Liverpool drew with Leeds in a thrilling encounter at Elland Road in December 2025.
Liverpool will be looking to extend their unbeaten streak in the Premier League to 7 when Leeds visit them on New Year’s Day. Coming off a 2-1 win against Wolves, Liverpool’s form has largely improved after their shocking slump in October and November, thanks to their striker, Hugo Ekitike.
Leeds, meanwhile, are themselves unbeaten in 5 games, and are coming off a 1-1 draw against Sunderland. Their frontman Dominic Calvert-Lewin has been on a rampage, scoring 7 goals in the last 6 games.
That said, here is the predicted lineup for Liverpool for their fixture against Leeds:
Goalkeeper – Alisson Becker
It’s a given that Alisson will start for Liverpool when he is fit.
Defence: Jeremie Frimpong, Ibrahima Konate, Virgil van Dijk, Milos Kerkez
The backline that started against Wolves at Anfield might keep their places in the XI. While Konate and van Dijk are sure-shot starters, Frimpong, who has been getting starts of late, is expected to do the same once again.
Midfield: Ryan Gravenberch, Alexis Mac Allister, Curtis Jones, Dominik Szoboszlai, Florian Wirtz
Dominik Szoboszlai returns after serving suspension, and Federico Chiesa who started against Wolves, might give way for the Hungarian.
Attack: Hugo Ekitike
The in-form Hugo Ekitike to start against Leeds United is a no-brainer.
