On Monday night in the Premier League, we see 16th-placed Leeds take on 8th-placed Liverpool at Elland Road. Leeds will be looking to get the home win to improve their chance of Premier League football next season. On the other side of the coin, Liverpool need to get the away win to increase their chances of European football next season. Here we have a preview of the game along with stats to help you make up your bet builders and also a few betting tips for the game that may interest you.
Crucial Players
Liverpool have a world-class player in the form of Mohammed Salah. The Egyptian has had twenty goal contributions this season, scoring thirteen and assisting seven. In previous years, Salah has played a crucial part in this Liverpool team and their play style. Salah will be looking to finish the season strong and help Liverpool push for European football.
Liverpool also have English right-back, Trent Alexander Arnold. He is superb in an attacking sense but needs improvements on the defensive side of his game to be considered one of the best in the world. Although Trent and Liverpool are struggling this season, he has managed three Premier League assists. Last season, Trent registered twelve Premier League assists. He has proven that he can be a world-class player but is struggling to showcase his talents this season.
Leeds United’s key man this season has been Rodrigo Moreno. The Spaniard has scored a decent eleven goals this season. Rodrigo has just returned after having ankle surgery, which has seen him on the sidelines for two months. In the Summer of 2020, Rodrigo signed for Leeds for £27m from Spanish side Valencia.
Liverpool form
Recently, Liverpool have struggled to pick up results and are currently without a win in four. Liverpool are sitting 8th in the Premier League after getting a draw against title contenders Arsenal last time out. Liverpool are having defensive issues this season and have conceded thirty-five goals in thirty games. Compare that to last season, Liverpool only conceded twenty-six goals all season. Many fans also believe that after Van Dijks’s injury, he has struggled to get back to his brilliant best.

Crucial players
Arsenal’s key man this season is undoubtedly Bukayo Saka. The youngster has positively impacted Arsenal this season and contributed massively to their drastic improvement. Saka has twenty-two goal contributions this season in the Premier League, scoring twelve and assisting ten.
West Ham’s Premier League top goal scorer this season is Danny Ings. The Hammers signed Ings from Aston Villa in the January transfer window for £15m. Danny Ings has scored eight goals in the Premier League this season, but only two goals have come since he joined the Hammers. Ings will be looking to rekindle his form going into the last nine games of the season and will be looking to go through the remainder of the season with no more injury scares.
Newcastle's form under Eddie Howe
Since Eddie Howe arrived at the club in November 2021, Premier League fans have seen a drastic change in how Newcastle play. Eddie Howe took over when Newcastle were rock bottom of the Premier League, and he guided them to safety, finishing 11th in the league, 14 points above the relegation zone. Newcastle this season have impressed many people as no one would have expected them to be sitting in third and pushing for the Champions League places. Newcastle have won their last five Premier League games.
