Who will win Liverpool vs. Leeds United?

Liverpool infamously endured a run of nine defeats from 12 matches leading up to late November, but they seem to have turned a corner at the tail end of 2025.

The Reds have won four on the bounce going into the new year, including victories over Inter Milan, Tottenham Hotspur and Brighton & Hove Albion, and it is no coincidence that the Merseysiders' form has improved alongside the growing influence of Florian Wirtz.

However, Slot's side remain vulnerable from set-pieces, something that bottom-of-the-table Wolves exploited at the weekend, even if the Old Gold were beaten in the end.

As for Leeds, frontman Dominic Calvert-Lewin extended his Premier League scoring streak to six games on Sunday - the longest run of any English player in the division since 2019 - and the former Everton striker will be keen to carry that on against his old enemy.

The Whites will also take heart from their significant upturn in results of late, as well as the fact that their current unbeaten run features a 3-3 comeback draw in the reverse fixture against Liverpool less than a month ago on December 6.

With that in mind, expect to see a close game on Thursday in which both teams find the back of the net, though the Reds' attacking combination of Wirtz and Hugo Ekitike - in addition to the returning Dominik Szoboszlai - may prove too much for Leeds.
