Overview
- Liverpool dominated the ball at Anfield but were kept at bay in a goalless draw, registering few clear openings against a compact Leeds side.
- Arne Slot revealed Florian Wirtz trained only once during the week due to a hamstring issue and was withdrawn after 66 minutes as a precaution.
- Hugo Ekitike headed the best chance off target and later stayed on his feet under contact, with Slot noting it would probably have been a penalty if he had gone down while insisting he will not encourage such actions.
- With Mohamed Salah away and Alexander Isak injured, Slot pointed to limited attacking options and a youthful bench that included several teenagers.
- The result keeps Liverpool fourth and extends their recent unbeaten run; Leeds are now six unbeaten and seven points clear of the drop, as Liverpool recorded their first 0-0 under Slot and first league stalemate since 2023.
