Leeds United, fresh off an impressive win over Chelsea, hosts a struggling Liverpool side that is expected to face difficulty breaking down the hosts’ low-block defense in a match deemed a “must-win for both.”
Leeds United hosts Liverpool at Elland Road in a Saturday fixture that is a “must-win for both” clubs. The hosts snapped a four-match losing streak with an impressive 3-1 win over Chelsea, a performance built on dominating space with only 29% possession.
Daniel Farke’s side needs points to avoid a relegation battle, leaning on Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who has scored in back-to-back games.
Liverpool finally secured their first draw of the season against Sunderland, but “The Reds weren’t great” and have struggled against low-block defenses—a tactic expected from Leeds.
The key clash will be the aerial battle between Virgil van Dijk and Calvert-Lewin; “If he loses them, it could be chaos for the Reds.” A draw is predicted for the visitors against a resurgent Leeds side.
