Premier League – Match-day 19: Liverpool v Leeds United
Liverpool at home against Leeds – Wednesday – 8:45pm GMT – Anfield.
Liverpool will take on Leeds on Wednesday, as second takes on fifteenth in the League.
Liverpool arrive at this meeting, having secured 57 points so far this season
With two wins in a row under his belt, Jurgen Klopp takes his Liverpool team into this game full of confidence, and hopeful of another successive victory.
Also, Liverpool keep finding ways to win, having secured 11 victories in their last 14 meetings is astonishing this season, a form has placed them in clear contention for Champion’s League qualification. Now they have 12 matches won, 1 games lost and 5 duels drawn; that’s why they currently sit in second place, with a total of 57 points having won 12 matches, drawn five fixtures, and lost one game.
Liverpool will welcome Leeds to Anfield, safe in the knowledge that their home record this season is outstanding. This is further strengthened by their good home results, as they have won nine games and drawn three matches in the 12fixtures they’ve played so far this season.
A win in this fixture would take Liverpool’s points to 60 in the League.
Good atacking and defensive team
It’s an easy statement to make, but to win you simply have to score more goals than your opponent. Liverpool have been consistently applying this principle, whilst remaining defensively solid as a unit this season, with 15 goals in their previous fixtures. This has been a good season so far for Liverpool, in terms of goals scored (50). This season, their stand-out attacking players have been Alisson, Fabinho, and Virgil Van Dijk.
Injury and illness have depleted Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool and they will likely be missing two key personnel for Wednesday’s match.
With the Premier League season well into its stride, Leeds United have managed to gain 23 points
Whilst Leeds need a positive result from this fixture, they cannot afford to throw caution to the wind. Another successive defeat for The Whites after losing against Manchester United and Everton would represent a worrying sign of where they are just now.
Also, league success is all about winning football matches, any way you can, so six losses in nine meetings would not make this a successful season for Leeds. With 23 points (3W, 8L and 7D), they are established in fifteenth position in the League having won three matches, drawn seven games, and lost eight fixtures.
Leeds now travel, knowing that their current away form is woeful. So far this season they have won two fixtures, drawn four matches, and lost six meetings matches on the road.
Leeds United will see 26 points so far this season, should they secure a win.
It is likely that six key players will miss Wednesday’s fixture, which is something of a concern for Marcelo Bielsa and his Leeds team.
