Jeff Stelling predicts result of Leeds United clash v Liverpool
Jeff Stelling has backed Liverpool to easily get past Leeds United in their Premier League clash on Wednesday evening.
The popular Sky Sports host has predicted that it will finish 3-0 to the home side at Anfield in the rescheduled Boxing Day game.
Leeds are desperate for three points in the fight for survival, but Liverpool are now back in the race for the title.
Writing in his Sky Sports Super 6 predictions, Stelling doesn’t expect much for the Whites at Anfield tomorrow.
“Liverpool have won six Premier League games on the bounce after coming from behind to beat Norwich at Anfield on Saturday,” he wrote.
“They should be in line to make it seven against a Leeds side who have conceded 10 goals in their last three matches and are only second to Norwich in the goals against column, having let in their 50th in their defeat to Manchester Utd on Sunday.
“I expect a comfortable victory for Jurgen Klopp’s side in this one.”
Comfortable.
No one is expected Leeds to leave Merseyside with all three points tomorrow evening, and it is easy to see why.
One thing that Marcelo Bielsa guarantees, though, is the ability to bring the best out of his side when it is least expected.
No one would be massively surprised if Leeds did pull a rabbit out of the hat at Anfield, but our defensive issues are a big worry.
Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Luis Diaz will be licking their lips, and hopefully, we can somehow keep them quiet.
We have many things crossed that we can get something over on Liverpool tomorrow, but these are not the games that will decide relegation.
