"Liverpool come into the contest on the back of a four-game winning run in all competitions after edging Wolves 2-1, while Leeds have extended their unbeaten sequence to five matches following a 1-1 draw away at Sunderland. Despite Wolves pushing them hard at Molineux, Liverpool ultimately had enough quality to prevail, with quickfire second-half goals from Ryan Gravenberch and Florian Wirtz sealing the points."
"That victory marked Liverpool's fourth successive win in all competitions and their third league win in a row, lifting them into the Premier League's top four and restoring optimism around Anfield. The Reds also boast an outstanding New Year's Day record, having not lost a Premier League fixture on January 1 since 2005, winning five and drawing one of their six league matches played on that date since then."
"Leeds, meanwhile, arrive with momentum of their own after piecing together a five-game unbeaten run, which has given them breathing room above the relegation zone. Their draw at Sunderland was respectable, but it extended a worrying away run that now stands at six league games without a win, during which they have also failed to keep a clean sheet. The Whites were delighted to take a point from December's 3-3 draw with Liverpool,"
Liverpool arrive at Anfield on New Year's Day on a four-game winning run in all competitions after a 2-1 win at Wolves, with second-half goals from Ryan Gravenberch and Florian Wirtz. The win was Liverpool's third straight league victory, lifting them into the Premier League top four and extending an unbeaten record on January 1 since 2005. Leeds carry a five-game unbeaten sequence that has eased relegation worries, but their away form is poor, spanning six league matches without a win and no clean sheets. Dominik Szoboszlai returns from suspension. Joe Gomez and Wataru Endo remain sidelined with muscle and ankle issues, Mohamed Salah is away at the Africa Cup of Nations, and Alexander Isak and Giovanni Leoni are also unavailable through injury.
