The Reds extend their unbeaten run while Leeds pursue a major upset at the home of defending champions.<\/p>\n<div style='background:#f9f9f9;padding:20px;border-left:4px solid #e74c3c;margin:25px 0'>\n<h3 style='margin-top:0'>\ud83d\udd25 Quick Facts<\/h3>\n<ul style='margin:10px 0;padding-left:20px'>\n<li>Liverpool on 7-game unbeaten streak with 4 consecutive wins entering today&#8217;s clash<\/li>\n<li>Leeds United enjoy 5-match unbeaten run featuring upset victories over Chelsea and draws with Liverpool<\/li>\n<li>Last meeting ended 3-3 in December 2025 at Elland Road with dramatic comeback displays from both teams<\/li>\n<li>Dominic Calvert-Lewin scored 7 goals in 6 straight matches, leading Leeds&#8217; charge away from relegation zone<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Liverpool Seeks New Year Momentum Against In-Form Visitors<\/h2>\n<p>Liverpool begin 2026 pursuing their eighth consecutive match without defeat. The Reds won all four recent matches including victories against Tottenham and Brighton.<\/p>\n<p>Arne Slot&#8217;s side defeated bottom-placed Wolverhampton Wanderers 2-1 last weekend but the performance lacked conviction. Liverpool currently sit fourth in the Premier League, five points behind leaders.<\/p>\n<p>The reigning champions face a Leeds unit that has recovered significantly from their promotion struggles. Daniel Farke&#8217;s team earned points from Chelsea, Liverpool, Brentford and Sunderland in December.<\/p>\n<h2>Calvert-Lewin&#8217;s Red-Hot Form Poses Serious Threat<\/h2>\n<p><b>Dominic Calvert-Lewin<\/b> has emerged as the most dangerous attacker in English football. The Leeds striker scored 7 goals across 6 consecutive Premier League matches, including his winning finish against Crystal Palace.<\/p>\n<p>His remarkable goalscoring streak represents the best run of his career. Calvert-Lewin combined with Brenden Aaronson to fashion Leeds&#8217; magnificent team goal versus Sunderland on Sunday, a move involving all 11 players.<\/p>\n<p>Liverpool&#8217;s defense remains concerning despite their recent form. The Reds surrendered two leads in December&#8217;s 3-3 thriller at Leeds and continue to struggle keeping clean sheets.<\/p>\n<table style='width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;margin:20px 0'>\n<tr style='background:#f4f4f4'>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd;font-weight:bold'>Metric<\/td>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd;font-weight:bold;text-align:center'>Liverpool<\/td>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd;font-weight:bold;text-align:center'>Leeds United<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>League Position<\/td>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd;text-align:center'><b>4th<\/b><\/td>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd;text-align:center'><b>16th<\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style='background:#f9f9f9'>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>Current Form<\/td>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd;text-align:center'>7 games unbeaten<\/td>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd;text-align:center'>5 games unbeaten<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>Top Scorer<\/td>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd;text-align:center'><b>Hugo Ekitik\u00e9 (8)<\/b><\/td>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd;text-align:center'><b>Calvert-Lewin (8)<\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style='background:#f9f9f9'>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>Recent Head-to-Head<\/td>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd;text-align:center' colspan='2'>Drew 3-3 on December 6, 2025<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<h2>Key Personnel Absences Impact Both Camps<\/h2>\n<p>Liverpool welcome back <b>Dominik Szoboszlai<\/b> following his one-match suspension.

The midfield pairing of Gravenberch and Jones provides attacking support alongside wing play.<\/p>\n<h2>Will Liverpool Control the Contest at Anfield Today?<\/h2>\n<p>This New Year&#8217;s Day fixture presents contrasting narratives. Liverpool seek consistency and a return to championship mentality after wobbling through autumn.<\/p>\n<p>Leeds pursue the unlikeliest of victories against the defending champions. Their exceptional December form suggests they possess the offensive firepower to trouble Liverpool&#8217;s leaky rearguard.<\/p>\n<p>The Reds boast superior quality and experience but must heed December&#8217;s warning.
