Liverpool's push to claw their way back into the Champions League race rolls on this Saturday as they head to Elland Road for their 15th Premier League outing of the campaign.
A frustrating 1-1 stalemate with Sunderland in midweek stalled their momentum, leaving the Reds sitting eighth in the table on 22 points, far from where they hoped to be at this stage.
Leeds, meanwhile, come into the clash with a spring in their step after a superb 3-1 victory over Chelsea on Wednesday. That win nudged them up to 17th, three points clear of the drop zone and fighting to keep their heads above water.

Leeds vs. Liverpool preview: Who will win?
On paper, Liverpool should have more than enough to see off Leeds, especially after splashing close to £450 million over the summer. A routine win is what you'd normally expect.
But Arne Slot's side were lucky to escape with anything from Wednesday's draw against Sunderland, and the wider picture doesn't lie: nine defeats in their last 14 outings and only four victories in that stretch paints a worrying picture.
Leeds, meanwhile, fully earned their 3-1 triumph over Chelsea, and they pushed Manchester City hard at the Etihad just days earlier. Daniel Farke's side will feel they're capable of landing another big result, particularly with Liverpool stumbling through a rough patch.
They won't go into the match as favourites, but Leeds have every reason to believe they can take something, and perhaps even all three points, off a vulnerable Liverpool side this weekend.
Head-to-Head Record: Leeds vs. Liverpool
- History leans Liverpool's way, the Reds have taken five of the last seven meetings, but Leeds have shown they can rip up the script.
- Their memorable 2-1 triumph at Anfield in 2022 proves they're more than capable of springing another surprise.

Leeds vs. Liverpool Score Prediction
Leeds will be itching to ride the momentum of their impressive 3-1 win over Chelsea, especially with Elland Road backing them again as they welcome a Liverpool side that's blown hot and cold all season.
That said, Arne Slot's men have quietly steadied themselves, piecing together a mini-run with a solid victory at West Ham followed by a gritty draw against an in-form Sunderland outfit.
The absolute last place Slot would choose when the heat is cranked up is a fired-up Elland Road, and with five of the previous six clashes between these two serving up at least three goals, this one promises more drama.
Still, the way things are shaping up, it wouldn't be a shock to see another entertaining stalemate.
