In a tightly contested Premier League clash at Anfield, Liverpool were held to a frustrating 0-0 draw by Daniel Farke's resilient Leeds United side. The Reds dominated possession but struggled to break down a stubborn defense, extending Leeds' unbeaten run while denting Liverpool's title aspirations early in 2026.[2]
Match Overview
