Head-to-head
Leeds have won just one of their last 11 home games against Liverpool in all competitions.
Leeds have conceded 52 goals in their 25 Premier League games against the Reds, more than they have versus any other side.
Liverpool are one short of becoming the first club to record 50 top-flight victories against Leeds.
Leeds have kept only one clean sheet in their last 21 competitive matches versus Liverpool.
Leeds United
Following their 2-1 win at Manchester City last week, Leeds could become just the second side in Premier League history to beat the league leaders and the reigning champions in consecutive matches, after Everton beat Chelsea and Manchester United in February 2010.
Leeds are aiming to win four top-flight games in a row within the same season for the first time since April 2001.
No side has scored more Premier League goals from outside the box than the 12 Leeds have this season.
Liverpool
Liverpool have won three consecutive league games for just the second time this season.
The Reds have won five of their last six away league games, which is more than they had in their previous 15 on the road.
Mohamed Salah could become the first Liverpool player to reach 20 goals in three separate Premier League campaigns.
This is the first time Liverpool have lost as many as 10 competitive fixtures in a single calendar year before the end of April since 1954.
Only two of their 16 Premier League goals in 2021 were scored in the first half, and both of those came in stoppage time after 45 minutes.
This is going to be a Goooooooooood one Hopefully the Lads can continue to do themselves proud
Lawro predicting 1-2 personally I think he's got it wrong 3-1 Leeds with Harrison Ayling and Bamford not necessarily in that order

I really thought it wasn’t our night when Liverpool scored. We didn’t seem to get going at all in the first half. Bamford seemed like he was a bit lethargic to me, but second half the whole team seemed to start performing as we know they can. Well done to Llorente and I think it was Harrison for the assist.
We really need to get a result against MU next game to make a statement that we have definitely arrived.

Just knew we'd get at least a point when pundits said on 83 minutes, Liverpool are the third team this season to do the double over Leeds along with West Ham and Wolves.
Belated Cheers High Lads and lasses!

Bamford looks knackered to me. Maybe he’s suffering a bit from the knock he got the other week. Maybe it’s just tiredness. He still works his socks off for 95 mins though.
Great second half. We were definitely the stronger, fitter team in that 45 and Liverpool were visibly tiring.
