The title race has been thrown open and Liverpool will be looking to close the gap on leaders Manchester City to three points. The Reds host struggling Leeds United at Anfield and will be confident of coming out on top.
Liverpool were given a scare by Norwich City before coming from behind to claim a 3-1 victory. Sadio Mane struck the equaliser while further goals from Mohamed Salah and Luis Diaz ensured they claimed the win.
That result means Liverpool are now unbeaten in their last 10 matches across all competitions, claiming nine wins in that run. The Reds now have a chance to move to within three points of champions Manchester City with a win on Wednesday.
Home form has been pivotal to Liverpool’s campaign and they have won their last seven Premier League matches at Anfield. A slight blemish in an otherwise impressive home record is that they often give away chances to the opposition as seen by the goal conceded against Norwich City.
Leeds United are desperate for a turn around in fortunes as they continue to be drawn to the relegation zone. There is still a six-point gap above the bottom three but just one point from their last four matches means they now have to be weary of the teams below them.
Marcelo Bielsa’s men travel to Anfield off the back of a 4-2 home defeat to Manchester United. They had fought back from two goals down to level matters through Rodrigo and Raphinha but were once again let down by some poor defending.
Leeds United often struggle on their travels and have claimed just one win from their last seven Premier League away matches. There is a 7-0 defeat to Manchester City in that run while they also lost 3-0 at Everton in their previous fixture on the road.
