Liverpool vs Leeds United prediction and odds: Jurgen Klopp's fringe players to shine at Anfield

Liverpool will be looking to add pressure to the Premier League title race after the weekend's results as they prepare to face Leeds United at Anfield this week.

The Reds are the favourites at 1/7 with Grosvenor Sport while Leeds are 17/1 and a draw is 15/2.

Jurgen Klopp's were given a bit of a fright against Norwich City before recovering to a 3-1 victory at Anfield while league leaders Manchester City lost to Tottenham Hotspur afterwards.

The results mean Liverpool are now just six points behind City with a game-in-hand, where they welcome Leeds to Merseyside.

Marcelo Bielsa's side have witnessed a torrid time and second-season syndrome is in full swing at Elland Road with the Lilywhites claiming just one win in their last five league outings and are just five points above the relegation zone.

Team stats

  • In matches involving Liverpool, both teams have scored in 11 out of 25 league matches while for Leeds it is 16 from 24 - both teams to score is 4/5
  • Liverpool have finished 18 league matches with three or more total goals while Leeds have finished this way 15 times this season - over 2.5 goals is 1/4
  • Liverpool average 10.92 total corners and 10.75 at home while Leeds average 9.42 and nine away from home - over 10.5 total corners is 4/6

Player to watch

I have a feeling Mo Salah will either be on the bench or rested ahead of the Carabao Cup, along with a few other players too so I am going to go for someone like Harvey Elliott.

The youngster had a rollercoaster ride of a start to the season with the 18-year-old firmly in Klopp's first-team plans until a horrendous injury at Elland Road meant a long spell in the treatment room.

A goal from him would be the perfect storyline for the romantics in the footballing world out there.

H2H

This will be the 119th meeting between the two sides with Liverpool picking up 60 wins, 31 draws and 27 defeats in that time.

Earlier this season, Liverpool picked up a 3-0 win at Leeds and have not lost to Bielsa's side since their promotion.
