Liverpool seeks to finally end their unfortunate run across all competitions when they lock horns with Leeds United. Liverpool are now going on six games without a win if they cannot convert their misfortunes in this match. Leeds on the other hand is no better as they were also winless in their last match. Just like Liverpool, they are hoping to finally score a win in this match to improve their place in the league table. While Liverpool is coming from a 2-2 draw against Arsenal, Leeds were thrashed by Crystal Palace in a 5-1 loss. Leeds will host Liverpool in this match on April 18, 2023, at 3:00 AM (GMT+8).
Despite their unfortunate run, the visitors can gain confidence from the fact that they have a better record in their meetings with the hosts. These two teams played for 122 matches across all competitions where the visitors won 62. The hosts on the other hand only recorded 29 wins, while the remaining 31 matches all ended in draw. Earlier this season, it was the hosts who took home the win, and are aiming for the same result in this match. If it happens, it will be their first double in the league against the visitors since the 2000-01 season. The visitors on the other hand are not doing well on the road against the hosts. A record they want to put a stop as they seek a win in this match.
Liverpool
Liverpool are currently at the eighth place in the league table, with 44 points across their names. However, even if they win in this match, they could only retain their place, as they are still five points away from the seventh. Their current place is not surprising though, as they failed to be at their best this season. On their last match, they are actually still fortunate that they were able to hold Arsenal in a 2-2 draw. Their inconsistency have been their number one problem this season, and this is what needs to be addressed. As they are currently in a five-game winless run, they need someone to step-up for them so they could end this unfortunate run. This is not impossible though as they are a team who have several guys who could step up for them.
Alisson Becker, and Ibrahima Konate, who both missed several trainings this week is expected to be available in this match. Luis Diaz, who is a long-term absentee for Liverpool is also expected to return in this match. However, Stefan Bajcetics, Naby Keita, and Calbin Ramsay all remains to be in the treatment room.
Leeds United
Leeds on the other hand currently sits at the 16th if the league table with just 29 points across their names. However, a win in this match could bring them at the 15th with an additional three points, with 32 points in total. Leeds have been struggling this season, which puts them just above the relegation zone. In this game, they are hopeful for a win as they are also fighting for their survival this season. On their last match, they experienced a devastating 5-1 loss against Crystal Palace. This is huge for them as they are on the process of keeping themselves away from the drop zone. Due to this, they need to work harder in order to win this match and their future matches.
Stuart Dallas and Tyler Adams are still unavailable in this game, due to their thigh injuries. Maximilian Wober on the other hand have already trained this week, but will still need to be assessed for availability.

Liverpool (3.0)
