Leeds is not worthy of the league title this season - they are fighting for survival. The team looks sad, and they are 16th in the table with 29 points ahead of the match. They are only two points ahead of the relegation zone and trailing above West Ham. All in all, things are not looking good for Javi Gracia's side. Moreover, they have suffered two crushing defeats in the previous three rounds. And if 1:4 from leading side Arsenal can be justified, then 1:5 against Crystal Palace in the last round is a shame. There was also a 2:1 win over Nottingham Forest in between those fixtures. But in 12 previous meetings, Leeds has only two victories.
Liverpool
Liverpool is feverish in the current campaign, as everyone knows. They have very little chance of breaking into the European competition as they currently sit in eighth place in the standings with 44 points, nine points behind the top five. They have a couple of games in hand, but they still need to get points from them. And the team has been struggling to do so of late. After a 0:1 defeat at the hands of modest Bournemouth, there was a Champions League exit at the hands of Real Madrid and then three meetings with the EPL giants, in which only two points were scored. It was 1:4 with Manchester City, 0:0 with Chelsea, and 2:2 with Arsenal. In general, Liverpool urgently needs to do something - at this rate, they risk being out of the top 10 altogether.

Expert Betting Tips
The upcoming meeting could be a turning point for Liverpool, and it should be. After many bad matches, it's time for Klopp to get his team on the right track. Leeds is a mediocre opponent, having been beaten 1:5 on home soil by Crystal Palace in the previous fixture and conceding plenty of goals. Needless to say, the Merseyside side has a significant advantage in the squad. In class, they must earn the long-awaited three points at Elland Road. And another defeat will make it clear that with this performance, Liverpool has no chance of making the top five. That should not be allowed, so we suggest betting on a clean win for the visitors. We could also look at a win with a total over goals.
