Hugo Ekitike missed an open goal as Liverpool and Leeds started 2026 with the first goalless draw of Arne Slot's tenure at Anfeld. Jeremie Frimpong's left-footed strike in the first half was met by Ekitike, who bizarrely ended up heading the ball in the opposite direction when all he had to do was guide it into an open goal.

Everything you need to know - predictions, expected lineups and how to watch - as Liverpool welcome Leeds to Anfield in the Premier League.

The Reds come into this match in good form, having won their last three Premier League games. Their most recent result was a 2-1 victory at home against Wolves. Liverpool have also scored at least two goals in their last four Premier League matches ...

Adam: Pedestrian and flat. It seems now that this is the way Arne Slot wants them to play by 'sensibly' trying to wear the opposition down. It's not our way. We attack with energy and urgency. Most of all, we entertain. This isn't happening under Slot and I can't see it changing.
