Liverpool vs Leeds Match Prediction
Liverpool are still not at their best but a six-game unbeaten run, including four victories, has them back into the top four and their campaign moving in the right direction.
The Reds have an excellent record against Leeds over the years, losing just once - a 2-1 Anfield defeat in October 2022 - in the last 25 years.
Leeds have been the surprise package of the Premier League in recent weeks with a five-game unbeaten run moving them seven points clear of the drop.
This is the first of three tough games in the space of seven days, with Manchester United and Newcastle to come in the next week, but the Yorkshire club have already shown this month they can compete with the best after beating Chelsea and drawing 3-3 with the Reds.
Score Prediction: Liverpool 3-1 Leeds
