Liverpool have won ten of their last 13 meetings with Leeds United, prevailing 6-1 at Elland Road when the pair last clashed in April 2023.
The Whites have failed to win any of their last eight home games against the Reds, dating back to November 2000 when Mark Viduka scored all four in a famous 4-3 victory.
Leeds vs Liverpool preview
After a memorable and vital victory in mid-week, can the Leeds United faithful roar their side onto another win? On Wednesday night, just as the pressure was starting to be cranked up on Daniel Farke, his team beat Chelsea 3-1 at Elland Road and deservedly so. Jaka Bijol broke the deadlock early with a towering header, before Ao Tanaka doubled their lead with a thunderous strike on the cusp of half time. Chelsea did half the deficit shortly after the interval, but Dominic Calvert-Lewin made the points secure, tapping in from mere picometres out following a defensive mix up.
Before this, the Whites had lost four on the spin, as well as six of their last seven, but the victory saw Leeds climb out of the relegation zone. Last weekend, Farke's side were very unfortunate to leave the Etihad empty handed, fighting back from 2-0 down to draw level, only for Manchester City to pinch the points in injury time. So, this is the final part of Leeds' supposedly nightmare week, facing three of last season's top four in just eight days, but can they claim another memorable scalp?
Liverpool meanwhile make the 68 mile journey east to West Yorkshire across the Pennines still unsure of just how good they are. Last Sunday, Arne Slot's side won a Premier League away game for the first time since 14 September, beating West Ham 2-0, thanks to second half goals from Alexander Isak and Cody Gakpo. However, reports of the Reds' resurgence may have been overstated.
That's because, on Wednesday, the champions were held to a 1-1 draw by Sunderland at Anfield, probably very lucky to do so. After falling behind mid-way through the second half, Florian Wirtz's deflected shot nine minutes from time saw the Reds equalise, but they required an astonishing goal-line clearance from Federico Chiesa right at the death to preserve the draw. As a result, Liverpool have collected only seven points from the last 27 available, so are ninth. After this, their next three opponents are Inter Milan, Brighton and then Tottenham, a tough sequence leading in to Christmas, so can Liverpool claim a much-needed victory at a raucous Elland Road on Saturday night?

Anton Stach returned on Wednesday following a ten-day concussion absence. Sean Longstaff and Dan James are sidelined, while the change in shape is bad news for wingers Brenden Aaronson, Noah Okafor and Wilfried Gnonto.
Lastly, influential captain Ethan Ampadu will sit out next Sunday's trip to Brentford if cautioned.

After victory at the London Stadium, Arne Slot named an unchanged lineup on Wednesday, one that again did not feature Mohamed Salah, so will he stick or twist in this one?
Conor Bradley, Jeremie Frimpong and Giovanni Leoni remain sidelined, so it'll once again be Joe Gomez at right-back, with Miloš Kerkez and Andy Robertson timesharing on the opposite side.
Florian Wirtz's wait for a first Liverpool goal goes on, his strike on Wednesday recorded as an own goal, while Alexander Isak could continue to lead the line, chosen over Hugo Ekitiké. Lastly, Dominik Szoboszlai will sit out next Saturday's clash with Brighton if carded.
Liverpool predicted lineup vs Leeds United: (4-2-3-1): Alisson; Gomez, Konaté, van Dijk, Robertson; Gravenberch, Mac Allister, Szoboszlai, Wirtz, Gakpo; Isak.

Even if he doesn't start, Mohamed Salah will feature at some stage, and he'll be the story. The Egyptian has scored nine goals in six previous appearances with Leeds, so can he spark into life?
