Liverpool 0-0 Leeds: What Farke said

Leeds manager Daniel Farke, speaking to BBC MOTD: "It doesn't come along that often that you get a clean sheet and a point at Anfield. We had to defend and suffer but we are newly promoted and came to the defending champions.

"There's always a special atmosphere on New Year's Day and you could feel that from the crowd but we performed well.

"The lads defended well and didn't allow clear cut chances. It's always important to be rock-solid against the ball and keep a clean sheet."

On Calvert-Lewin starting on the bench: "Sometimes the head has to win over the heart. We had four Premier League fixtures in 10 days and I have to trust my whole squad.

"We know what happened to Dominic in the last few years with injuries. Overall it was a sign of how much I trust the group."

On facing Manchester United next: "It will be tricky because we played late today and now we play early on Sunday.

"We will be without Ethan Ampadu after his yellow card today but we need to find solutions. We need to recover quickly."
