Premier League action is set for New Year's Day, as Anfield hosts an interesting clash between Leeds and Liverpool. Find our picks here.
The Reds have climbed into the Champions League spots following a strong run of form. Their home win over Wolves on Saturday was their third straight success.
However, Leeds should also be confident ahead of this clash after going five games without a defeat. Last time out, they played out an away draw with Wolves.

Liverpool have bounced back from a wobble at the start of December by claiming wins in each of their last three games.
That run of form sees Arne Slot's side sit in a Champions League spot, and they hold a three-point advantage over Chelsea and Man United. Despite their stuttering form, the Reds have remained strong at Anfield this season, winning six of their nine fixtures, and scoring 1.67 goals per game.
Meanwhile, they have excelled defensively in home fixtures, conceding just 1.11 per game and keeping clean sheets in 33% of their matches.

Credit must be given to Leeds United this season, as they have shown excellent character to move out of the relegation places after going five without defeat.
The Whites have picked up four points from their last two fixtures, and they are now seven points clear of the relegation places. Last time out, they landed a well-deserved 1-1 draw at Sunderland.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin has been a standout star for the team, scoring eight goals in 16 EPL appearances.
| TOTAL | Liverpool | Leeds | DRAWS | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Games | 27 | 17 | 5 | 5 |
| Goals | 95 | 67 | 28 |
High-scoring clashes have been common when these sides have collided, with an average of 5.5 goals scored across the last four meetings.
Leeds have shown a high level of form in recent weeks, and we wouldn't be surprised to see them take a point from this trip to Anfield.
