Liverpool ran out 3-0 winners at Elland Road in earlier this season. Mohammed Salah bagged his one hundredth Premier League to open the scoring for the Reds before Fabinho doubled Liverpool's lead in the second half. With half an hour to play, Pascal Struijk was dismissed for a challenge on Harvey Elliott which saw the teenager stretchered off with a dislocated ankle, before Sadio Mané made it three for Liverpool in injury-time to seal a convincing victory for the visitors.

On their last visit to Anfield, Leeds came closer to snatching something, marking their return to the Premier League after 16 years' exile with a thrilling 4-3 defeat to Liverpool on the opening day of the 2020/2021 season.

With Leeds pegging Liverpool back after the hosts took the lead three times, the score was 3-3 as the teams headed into the final ten minutes. In the 88th minute, substitute Rodrigo fouled Fabinho inside the box on his Premier League debut and Salah converted the spot-kick to complete his hat-trick and claim all three points for his team.

Throughout the clubs' history, Leeds have lost to Liverpool 61 times over 120 encounters.

How are Liverpool doing?

Liverpool are second in the Premier League after 18 games.

The Reds were going toe-to-toe with table-topping Manchester City until Tottenham Hotspur held Liverpool to a 2-2 draw at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday.

Liverpool came from behind to lead 2-1 in London, before Son Heung-Min equalised for Spurs with 15 minutes left to play. The Reds were further hampered as goalscorer Andy Robertson was dismissed for a reckless challenge on Emerson Royal and the game ended honours even.
