Liverpool, currently holding a strong position in the English Premier League, aims to secure a Champions League spot. Their home form is impressive, having won eight of their last ten Premier League home games, making a win crucial to solidify their ranking. Adding further motivation, they seek revenge after a 3-3 draw against Leeds United in the previous away match. Expect Liverpool to be fully charged in attack and defence. Leeds United, battling to avoid relegation, currently sits near the bottom of the league. While their away performances have been poor, with only one win in their last four away games, their resilience was evident in their recent draw against Liverpool. They will be eager to gain points in this challenging away fixture. The tactical battle will pit Liverpool's possession-based approach against Leeds United's defensive counter-attacking style. Liverpool, likely deploying a 4-3-3 formation, will focus on controlling the tempo through possession to neutralise Leeds United's counter-attacks. Thiago's midfield role will prioritise defensive support. Attacks by Salah and Diaz are expected to be exploratory rather than consistently threatening. Leeds United's 3-5-2 formation will be defensively oriented, reducing the attacking runs of their wing-backs and concentrating on midfield interceptions and protecting their penalty area, looking for chances through counter-attacks and set pieces. This tactical setup, with Liverpool focusing on retaining possession without a relentless attack and Leeds United prioritizing defence, is anticipated to limit scoring opportunities. Scoring chances, if any, are more likely to be long-range shots or shots from unfavourable angles, thus, unlikely to convert into goals. The match is likely to have fewer than 4 goals.
