Leeds United have displayed impressive resilience recently, remaining unbeaten in their last five matches. They currently sit 16th in the table with 20 points (5 wins, 5 draws, and 8 losses), six points clear of the relegation zone. While the pressure to avoid relegation has eased slightly, their desire to gain points remains strong. Their attacking core includes a red-hot Calvert-Lewin, who has scored in six consecutive games, becoming their most consistent goalscorer. In midfield, Anton Stach performs well on both sides of the ball, while Brenden Aaronson excels at creating key opportunities. Liverpool will be without key winger Mohamed Salah, who is participating in the Africa Cup of Nations, impacting their attacking creativity. They also face defensive challenges with Joe Gomez and Wataru Endo out injured, increasing the pressure on defensive rotations. Although Dominik Szoboszlai's injury has improved, his availability for the match is uncertain. Liverpool will continue their high-pressing approach, aiming to control the tempo with the midfield duo of Alexis Mac Allister and Ryan Gravenberch. They plan to attack Leeds United's defense through wing play and penetrating runs. However, the space left behind when they push forward could become an opportunity for Leeds United's counter-attacks. Match Prediction: Liverpool to win.
