"The reigning champions dominated possession and the share of chances in the first match of 2026 for both sides, only to repeatedly lack a ruthless touch in front of goal. Hugo Ekitike had several good chances, improbably heading Jeremie Frimpong's cross back in the direction of the home winger when the forward was well placed in front of goal during the first half. Reds captain Virgil van Dijk also met returning playmaker Dominik Szoboszlai's delivery with an effort that landed wide with 20 minutes remaining."
"Liverpool's four-match winning run in all competitions stalled with an uninspired stalemate against Leeds United in the Premier League at Anfield, dropping points against the promoted side for the second time in under a month. The return match was in marked contrast to the 3-3 draw between the teams at Elland Road on December 6, when Ao Tanaka scored a 96th-minute equaliser for Daniel Farke's side."

Dominic Calvert-Lewin had a late goal correctly ruled out for offside as the game opened up. Leeds moved seven points clear of the relegation zone after 19 games and extended an unbeaten run to six matches.
