Leeds United vs Liverpool result predicted by supercomputer as final league position forecasted
Leeds United are straight back into the thick of it when they host Liverpool on Saturday.
Leeds secured all three points against Chelsea, with Jaka Bijol, Ao Tanaka and Dominic Calvert-Lewin all getting on the score sheet last time out.
Chelsea fans were left raging at the defeat, while the Whites will have already turned their focus to the clash with Liverpool this weekend.
The Reds dropped points again midweek, this time at the hands of Sunderland, with the Whites looking to inflict a similar outcome on Saturday.
Leeds underdogs once again for Liverpool clash
Arne Slot’s side have lost four of their seven away games so far this season, with two of their three wins coming against West Ham and Burnley.
If there is ever a time to face them, that is now, and Daniel Farke will be well aware of the golden chance that awaits Leeds this weekend.
The Whites will be full of confidence after coasting to victory against the Blues, where Leeds recorded more xG than any side Chelsea have faced this season.
However, Opta‘s supercomputer fails to take that confidence into account, with Liverpool favourites to win with a 55.8 per cent chance of victory.
Leeds have a 22.1 per cent chance of taking all three points, and if they can do that, they could move six points clear of the relegation zone.
Where are Leeds expected to finish this season?
Wolves, despite it being December, look almost dead and buried, having picked up just two points from 14 games.
That leaves two relegation spots, and Leeds are not expected to occupy one of them.
Opta have predicted the Whites to finish 17th on 37 points, with a 43.10 per cent chance of relegation from the Premier League.
West Ham are expected to finish just one point below the Elland Road outfit, with Burnley occupying the final relegation spot.
The Hammers have a 49.97 per cent chance of relegation, while Scott Parker’s side have a 76.67 per cent likelihood of an immediate return to the Championship.
