Liverpool Predicted Lineup vs Leeds for December 6

Liverpool travel to Elland Road knowing the pressure hasn’t eased. The draw with Sunderland in midweek felt like a step backwards after momentum had finally begun to build. A frustrating performance, chances wasted, and the old defensive jitters returning left Liverpool looking unsettled again. Now they head to Leeds, a ground that never offers calm, needing a performance that shows control, conviction and resilience. Here is our Liverpool predicted lineup.

Liverpool Predicted Lineup vs Leeds United

How Liverpool Have Lined Up Recently

Liverpool’s season continues to swing between brief flashes of progress and long spells of inconsistency. The draw with Sunderland was another reminder that this team still struggles to put together complete, controlled 90-minute performances. Leeds’ intensity, aggression and home support will test every weakness Liverpool have shown in recent weeks. Slot needs authority, discipline and sharper attacking execution if the Reds are to take anything from Elland Road.

Liverpool have alternated primarily between a 4-3-3 and a 4-2-3-1 shape, shifting depending on opposition pressure and available personnel. In possession, Slot often builds with a double pivot while the advanced midfielder steps forward to create a box midfield.

The biggest tactical disruption has been at right back. With Conor Bradley and Jeremie Frimpong both sidelined, Slot has spent several games experimenting in that role. Dominik Szoboszlai was used there as an aggressive, progressive option, helping Liverpool advance the ball, but the defensive exposure in transition quickly became an issue.

Recently, Slot appears to have settled on Joe Gomez at right back. Gomez offers stability, recovery pace and defensive reliability, which has helped restore balance to a back line that has struggled for confidence. His presence there has given Liverpool a more natural defensive shape while allowing midfield roles to remain consistent.

Recent Form

Liverpool’s recent form remains uneven. A strong win at West Ham briefly lifted the mood, but the midweek draw with Sunderland felt flat and wasteful. The team still struggles for control, and the defensive lapses that defined their poor spell earlier in the month continue to resurface. Leeds will sense vulnerability, and Liverpool cannot afford another sluggish, reactive performance.

Team News & Injuries to Consider

Liverpool’s injury picture remains broadly unchanged;

Conor Bradley is still unavailable with a muscle injury.
