Leeds United vs Liverpool: Statz Preview & Predictions

5th December 2025

When is a crisis really a crisis in football?

For Liverpool, maybe now’s the time given that their win ratio in the Premier League after 14 games is a paltry 50% – not what you’d expect from the defending champions.

Leeds United beat Chelsea 3-1 at Elland Road on Wednesday, so can they take another big scalp on home soil on Saturday (17:30 GMT)?

Leeds United vs Liverpool: Preview

Having lost more away games than they’ve won this term, Liverpool’s players won’t enjoy setting foot on the team bus on Saturday.

Leeds, meanwhile, are doing absolutely fine in front of their own fans – W3 D2 L2, so the raucous home support at Elland Road could play a part in unsettling Liverpool’s low-on-confidence players.

Liverpool boss Arne Slot will need to oversee an improvement at both ends of the pitch… could a recall for Mo Salah be something for punters to keep an eye on for this clash?

Leeds United vs Liverpool Betting Tips

Our projections model is predicting a rip-roaring contest at Elland Road, with a goal supremacy of 1.82-1.38 in Liverpool’s favour.

The Reds are a shade of odds-on with the bookies, which seems good value IF you expect them to deliver a more befitting performance on Saturday… that’s a big ‘if’ right now.

Perhaps more of interest are the goals-based markets, with Both Teams to Score & Over 2.5 Goals available at odds of 20/21.

That’s landed in each of Leeds’ last four games, while Liverpool have conceded three or more goals in three of their last five outings.

Slot has dropped Salah to the bench for each of their last two games, but you sense the Dutchman will be very keen to find a reason to restore the Egyptian to his starting eleven.

Maybe that came in the flaccid 1-1 draw with Sunderland in midweek, so perhaps we can expect Salah to return on Saturday… where he’ll be desperate to put in a big performance.

In his last nine Premier League appearances, Salah has had 3+ shots in 6/9 and 1+ shot on target also in 6/9.

Those are the selections here, with the double available at 10/11.

·   Both Teams to Score & Over 2.5 Goals – 20/21

·   Mo Salah 3+ Shots & 1+ Shot on Target – 10/11
