Leeds United-Liverpool FC
Bost sides have fairly inconsistent in recent matches, not securing enough points to push them up the table. The Reds will be hopeful of defeating Leeds United and at least look for a top 5 finish by the time the season is over.

After their recent loss, Leeds will be keen on salvaging at least a point against the favourites. Playing at home means they will have a slight advantage although that may not make much of a difference against a side like Liverpool. Nevertheless, the outcome of the match will largely influence either side’s position in the standings.
Liverpool have won 12 games in the EPL this season, but have also suffered nine losses while Leeds have only won seven, losing 15. The race for this season’s Premier League crown seems to be between Arsenal and Manchester City who are only four points apart from each other although the latter have a match in hand.

Leeds United-Liverpool FC preview
Leeds have a narrow buffer over the relegation places in 16th place, and are a mere two points ahead of Nottingham Forest. However, a win for the latter could see them move ahead provided they produce something magical against Manchester United on Sunday.
Liverpool go into Monday’s match still stuck in eighth place, and following Brighton & Hove Albion and Aston Villa’s victories on Saturday, they don’t have a chance of moving up despite a win on Monday.
