Arne Slot’s side thought they were back on course after their 2-0 victory at West Ham last week, but a dire performance and a 1-1 draw with Sunderland on Wednesday showed that there are still issues to sort out.
They sit eighth in the table, and have won just four games in their last 14.
Daniel Farke’s side had been four matches without tasting victory before then, but they played out of their skins to defeat the world champions 3-1 at Elland Road.
They will be confident coming up against a Liverpool side that blows hot and cold, eyeing three points that would haul them further clear of the relegation zone.

Leeds vs Liverpool team news
Farke will miss Daniel James and Sean Longstaff for this game, with both sidelined until the new year.
James, the former Manchester United winger, is out with a hamstring injury, while Longstaff, a summer recruit from Newcastle, is recovering from a calf niggle.
Joe Gomez filled in against West Ham and Sunderland, but was replaced by Curtis Jones in midweek.
Dominik Szoboszlai has also filled in in that position, with Jeremie Frimpong also sidelined with another hamstring problem.
The big talking point is whether Mohamed Salah will start after being named on the bench once more against Sunderland, having not featured at all at the London Stadium.
Leeds vs Liverpool prediction
Leeds really upset the apple-cart with their stunning win over Chelsea, and that will alarm some Liverpool supporters.
The Reds need a performance like the one they put in in east London – not at Anfield – in order to take three points here, but they know that they will be in for a high-octane affair.
