A massive match for the defending Premier League champions is set for Elland Road on Dec 6, as Liverpool bid to bounce back to form against a rejuvenated Leeds. Find our picks here.
The Reds have won just four of their last 14 matches across all competitions, and they were made to pay for a limp display in midweek after playing out a 1-1 home draw against Sunderland.
Leeds boosted their survival hopes in midweek with a season-best performance against Chelsea. A second straight win would drag them further clear of the relegation places.

Daniel Farke deserves credit for keeping his nerve in midweek, despite the pressure increasing on the coach with questions asked surrounding his long term future.
Leeds were dominant from start to finish against Chelsea, as they played with an energy which was typical of their promotion-winning campaign last term.
The win means that Leeds are currently three points clear of the relegation zone, and they could climb up to 15th this weekend. Dominic Calvert-Lewin has been an inspired signing for the Whites, scoring in each of the last two games.

Questions continue to be asked of Arne Slot, despite leading Liverpool to a second Premier League title last term.
The Reds have won just one of their last four Premier League matches, and they looked a tired team in midweek when playing out a 1-1 draw against Sunderland.
Despite boasting world-class talent, the Reds looked void of ideas in the final third of the field, with Mohamed Salah benched for the second game in a row. However, the winger could be recalled on Saturday, while Isak is likely to be taken out of the firing line after struggling at Anfield.
| TOTAL | Leeds | Liverpool | DRAWS | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Games | 26 | 5 | 17 | 4 |
| Goals | 89 | 25 | 64 |
Liverpool have become extremely hard to trust in the Premier League this season, and they could easily come unstuck at Elland Road against an energetic rival.
However, based on the odds, it is worth trusting the Reds to pick up a second straight away victory in the EPL on Saturday.
