Liverpool held 0-0 by Leeds in Premier League. Man City visits Sunderland later‎

Liverpool labored to a 0-0 home draw with Leeds in the Premier League on Thursday, extending its unbeaten run to eight games but underwhelming again amid key absences up front. Arne Slot's team failed to create clear-cut chances at Anfield, lacking inspiration in attack with Alexander Isak injured and Mohamed Salah at the Africa Cup of Nations. Liverpool, the defending champion, stayed in fourth and was 12 points behind first-place Arsenal at the halfway point of the campaign.
