Earlier results include a 1-1 away draw at Brentford and the aforementioned 3-3 home draw with Liverpool. Their impressive form began with a 3-1 home victory over Chelsea on December 3rd, demonstrating their capability against top-six opposition.

The head-to-head record heavily favours Liverpool, who have won three of the last five encounters, with Leeds claiming one victory and one draw. Most recently, the sides shared a thrilling 3-3 draw at Elland Road on December 6th, 2025. Liverpool dominated the earlier meetings with a 6-1 away win at Leeds in April 2023 and a 6-0 home victory in February 2022. Leeds’ sole win in this period came with a 2-1 away triumph at Anfield in October 2022.

Both sides are expected to field strong lineups for this fixture.
