsistency that has plagued their campaign.

Liverpool arrive at Elland Road in similarly mixed form, with their most recent match ending in a 1-1 draw at home to Sunderland on December 3rd. Prior to that, they claimed an important 2-0 away victory at West Ham United on November 30th. Earlier in this sequence, they suffered defeats to PSV Eindhoven (1-4 at home in the Champions League on November 26th), Nottingham Forest (0-3 at home on November 22nd), and Manchester City (3-0 away on November 9th). The Reds have managed just four points from their last five fixtures, with defensive vulnerabilities becoming a growing concern.

The head-to-head record heavily favours Liverpool, who have won three of the last five meetings, with one Leeds victory and one draw. Liverpool secured a dominant 6-0 home win in February 2022, also claiming victories of 6-1 away in April 2023 and 3-0 away in September 2021. Leeds’ lone success came with a 2-1 away win in October 2022.

Leeds will be without Sean Longstaff and Daniel James, both ruled out through injury. Liverpool face a more challenging injury situation with Stefan Bajcetic, Giovanni Leoni, and Jeremie Frimpong all confirmed absentees, while Conor Bradley remains doubtful. The visitors’ defensive concerns are particularly acute with multiple key players unavailable.

The match kicks off at 17:30 GMT and will be broadcast live in the United Kingdom on Sky Sports Main Event, Sky Sports Premier League, and Sky Go UK, with viewing also available via NOW and SKY GO Extra. American audiences can watch on Peacock, NBC, UNIVERSO, and Telemundo Deportes En Vivo. Spanish viewers have access through DAZN Spain and Movistar+, while Canadian fans can tune in via DAZN Canada and fuboTV Canada.

Injured Players:

Leeds United: Sean Longstaff (Out), Daniel James (Out)

Liverpool: Stefan Bajcetic (Out), Giovanni Leoni (Out), Jeremie Frimpong (Out), Conor Bradley (Doubtful)

Liverpool face significantly more injury problems with three players ruled out and one doubtful, weakening their defensive and midfield options. Leeds’ injury situation is more manageable with just two confirmed absentees, giving them a potential advantage in squad depth.

Possible Line-Ups:

Leeds United (3-5-2) Gudmundsson, Struijk, Tanaka, Rodon, Ampadu, Perri, Bijol, Okafor, Aaronson, Stach, Harrison

Liverpool (4-2-3-1) Gomez, Salah, Allister, Konaté, Mamardashvili, Isak, Wirtz, Gravenberch, Dijik, Gakpo, Robertson
