Liverpool vs Leeds: Tips & Predictions
While Liverpool are performing well on the European stage their Premier League performance has been average at best. This weekend Leeds head to Anfield looking to cause another upset following the Reds' shock 1-0 defeat at bottom-of-the-table Nottingham Forest last time out.

Liverpool & Over 2.5 Goals
Liverpool might not be the usual Premier League force we have seen over the last few seasons but we fully expect Klopp's men to beat a Leeds side that leave themselves very open at the back. Liverpool have won five of their last six head-to-heads with Leeds in all competitions and over 2.5 goals have been scored in three of the pair's last four meetings. At least three goals have been scored in three of Liverpool's and three of Leeds' last six matches in league and cup and the visitors have lost five of their last six fixtures.
Roberto Firmino to Score
Firmino has enjoyed this season with Liverpool, scoring 6-goals in the Premier League which is twice as many as Salah has managed. We're backing the Brazilian international to score against a leaky Leeds defence this weekend, helping to guide Liverpool to a much-needed victory.

Any hope for Leeds at Anfield?
Liverpool made the trip to Nottingham Forest last weekend, a side they enjoyed a rivalry with during the 1970s. The first half ended goalless with both teams creating chances to score and early in the second half, Awoniyi was afforded two bites at the cherry and put Nottingham Forest 1-0 up from close range. Liverpool had multiple chances to equalise through van Dijk but the centre-back wasted his efforts on most occasions, though, did force Henderson into a great save late on.
Liverpool Predicted Lineup: Alisson, van Dijk, Robertson, Gomez, Milner, Fabinho, Jones, Carvalho, Elliott, Firmino & Salah
Leeds might have had the home advantage against Fulham but their defensive issues stifled the hosts once again. Rodrigo put Leeds in front after 20-minutes but Fulham equalised soon after and the teams went in level at the break. The visitors scored two goals in the second forty-five to move 3-1 clear and although Summerville pulled a goal back in stoppage-time, Leeds lost the game 3-2.
Leeds Predicted Lineup: Meslier, Cooper, Ayling, Koch, Struijk, Roca, Harrison, Aaronson, Rodrigo, Sinisterra & Greenwood
Team News
Liverpool: Luis Diaz, Joel Matip, Naby Keita, Thiago Alcantara, Jordan Henderson, Arthur Melo and Diogo Jota are all injury concerns for the hosts.
