Leeds vs Liverpool Prediction 6 December 2025
🔊 Can Liverpool start stringing together some points? The crisis lingers, and in this context, an away trip to relegation-battling Leeds seems like a prime opportunity to secure a rare victory. However, that's just at first glance. The hosts at Elland Road have found decent form and are ready to challenge the reigning English champions. Bookmakers aren't ruling out potential upsets, as the odds don't appear overwhelmingly in Daniel Farke's team's favor.
Head-to-Head
📊 The head-to-head history between these teams is quite intriguing. Over the past decade, they have faced each other only seven times, with Leeds managing to take points off Liverpool on two occasions, which is no small feat. However, there's a flip side to this story-the "Peacocks" have lost 3 of their last 5 matches, conceding a total of 15 goals. These were comprehensive defeats.
Head-to-head statistics Leeds - Liverpool
Leeds United Team Overview
Daniel Farke is teetering on the brink of dismissal, as his side has suffered four consecutive defeats. However, it doesn't feel like the players are undermining their coach. On the contrary, in every match, the "Peacocks" fight hard on the pitch, though they often lack a bit of luck. The xPts metric indicates that Leeds have missed out on more than six points and could be sitting comfortably mid-table right now.
Nevertheless, there is tangible progress, as in the last round the "Whites" defeated Chelsea 3-1 at home, pulling themselves out of the relegation zone. This wasn't a typical underdog upset either. Daniel Farke's men outperformed the "Blues" in all key statistical categories except possession, which they didn't prioritize. Even the opposing coach, Enzo Maresca, acknowledged that Leeds were the stronger side and fully deserved their victory.

Liverpool Team Overview
Is the decline continuing? Liverpool have picked up points in two consecutive rounds, which could be seen as progress. However, only die-hard optimists would think that way. In reality, the team sits just in 9th place. Last weekend, they confidently defeated West Ham (2-0), with even Alexander Isak scoring his debut goal for the Reds in the Premier League.
But the joy was short-lived, as Arne Slot's men struggled against Sunderland midweek (1-1). Yes, they took significantly more shots (23-9), but their xG was just 1.55. The ball found the back of the net only thanks to a deflection, and it was actually the Black Cats who came closer to snatching a win at the end. Federico Chiesa saved Liverpool from conceding into an empty net as they threw everything forward.

🎙 Daniel Farke was understandably pleased with the outcome of the match against Chelsea: “An excellent performance against one of the world's top football teams. Chelsea are among the contenders for the Premier League title, having won the Club World Cup, but today we deservedly claimed victory,” said the German coach.
📝 According to TEAMtalk, Leeds are one of the contenders for Santiago Gimenez, who hasn't found his place at Milan. At the very least, he has been included in the list of clubs offered the services of the Mexican forward. However, the player's agent stated that he has no intention of leaving the Rossoneri.
❌ The absences of Daniel James and Sean Longstaff are not news to Leeds' coaching staff-these players have missed several matches already. However, recent health issues have arisen for Lukas Nmecha and Dominic Calvert-Lewin. The former risks missing the game against Liverpool due to a hamstring injury, while the latter is dealing with a calf muscle issue.
Liverpool
🎙 Arne Slot tried to find positives in the draw with Sunderland: “Their goal wasn’t even a real chance. If that counts as a chance, then we had 20 of those today. This season, it’s happened too often: we hardly allow opponents to create opportunities, but the few we do concede end up as goals. We create more than we concede, but unfortunately, the end result is often negative. We were unlucky again not to push through and win. But looking at recent weeks, we would have lost this game - so there is a positive in that,” said the Dutch coach.
📝 David Ornstein, one of the most reputable insiders, claims that Real Madrid were horrified by Ibrahima Konaté’s performances this season. Following this, the player also demanded a salary of 10 million euros per year from the club, which dashed his hopes of joining the “Los Blancos.” Madrid immediately withdrew from negotiations.
❌ Giovanni Leone, Stefan Bajcetic, and Jeremie Frimpong remain in Liverpool’s injury list. According to Arne Slot, Conor Bradley is expected to return for the game against Leeds. This is undoubtedly positive news for the “Reds.”
🟨 Referee and Yellow Cards
Anthony Taylor has officiated the most matches in the current Premier League season with 11 games, issuing 38 yellow cards, averaging 3.5 per match. Leeds at home receive an average of two yellow cards per game, while Liverpool on the road average 2.29. All indicators suggest that the upcoming match will be the seventh consecutive game where Taylor shows more than 2.5 yellow cards.
⚽️ Goals Prediction
Liverpool's defense is in disarray, while Leeds consistently engage in high-scoring encounters - the over 2.5 goals bet has hit in 9 of their last 10 Premier League outings. Considering that head-to-head clashes between these teams often result in plenty of goals, we recommend betting on the over.
🚩 Corners Prediction
The "Peacocks" won't just sit back at home, especially against a vulnerable Liverpool side. We believe that Leeds will push forward and deliver more than 3.5 corners, as they have done in 23 of their last 25 home matches. At Elland Road, Farke's squad averages a solid 4.71 corners per game.
Editor's Prediction
Setting aside various game aspects, Liverpool's main issue is juggling commitments on two fronts without sufficient squad depth, particularly in defense. There are no unimportant matches for the Reds right now, but their Champions League trip to Atalanta might take precedence over another Premier League round, as failing to secure a result could see them drop out of the top 16. The schedule is quite challenging for the Scousers.
This factor boosts Leeds' chances of success, which aren't low to begin with, considering the recent performances from the Peacocks. It wouldn't be surprising if they pull off another surprise with a 2-2 draw. Based on the arguments above, we lean towards betting on both teams to score (yes), a bet that has proven successful in Leeds' last five home Premier League matches. The Whites rarely leave their home ground without finding the net.
