Leeds vs Liverpool prediction: ENGLAND: Premier League betting tips on match 2025-12-05 17:30.
[p]Elland Road will be hoping for its second high-profile win this week as Leeds United host a Liverpool side whose respite after beating West Ham was short-lived.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Leeds headed into their midweek Premier League fixture with top-four hopefuls Chelsea in poor shape, having won just one of their previous eight games (D1, L6), but the Whites produced a scintillating display to win 3-1 – a potentially crucial result in their fight against relegation. Home advantage here offers them a chance to put some daylight between themselves and the bottom three, especially given that they have only lost two of their last 14 matches on their own turf (W8, D4), a statistic that manager Daniel Farke may be keen to use as inspiration as he searches for a first-ever career win over Liverpool (L4).

[p]Liverpool were unable to back up their 2-0 victory over West Ham last week, as another dull performance by Arne Slot’s side meant they had to come from behind to rescue a 1-1 draw at home to Sunderland. That was the Reds’ first stalemate this season, and considering that they have now won just two of their last nine league matches (D1, L6), coupled with drawing none of their last 16 games away from Anfield in all competitions (W7, L9), there is a reasonable chance that more bad news is on the horizon for Merseysiders.[/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]Leeds have won just one of their last 14 meetings with Liverpool (D3, L10), while their last H2H home victory came back in November 2000 (D2, L6).[/p]
[p]Hot Stats and Streaks[/p]
[p]Leeds’ last six matches have each produced over 2.5 goals.[/p]
[p]Seven of Leeds’ ten home goals this season have been scored before half-time.[/p]
[p]Liverpool are unbeaten in their last 13 league games against promoted clubs (W12, D1).[/p]
[p]Liverpool have conceded first in six of their last seven away matches.[/p]
[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]
[p]Ex-Evertonian Dominic Calvert-Lewin has scored in back-to-back games for Leeds, while his two career goals against Liverpool have both come at home. Mohamed Salah was benched for successive Premier League matches for the first time in his Liverpool career, but will be making his case for a starting berth here having registered ten goal involvements in six previous meetings with Leeds (G9, A1).[/p]
[p]Neither side appear to have any fresh absentees.[/p]
