Leeds United is facing a challenging journey to Liverpool on New Year’s Day as they aim to continue their impressive streak in the Premier League.
With two victories and three draws in their last five games, Daniel Farke’s team is now seven points clear of the relegation zone.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s goal in the match against Sunderland earned the Whites a well-deserved point, maintaining their solid performance.
However, Chris Sutton doubts that Leeds’ recent form will hold up as they head to Anfield.
Following a dramatic 3-3 draw with Liverpool earlier this month, Leeds must be wary of the Reds’ star player who is beginning to shine.
With four consecutive wins under their belt since their clash in West Yorkshire, the Premier League champions are in high spirits ahead of the upcoming game.
Sutton predicts Liverpool to continue their winning streak against Leeds at Anfield, highlighting the confidence and form of Arne Slot’s team.
Liverpool’s summer signing, Florian Wirtz, is also singled out as a threat that Farke’s side should be concerned about.
Adding to the challenges for Leeds is the absence of Joe Rodon in defense, who is expected to miss multiple games due to injury. Farke may need to call upon Ethan Ampadu or Sebastiaan Bornauw to fill the gap.
Despite the recent success with a five-man defense, the Whites may opt for a different approach against Liverpool, building on their solid performance in the last match.
