Leeds vs Liverpool: Predictions, Betting odds, Lineups, Preview

Explore Ladbrokes' detailed preview for Leeds vs Liverpool in the Premier League. Stats, odds, predictions, and lineups for the 17:30 GMT match.

• Fixture: Leeds vs Liverpool
• Date: Saturday, 06 December 2025
• Kick-off: 17:30 GMT
• Venue: Elland Road

Leeds will be looking to build on their recent home win against Chelsea, but their form away from home has been poor, losing their last three away games. Liverpool, on the other hand, have had mixed results recently, with a draw against Sunderland and a loss to Nottingham Forest at home. The predicted lineups suggest both teams will stick to their recent formations, with Leeds likely to be more defensive in their 3-5-2 setup, while Liverpool's 4-2-3-1 could offer more attacking options. This match could be closely contested, with Leeds aiming to frustrate Liverpool and hit on the counter.

Liverpool's attacking talent, particularly Wirtz and Isak, could pose a significant threat to Leeds' defence, which has been leaky in recent away games. However, Leeds have shown they can score, as evidenced by their win against Chelsea, and players like Calvert-Lewin and Nmecha could cause problems for Liverpool's backline. Given the recent form and the predicted lineups, this game might see both teams scoring, but Liverpool's overall quality might just edge them to a narrow victory.

Leeds have had a mixed bag of results recently, with a convincing home win against Chelsea being the highlight. However, their away form has been a concern, losing their last three away games, including heavy defeats to Brighton and Nottingham Forest. This inconsistency might affect their confidence going into this match, but the recent home win could provide a much-needed boost.

• Win: 3-1 vs Chelsea (H)
• Loss: 2-3 vs Manchester City (A)
• Loss: 1-2 vs Aston Villa (H)
• Loss: 1-3 vs Nottingham Forest (A)
• Loss: 0-3 vs Brighton (A)

Liverpool's recent form has been up and down, with a draw against Sunderland and a loss to Nottingham Forest at home. However, they did manage to secure a solid away win against West Ham, which should give them some confidence. Their home form has been less convincing, but with a strong lineup, they'll be looking to turn things around.

Recent Premier League Results:

• Draw: 1-1 vs Sunderland (H)
• Win: 2-0 vs West Ham (A)
• Loss: 0-3 vs Nottingham Forest (H)
• Loss: 0-3 vs Manchester City (A)
• Win: 2-0 vs Aston Villa (H)

The head-to-head record between Leeds and Liverpool shows clear dominance for Liverpool, with three wins in the last five meetings. The most recent encounter saw Liverpool thrashing Leeds 6-1, while Leeds' only win in this period was a 2-1 victory away at Liverpool. This pattern suggests Liverpool has had the upper hand in recent clashes, often scoring heavily against Leeds.

• Predicted lineup: Perri (GK), Rodon (DF), Bijol (DF), Struijk (DF), Bogle (MF), Tanaka (MF), Ampadu (MF), Stach (MF), Gudmundsson (MF), Calvert-Lewin (AT), Nmecha (AT)

Leeds are expected to line up in a 3-5-2 formation, with Rodon, Bijol, and Struijk forming a solid back three. This setup should allow them to be compact and hard to break down, while also providing support for wing-backs Bogle and Gudmundsson to push forward and support the attack.

• Predicted lineup: Alisson (GK), Gomez (DF), Konaté (DF), Van Dijk (DF), Robertson (DF), Gravenberch (MF), Mac Allister (MF), Szoboszlai (MF), Wirtz (MF), Salah (MF), Isak (AT)

Liverpool's predicted 4-2-3-1 formation should see them dominate possession and create numerous scoring opportunities. With a strong backline led by Van Dijk and Konaté, and creative players like Szoboszlai and Wirtz in midfield, they'll look to control the game and exploit any gaps in Leeds' defence.

• Nmecha vs Konaté: Nmecha's physicality and goal-scoring threat will be tested against Konaté's defensive solidity.

• Ampadu vs Gravenberch: Ampadu's tenacity in midfield will be crucial in stopping Gravenberch's creative influence.

• Calvert-Lewin (Leeds): Calvert-Lewin's ability to hold up play and bring others into the game will be key for Leeds.

• Wirtz (Liverpool): Wirtz's flair and vision in midfield could unlock Liverpool's attacking potential.
