Mané sends the lively Díaz left to the baseline. The flat cross into the backcourt ends up in the back of Robertson. But because the Whites defense is too far away, he still has enough time to save the ball, turn and shoot from eleven meters. But the ball comes too centrally to Meslier, who grabs it safely.

Out of nowhere, the ball wriggles in the net in the Reds goal, but the linesman immediately raises the flag: James, who would not have been offside, narrowly misses the ball from five meters when Klich passes it to the centre. Raphinha, who is behind, only has to push the ball over the line, but is clearly offside.

Salah is stopped rustically in the Whites’ penalty area, but there is no foul whistle, which allows the visitors to attack through the centre. However, the midfield line is the end of the line due to a perfect tackle by van Dijk.

Leeds dared to go forward and promptly lost the ball in the most unfavorable position possible. Luis Díaz immediately countered with a pass from deep down, who completely overran Luke Ayling in a running duel. Six meters to the left of the goal, he then wants to sink the ball past Illan Meslier in the far corner. However, the angle is acute, allowing the Peacocks keeper to parry.

The converted penalty turns out to be more and more of a clear hit. Virtually nothing comes from the Whites, while Liverpool don’t act with the greatest pace but still have a clear pull towards the goal. Mané sends Robertson into the box with a strong pass. However, the pass is a bit too sharp and ends up in goal.

Junior Firpo (Leeds United) is shown a yellow card.
Fabinho starts on the right wing and Firpo runs from the side into a tackle that has little to do with the ball. Clear yellow card for the former Barca player.

Tooor for Liverpool FC, 1-0 by Mo Salah
Salah, who has already missed two penalties this season, takes responsibility. Cool and confident, he looks at Meslier and sinks the ball crisply in the lower right corner when the Leeds keeper jumps to the left. It is the 18th goal in league play for the Reds’ Egyptian scoring machine.

Penalty for Liverpool! Fabinho serves Díaz, Robertson runs behind and crosses, but Dallas has his arm up and blocks the ball with it. The referee immediately points to the point.

After a corner from the right, van Dijk looks for a teammate at the second post with a header across the center, but heads the ball to the Whites, who immediately start to counterattack. However, the LFC protection can stop the advance before the midfield line.

The Scousers let the ball run through their own ranks, build up more security and include Alisson twice with more back passes.

What is Alisson doing there? The LFC keeper almost owes an early goal. He has a lot of time and space after a back pass, but puts the ball far too far forward when receiving the ball. James runs, but the keeper manages to slide aside at the very last second, where Matip then helps. Meager!

The Klopp team’s next attack: Mané wins the ball and sends Díaz, who hits two hooks in the penalty area, leaves Ayling and can pull away from 13 meters with the right. However, he unhappily shoots at Mané as he launches into the interface. The rebound rushes past the Peacocks goal to the left. Kick off Leeds.

Struijk threw a wonderful diagonal ball from behind at Harrison, who was chased by Firpo, but then unluckily lost the ball, prompting a Reds attack. In the end, however, Díaz only fired a harmless shot from 22 meters at the guest goal, where Meslier safely buried the leather under himself.

The ball rolls on Anfield Road. The Reds dress all in red and the Whites are nicknamed all dressed in white. Here we go.
20:19
There have already been a total of 120 meetings between the two teams and with 61 wins Liverpool clearly leads the direct comparison (31 draws, 28 defeats). The Reds are currently unbeaten in eleven meetings with Leeds United (eight wins, three draws) and also celebrated a 3-0 away win at the Whites in the first leg. Meanwhile, the last home defeat against the Peacocks dates back to April 13, 2001.
20:11
On Sunday, the Whites lost 4-2 at home to Manchester United, who are not only arch-rivals Liverpool, but also Leeds. Accordingly, today’s catch-up game is also about making amends. Coach Marcelo Bielsa basically sticks to the tried and tested and only changes to two positions: Firpo and Raphinha replace Koch (head injury) and Llorente, who surprisingly is not in the squad, in the starting XI.
20:04
Leeds United have only won five of the 24 league games played, but are still above the line with eight draws. Table-15 has a five-point lead. to the first relegation zone, which puts the Whites under only limited pressure at Anfield. However, things haven’t been going too well lately. Marcelo Bielsa’s side have been waiting for another treble for four league games and have picked up just one of a possible 12 points. In total, the Peacocks have already conceded 50 goals – the second worst figure in the entire Premier League.
19:58
The Scousers recently confirmed their strong form at the weekend in a 3-1 home win over Norwich City. Compared to this game, Jürgen Klopp rotates hard in view of the full schedule and changes his starting line-up to five positions: Fabinho, Thiago, Alexander-Arnold, Jones and Robertson start today for Keïta, Tsimikas, Henderson, Oxlade-Chamberlain ( all four banks) and Gomez, who played through for the first time this season in the Premier League on Saturday, but is not in the squad again today.
19:52
The Reds are currently Manchester City’s only relevant pursuers in the Premier League. Should Jürgen Klopp’s selection succeed in a home win over Leeds United today, LFC would be within three points of Sky Blues again. The 19-time national champion goes into the game with a lot of momentum. Liverpool have won all of their last eight competitive games in a row and are also unbeaten in twelve Premier League games at their home Anfield Road (nine wins, three draws).

Good evening and welcome from Anfield. Liverpool FC host Leeds United here today at 20:45 in the Premier League match day 19 catch-up game.
