Liverpool Leeds United
Liverpool and Leeds United meet again this week following their exhilarating 3-3 draw at Elland Road a few weeks ago. The game was tightly contested, and ended in drama.
Ao Tanaka popped up with a late equalizer after Arne Slot thought his side had won the game. The aftermath was also entertaining as Slot and his players said they deserved to win the game. Just like the reverse fixture, the circumstances now are a bit similar.

Before the Whites hosted the Reds, they had recorded a huge win over Chelsea, following a brilliant second half performance at the Eithad. This time around, Leeds are on a five game unbeaten streak as they prepare to face Arne Slot’s men once again.
Leeds United boss takes jab at Liverpool ahead of game at Anfield
The Reds seem to have picked themselves up following a poor run of results over the last month. Slot seems to have stabilized things at the club heading into this game. Leeds are also full of confidence on their run of form, and will go into this game hoping to get a result. Daniel Farke addressed the media in Tuesday’s press conference. When he was asked if it was a good time to face Liverpool, his answer was quite surprising:
”No because when I look at the squad, you could fear the worst.
”They have Ekitike, impressive start, Florian Wirtz alone cost more than all our summer signings.
”For confidence of offensive players, I don’t think it changes anything if one or two aren’t available. We travel very respectful and aware.”

Recent away games should give Farke the blueprint
Leeds have been one of the worst away teams in the Premier League this season. But the last two games have showed that maybe Daniel Farke has found the secret to success there too. The Whites picked up two points out of six against Brentford and Sunderland. These two results are very significant, as the last result the team got before then was in September against Wolves.
Hopefully the team have learnt a lot away from home in these last two games to try and get something at Anfield. They went at Liverpool with no fear in the reverse fixture, so when they meet midweek, they should be able to do it again.
