Hugo Ekitike missed an open goal as Liverpool and Leeds started 2026 with the first goalless draw of Arne Slot's tenure at Anfeld.
Jeremie Frimpong's left-footed strike in the first half was met by Ekitike, who bizarrely ended up heading the ball in the opposite direction when all he had to do was guide it into an open goal.
Frimpong had put plenty of power on his shot but, from a yard out, it was harder to miss than score.
The point extended Liverpool's unbeaten run to eight games and moved them three points clear of Chelsea, who are fifth, but this was another largely uninspiring display from Slot's side.
