Leeds United vs Liverpool Match Analysis & Prediction
17/04/2023 10:00 pm
Liverpool will be looking to avoid going six matches without a win for the first time under Jurgen Klopp when they travel to Elland Road to face Leeds United on Monday night.
The Whites were beaten 5-1 by Crystal Palace in their most recent game, while the Reds came from two goals down to hold Arsenal to a 2-2 draw at Anfield.
With none of Southampton, Leicester City or Everton winning on Saturday, Leeds retain a narrow buffer over the relegation spots in 16th spot, although just two points clear of Nottingham Forest, who can leapfrog them with a surprise win over Manchester United on Sunday.
Defeat to Palace was only the Whites’ second loss in their last five Premier League matches – and just a fifth defeat of the season at home – but Leeds’ defence have shipped at least two goals in four of those games and possess the joint-second leakiest rearguard in the division, level with Nottingham Forest on 54 goals conceded and only better off than Bournemouth’s 57.
Liverpool enter Monday’s contest still entrenched in eighth place in the standings, and with Brighton & Hove Albion and Aston Villa both winning on Saturday, the Reds cannot leapfrog any of their fellow continental contenders no matter what transpires on Monday.
While there were plenty of positives to take from their second-half performance against Arsenal, Liverpool have now failed to win any of their last five matches, and they still have just three away wins to their name in the current Premier League campaign.
The Reds’ only home defeat in the league this season came against Leeds in dramatic fashion in October, but the Whites have failed to beat Liverpool at Elland Road in the Premier League since 2000-01, where Mark Viduka single-handedly crushed the Merseyside club with four goals in a 4-3 triumph.

Leeds United Team News
Stuart Dallas and Tyler Adams will not be in contention to return from thigh injuries for Leeds just yet, but Maximilian Wober has trained this week and will be given every chance to prove his fitness.
Wilfred Gnonto can surely look forward to a recal to the forward line, while Rasmus Kristensen, Liam Cooper and Rodrigo are also among the options for change for Gracia.

Liverpool Team News
Klopp revealed fresh concerns for Alisson Becker and Ibrahima Konate, but both defenders should be put through their paces over the weekend and are expected to be fine for the game.
Roberto Firmino’s crucial contribution against Arsenal is unlikely to be enough for a starting berth, but Thiago Alcantara and Darwin Nunez are expected to displace Curtis Jones and Diogo Jota respectively.
