Liverpool vs Leeds United Prediction, Tips & Prediction

Liverpool v Leeds United English Premier League match preview, tips and preview at SSaturday, September 12, 2024. scheduled start 17:30 UK / 18:30 CET at Anfield.

The Reds finally ended their thirty-year wait for the league title, and before the victory celebration was over, Jurgen Klopp declared that he was not satisfied and that he had every intention of defending his title.

The German said he wants his team to be a results machine, and the PL medal would come alone. Consistency is key for the Merseyside team, and they are determined at all costs to start their campaign with a win.

They have easily been the best team in the country alongside Manchester City for the past two years, and the Reds have some head start on the season.

The reasons are: Pep Guardiola and his team flirted intensely with Lionel Messi to reward Barcelona's talented Argentine, only to see their effort fail. Furthermore, Citizens have yet to reach an agreement with Napoli to bring Kalidou Koulibaly to their camps.

Furthermore, there are reports that some of the main participants of the city camp have also been affected by the dreaded Covid-19 virus.

Of course, this is the right time to attack Klopp's men. If they can secure an early lead in the title race, the momentum will shift dramatically in their favor.

As they face the newly promoted Peacocks (returning to the PL after a 16-year hiatus), Liverpool are easily favorites to post victory, all the more so as the game is played at Anfield.

Face to face (h2h) and past meetings

• The last meeting of the two was in the 2016 EFL Cup, and then Klopp's men recorded a 2-0 victory.
• They also recorded 14 of their previous 17 overall wins.
• In fact, the last victory for Marcelo Bielsa's men against their rival was in 2001.
• The Reds had scored two or more goals in five of their previous seven meetings.

Liverpool vs Leeds: Prediction

The Reds will be furious after losing to Arsenal in the Community Shield on penalties, and are determined not to let their PL title be a one off thing.

Given the difficulties Manchester City are facing, they have a chance to take the lead early on and the six-time European champions can be counted on to make the most of that.

They're at Anfield, their favorite hunting ground, and up against the newly promoted Peacocks, who would definitely be overweight. They haven't played a single top-flight match since 2004, and their first game back is against the defending champions.

Of course, expect a convincing victory from Liverpool this weekend.
