Liverpool can claim top spot in the Premier League – for a few hours at least – when they kick off the Boxing Day Premier League TV schedule.

The Reds host Leeds at Anfield in the lunchtime kick-off and will be keen to exploit their defensive frailties.

Jurgen Klopp’s men had been rolling along in superb form before being held to a draw by Tottenham in a frantic affair last weekend.

Leeds have conceded 11 goals in their last two games with a lengthy injury list crippling their festive period of fixtures.

Marcelo Bielsa is beginning to come under scrutiny as he continues to persist with his famous brand of football despite Leeds crumbling in recent weeks.

Our prediction: Liverpool v Leeds

Liverpool will be gunning for a victory so they don’t allow City breathing room to get too far ahead in the title race.

Mohamed Salah was mostly kept at bay at the weekend, but he will have free rein to run at Leeds’ defence all afternoon here.

Leeds’ energetic style has caused Liverpool a few issues previously, but this time is different. Expect the Reds to run riot on home soil.

Our prediction: Liverpool 3-0 Leeds (15/2 at bet365)
