"Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson almost gifted Leeds United an opener as the Reds played their first match of 2026 in the Premier League on Thursday. Brazil's Alisson played a pass straight to Ethan Ampadu in space outside the box, although the Wales international had his head in his hands after his tame first-time shot allowed the two-time Premier League winner to swiftly scamper across his goal and claim the attempt."
"Jeremie Frimpong's pace and productivity from the wings made the Netherlands wideman a candidate to create a breakthrough, sending in one delivery that was curiously headed back in his direction by forward Hugo Ekitike in front of goal. "Jeremie Frimpong looks dangerous every time the ball goes on the outside," said Carragher. "Frimpong always gets that half a yard, and you just don't see that in the game.""
Alisson played a pass directly to Ethan Ampadu outside the box, and Ampadu's tame first-time shot was collected when Alisson recovered across his goal. The first half at Anfield was largely uneventful as Liverpool failed to convert several promising opportunities. Jeremie Frimpong caused problems down the flank with pace and dangerous deliveries, including one that Hugo Ekitike headed back into his own path in front of goal. Liverpool made selection changes with Conor Bradley starting and Cody Gakpo returning from the bench, while Andy Robertson and Dominik Szoboszlai were available and Joe Gomez and Wataru Endo were absent through injury.
