Liverpool take on Leeds United in this New Year’s Day clash in the Premier League at Anfield.
Arne Slot’s side defeated bottom-of-the-table Wolves on Saturday for their third consecutive Premier League win, with Florian Wirtz scoring his first goal for the Reds.
Leeds earned a good point away at high-flying Sunderland, with Dominic Calvert-Lewin continuing his impressive scoring streak. The striker has now scored seven goals in his last six Premier League appearances.
The last time these two met was only at the start of December, when Leeds scored a stoppage-time equaliser to draw 3-3 against Liverpool, who spurned a 2-0 and 3-2 lead.
The Premier League meeting between Liverpool and Leeds kicks off at 5:30pm on Thursday 1 January at Anfield.
Viewers in the UK will be able to watch the match live on Sky Sports Main Event, with coverage starting at 5pm. It will also be available to stream on Sky Go.

Cody Gakpo returned off the bench in the win against Wolves and will be pushing to start, potentially ahead of Federico Chiesa, while Dominik Szoboszlai will be available again, having missed the Wolves clash through suspension. Mohamed Salah remains away on AFCON duty with Egypt, while this match could come too soon for Wataru Endo and Joe Gomez. Alexander Isak is a long-term absentee.
Leeds will be without defender Joe Rodon, midfielder Sean Longstaff and attacker Daniel James, who all have injuries set to keep them out until mid-January at the earliest.
