Liverpool vs Leeds prediction: How will Premier League fixture tonight play out tonight?

Liverpool will cut Manchester City’s lead at the top of the Premier League table to just three points if they can beat Leeds United at Anfield this evening.

The Reds were as many as 12 points behind Pep Guardiola’s defending champions when City won 4-0 at Norwich less than two weeks ago, but Tottenham’s win at the Etihad on Saturday has opened up the title race once more.

Liverpool are on a run of eight wins in a row in all competitions and tonight’s match against Leeds is their game in hand to City, after this fixture was postponed before Christmas due to Covid-19 cases in the Leeds squad.

Jurgen Klopp’s side defeated Norwich on Saturday to maintain their chase, while Leeds were beaten 4-2 by Manchester United to slip closer to the Premier League’s bottom three.

Here’s everything you need to know before the game tonight.

When is Liverpool vs Leeds?

The match will kick off at 7:45pmGMT on Wednesday 23 February.

How can I watch it?

The match is not available to watch on TV in the UK. This is due to Champions League fixtures also taking place this evening.

What is the team news?

With the Carabao Cup final against Chelsea to come on Sunday, Jurgen Klopp is likely to make changes to his team. Roberto Firmino and Diogo Jota remain injury doubts so are expected to miss out, while Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andy Robertson could return after being rested against Norwich.

Robin Koch is unavailable for Leeds as he follows return-to-play concussion protocols after suffering a head injury against Manchester United. He joins a lengthy injury list that also includes Kalvin Phillips, Patrick Bamford and Liam Cooper. Raphinha should return to the starting line-up.
