Liverpool eyeing return to winning ways in Leeds trip.
Leeds United vs. Liverpool kicks off at 17:30 [GMT] on Saturday, December 6, at Elland Road.
Leeds United [LLLLW] and Liverpool meet this Saturday at Elland Road for Round 15 of the Premier League, with both clubs aiming to build momentum as the busy winter period approaches. Leeds enter the fixture in 17th place with 14 points, fresh off a significant 3–1 win over Chelsea that provided a morale boost after inconsistent results. Liverpool, meanwhile, sit in 8th with 22 points following a 1–1 draw against Sunderland in their last outing under Arne Slot. Daniel Farke’s team continue to generate attacking moments, particularly at Elland Road. Leeds have scored in each of their last five home matches and come into this clash on a run of four consecutive games with at least one goal scored in all competitions. However, their defensive record remains a key issue. Leeds have conceded in 11 straight matches and in each of their past five at home, showing vulnerability when trying to close out games. Their season has also lacked stability in terms of results, with only one draw across their past 11 fixtures, illustrating a pattern of matches frequently ending in either victory or defeat without many evenly balanced scorelines. A 3—5—2 formation with Noah Okafor and Aaronson in attack is expected against the Reds.
Liverpool [WLLWD] approach the game with contrasting traits. The team has only one draw in their last 21 fixtures, a record they added to with the recent stalemate against Sunderland. Arne Slot’s side are finding the net consistently, scoring in three consecutive games while managing to avoid defeat in their last two. The head-to-head history between the clubs strongly favours Liverpool. Across 121 meetings, the Merseyside club holds 62 wins compared to Leeds’ 28. The trend remains similar in league play, with Liverpool collecting 52 victories in 98 top-flight encounters. Elland Road has also leaned in Liverpool’s favour historically, where they have secured 24 wins from 59 visits, while the home side has managed 18 victories. On the touchline, Daniel Farke has yet to defeat Liverpool, facing them four times and losing on each occasion. As both teams enter the weekend, the fixture highlights different points of focus: Leeds’ search for defensive resilience to complement their attacking output and Liverpool’s effort to convert consistent scoring into more stable long-term results. A 4—2—3—1 formation with Isak in attack is expected against Leeds. Jeremie Frimpong and two others are on the treatment table for Liverpool.
