Leeds – Liverpool. English Premier League match Predictions & Betting

«Peacocks» played a high-quality game in the championship's final rounds. They managed to take points away from Premier League leader Manchester City in the previous match of the national championship, defeating the «citizens» with a score of (2:1). Leeds has won the current championship for the third time in a row. In the previous rounds, Marcelo Bielsa's charges faced two newcomers, Fulham and Sheffield United, with the same outcome.

Leeds moved up to tenth place in the standings and into the race for European Cup tickets after scoring nine points. After all, sixth and seventh position will earn a ticket to the Europa League under some circumstances. The Peacocks currently have 45 points and are five points behind seventh-placed Tottenham Hotspur. It's worth noting that they only played one game less than Spurs.

I would admit that «Leeds» has played well in recent home matches. In addition to defeating the «blades» in the previous five matches, they also won matches against Crystal Palace (2:0) and Southampton (3:0), drew (0:0) with Chelsea the future hosts of the series, and only lost to Aston Villa (0:1). Overall, Leeds are now eighth in the Premier League when it comes to home games. The «Peacocks» won six times, lost six times, and drew three times in 15 home games.

Due to a suspension, defender Liam Cooper will miss the game. Rafinha Diaz and Rodrigo Machado, both strikers, are doubtful for the game due to minor injuries. It's also possible that Adam Forshaw won't play.

The Merseysiders' Champions League run came to an end this week. In the rematch with Real Madrid, Liverpool were unable to find the keys to the Spaniards' score, and the game ended in a (0:0) draw. Now Jurgen Klopp's charges will concentrate on the domestic championship, where the reigning champion is struggling.

Liverpool is just in sixth position in the league table heading into the next round. Klopp's side has 52 points on the board and has not yet been eliminated from contention for a spot in the Champions League. The Merseysiders are just three points behind fourth-placed West Ham. The gap between the third Leicester and the fourth Leicester is four points.

I must admit that Liverpool performs much better on the road than at home. In six previous matches on the opponents' grounds, Jurgen Klopp's team has won five times. The Merseysiders have scored at least two goals in four of these matches. In general, Liverpool has the sixth best predictor in the Premier League when it comes to road games. The team won seven, drew five, and lost three times in 15 away matches.

Virgil van Dijk, Joel Matip, and Joseph Gomez are all in the club's infirmary until the end of the season. Jordan Henderson, a midfielder, is also injured. Curtis Jones, Divock Origi, and Quivin Kelleher have all been called into question.
