The first assignment of 2026 for reigning Premier League champions Liverpool is a home game against Leeds United on New Year’s Day. Remarkably, it’s just 26 days since these two teams produced one of the games of the season, a thrilling 3-3 draw at Elland Road, in addition to an explosive post-match interview from Mohamed Salah.
That was the last time Arne Slot's side dropped points as wins over Brighton, Tottenham and Wolves have followed since to revive hopes of a strong end to the season and a top four finish. The Reds can close the gap on third-placed Aston Villa with victory at Anfield and are boosted by the return of Dominik Szoboszlai after suspension.
