Leeds take on the visitors Liverpool in the round 31 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Monday, April 17th at Elland Road (Leeds).
Leeds, despite their legendary status, spent a long time in the Championship. And after their long-awaited return, they comfortably spent only the first year in the Premier League. But after that, they constantly had to fight to keep their place. And in order to avoid relegation, the project's management used the same recipe twice. In 2022, they parted ways with the cult coach Bielsa. But Marsh justified his invitation by keeping his team in the Premier League. However, it's not surprising that even Jesse was let go without sentimentality in a similar situation a year later, in February. On the one hand, this move turned out to be quite successful, as under Javi Gracia they achieved several important successes, including defeating a direct competitor, Nottingham Forest. On the other hand, the Peacocks are still in the danger zone. And they lost heavily in 2 out of 3 recent games, not just to Arsenal away - last weekend, after taking the lead, they conceded 5 goals in response from Crystal Palace, who had revived under their old-new coach, Roy Hodgson.

Liverpool can only reminisce about last season when their failures were the defeats in the Champions League final and the race for 1st place in the Premier League. Especially since they managed to win both cups played in England. Now, all the real successes of the Reds are reduced only to the conquest of the most non-rating title, the Super Cup, especially since the City team won it at the very beginning of the season - who remembers that? Everything is overshadowed by negative emotions, from being eliminated from other cups to losing in the Champions League round of 16 to the same opponent as in 2022 - and to make matters worse, they were crushed by Real at Anfield, starting with a pair of goals scored in the first quarter of an hour. There are bright matches in the Premier League - one can recall the 7-0 against Manchester United, or last Sunday, when they made a comeback from 0-2 in a match against the sole leader of the Premier League, Arsenal. However, the overall results do not shine. In particular, they have failed to win for 4 rounds now, and their chances of finishing in the top 4 are becoming almost purely theoretical.
In the previous two seasons Leeds had 1 draw and 3 defeats. But in the fall of last year, they won 2-1 against the Reds in their stronghold. Despite all the problems, the Reds are still considered clear favorites, even away from home. But they are unstable, as are the hosts of the arena - we bet that there will be total over 2.5 goals scored in this match.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 scored goals.
