Liverpool Stumble into 2026 with Draw Against Leeds

Liverpool began 2026 with a disappointing result, drawing 0-0 with Leeds at Anfield, ending a three-game winning streak in the Premier League. Despite a better performance in the first half, the Reds failed to find the back of the net, with Ekiteke missing a crucial chance. The second half saw the team appear frustrated and sluggish, while Leeds remained dangerous on the counter-attack. A Leeds goal was disallowed for offside. Liverpool now sits in 4th place with 33 points, while Leeds is 16th with 21. In another match, Crystal Palace and Fulham drew 1-1. This result marks the first time since 1999 that the two teams have played to a scoreless draw.
