Farke admits it would be easy to 'fear the worst' ahead of Leeds United’s trip to Liverpool, believing the Reds have put themselves back in the title-race since the 3-3 draw between the two sides at Elland Road at the start of December.Arne Slot’s side currently sit fourth in the Premier League table and have put together a seven-game unbeaten run in all competitions.

While they trail league-leaders Arsenal by 12 points, having played a game less, they can close the gap on third-placed Aston Villa to four points with a win over Leeds on New Year’s Day.

A victory would also see them move five points clear of Chelsea and Manchester United, who currently sit fifth and sixth in the table respectively, after the pair both dropped points on Tuesday night.
