Leeds news

Ruben Amorim had a tetchy exchange with a reporter as he refused to explain why he is veering from the 3-4-3 formation he wanted to build his Manchester United side around. The Portuguese was asked three times during Friday's press conference before facing Leeds what he had meant with previous comments about his change of heart. But each time he shied away from giving an answer.

Liverpool boss Arne Slot channeled former Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou as he insisted that his Reds team remain "who we are" after their disappointing goalless draw with Leeds United, as he rallied against poor refereeing decisions, and pointed to a number of examples in which his players "stayed on their feet".

Liverpool extended their unbeaten run in the Premier League to seven games on New Year's Day but Arne Slot's ragged Reds continued to flatter to deceive in a drab 0-0 draw with Leeds United at Anfield.

Gary Lineker believes that struggling Arsenal striker Viktor Gyokeres needs to take a leaf out of in-form Leeds United striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin's book. The Gunners hoped the Sweden international would be the final piece of the jigsaw in their bid to end their decades-long Premier League title drought. But as the former Sporting CP star underwhelms, ex-England international Lineker has pinpointed a way the forward can improve in front of goal.

Leeds United forward Dominic Calvert-Lewin completed an impressive Premier League feat that even England captain Harry Kane could not achieve during his time with Tottenham Hotspur, as the English forward scored the all-important equaliser in their 1-1 draw against Sunderland on Sunday.
