Liverpool 1 - 2 Leeds - Premier League Player Ratings
Alisson Becker - 5.0
Had to once again produced wonders, especially at 1-1. Was badly let down for Leeds' goal, and showed great character to keep his side in the first half. Was again busy with hands and feet in a rather frenetic second period. Maybe could have done better for the winning goal.
Trent Alexander-Arnold - 4.0
Was decisive in his delivery if not a touch nervous in defence through the opening stages. Looked dangerous in transition without much …
Liverpool v Leeds - The Premier League Preview
Saturday night will see two historical English sides collide, in what is certain to be an entertaining evening of football. I’ve just had a look at the TV listings (I don’t really watch TV), and if you’re looking to avoid the horrid choice of The Voice or Strictly Come Dancing, then a night under the Anfield lights might just be for you.
Both sides are currently way underperforming their pre-campaign expectations, with the reds sitting in 8th, as the Whites …

Sadio Mané gave Liverpool a first-half lead but a late headed goal from defender Diego Llorente …

Liverpool linked with a summer move for Leeds star
Leeds' Raphinha has lit the Premier League on fire since his move to Elland Road in October with Liverpool now rumoured to be interested in signing the exciting forward.
Raphinha is a left-footed attacker who plays mainly on the right side of the front line as an inverted winger, much like Mohamed Salah.
He signed for Leeds just last October having spent one year at Stades Rennais in France's Ligue 1. Raphinha has also played for Sporting Lisbon and Vitória …
Observations from Liverpool's win against Leeds United
Well, it wasn't pretty but after making eight changes, giving players a go in different positions and blooding a few youngsters it wasn't going to be, was it?
It was an intriguing watch but not if you're a fan of entertainment. It was once again up to Liverpool to be patient in possession and work hard to create chances against a well disciplined and defensively organised Leeds United.
Just like against Sunderland, Liverpool did eventually put away one of the …
Liverpool 2-0 Leeds United - Player Ratings
On a night when Leeds United and Garry Monk did their growing reputation no harm, Liverpool booked a spot in the semi-final with a 2-0 win. Divock Origi opened the scoring, poking in a stunning cross from Trent Alexander-Arnold, but the story of the night is undoubtedly Ben Woodburn becoming the club's youngest ever goalscorer, in only his second senior appearance.
Here's how the Reds fared in a potential banana-skin at Anfield.
Simon Mignolet - 6
He made a very …
God is a Red - Robbie Fowler | Strikers Week on AnfieldIndex!
"It doesn't matter what you do, we've got God on our side", a fairly common retort from a Liverpool fan in the mid to late nineties. No matter who you were bantering with, which one of your mates' sides LFC were facing that week - United, Arsenal, Spurs, Newcastle, even Sheffield Wednesday at the time - it wasn't important, because we had God, and He was gonna win it for us. And, more often than not, He did!
A shining …
