MATCH FACTS

Head-to-head

Leeds United's 2-1 victory at Anfield in October ended a 12-match winless streak against Liverpool.

Leeds are looking for only their second Premier League double over Liverpool, previously achieving that feat in 2000-01.

Liverpool are unbeaten in their last five league visits to Elland Road.

Leeds United

Leeds' record of seven wins, eight draws and 15 defeats is exactly the same as they had after 30 Premier League matches of last season.

The Whites took nine points from their final eight league games to finish 17th, avoiding relegation on the final day of the campaign.

Leeds have won three of their seven Premier League fixtures under Javi Gracia, after they were victorious in just four of the previous 23 matches this season.

They have triumphed in only one of their 15 Premier League games this season against teams in the top half of the table, a 2-1 victory at Anfield in the reverse fixture.

Leeds have amassed 20 of their 29 Premier League points this campaign at Elland Road.

Liverpool

Liverpool are without a victory in five matches in all competitions, equalling their longest winless streak under Jurgen Klopp.

The Reds have won just 30% of their Premier League points in away games this season, the lowest rate of any side after Nottingham Forest's 22%.

The Reds can lose more than eight Premier League away matches in a season for the first time since 2011-12 under Kenny Dalglish.

No team has conceded more Premier League away goals in 2023 than Liverpool's 14 (level with Everton and Nottingham Forest).

They have scored only one goal from their last 56 shot attempts in away matches.

0 - 3.

Whenever we hear that so & so haven't scored in 900 games, or the team haven't won at Elland Road for 12 years or the team are struggling to defend or score, we all knows what happens when they play us. It's 0700 in NZ and hoping it's gonna be a great day with a WIN.
