Liverpool hosts Leeds United in round 19 of the English Premier League. The match will be played on Wednesday, February 23rd at Anfield (Liverpool)
Jurgen Klopp's team is second in the Premier League standings with 57 points after 25 matches. Liverpool gained 17 victories and six draws and suffered two defeats. The Reds are approaching the next league match with a streak of eight victories in all competitions. Such excellent results allow them to keep the chances of winning four different tournaments — the Premier League, the FA Cup, the League Cup, and the Champions League. Last Saturday, Klopp’s men dealt with the outsiders of the championship, Norwich City (3-1). The hosts conceded first but changed the game after the 60th minute through the efforts of Sadio Mane, Mohamed Salah, and Luis Diaz. The latter scored his debut goal for the Reds.

Marcelo Bielsa's team is in 15th place with 23 points. Leeds United has five victories, eight draws, and 11 losses after 24 games. Unlike Liverpool, the Whites cannot boast of stable results in the championship. In the last four rounds, they earned only one point thanks to a draw against Aston Villa in Birmingham (3-3). The other three matches ended in defeats. On February 20, the Peacocks lost to their bitter rival Manchester United in the Roses derby. Leeds failed the 1st half, conceding two unanswered goals. After the break, the Whites dumbfounded the Red Devils United, leveling the score within a minute. However, the hosts lacked the strength for the rest of the match, and the visitors regained their advantage of two goals and won 2-4.
Leeds and Liverpool crossed paths in the match of the 4th round. The game on September 12 at Elland Road ended with a major victory for Liverpool (0-3). Mohamed Salah, Fabinho, and Sadio Mane scored a goal each. And the Whites were one man down in the last half an hour after Pascal Struijk was sent off. A victory in the upcoming match will allow Liverpool to reduce the gap to Manchester City to three points, so the Reds will not need additional motivation. On the other hand, Bielsa's team also needs points. Another defeat will make it harder for the Whites to keep their place in the elite for next season. It is unlikely that there will be a large number of goals in the upcoming game. The Reds have a very busy schedule, so they try to play without extra effort and pay a lot of attention to defense. They have conceded only three goals in nine previous matches, with no more than four goals scored in all those games.
Prediction for the match: Under 4.0 goals scored
