Conor Bradley Leeds United
Leeds United have turned their fortunes around as they look to extend their five-game unbeaten run. Unfortunately for them, they will be facing Liverpool at Anfield this weekend.
The last game between both sides ended in an exhilarating 3-3 draw at Elland Road. Arne Slot was furious his side were not able to get the three points despite going 2-0 up early in the second half. Hugo Ekitike scored both goals in what looked liked a victory, but things changed when Wilfried Gnonto was brought down for a penalty.

Slot still thinks the incident was not a foul, as he mentioned in his press conference ahead of the game. Regardless, the Whites are full of confidence after being able to grab results against Chelsea, Crystal Palace and Sunderland.
Conor Bradley gives his assessment on Leeds United
Since dropping points at Elland Road, the reads have steadied their ship. After a long run of poor results, Arne Slot has managed to guide the team into some good form – Liverpool are unbeaten in their last five games, winning the last three of them.
Ahead of the game on New Year’s Day, Reds defender Conor Bradley says his side are expecting a difficult task just like at Elland Road:
“Leeds are a really good team – we found that out a few weeks ago when we went to Elland Road.” he said in a press conference.
“We know it’s going to be a difficult game but we’re really looking forward to it.”
Whites should be confident of a result
Daniel Farke’s men have turned things around in the last few weeks, but one thing has remained – their resilience. Leeds have staged many comebacks to get crucial points on the board in the last few games.
It will be a difficult test against an in-form Liverpool side, but the Whites have already recorded triumphs against Chelsea and Crystal Palace. They have a poor record away from home, but their last results against Brentford and Sunderland have shown that they are finding their feet.
This game on Thursday will be crucial, and fans should have confidence that Daniel Farke and his side can get a result.
