The Yorkshire giants kept a clean sheet in their hard-fought 0-0 draw against Liverpool at Anfield on New Year\u2019s Day, grabbing another precious Premier League point.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
The draw has now taken Daniel Farke\u2019s side to six games unbeaten in the Premier League and further boosted survival hopes.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Farke chose to rest several first-team regulars for the Liverpool fixture, as he looks to manage his squad during a three game week.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
The rotation meant that new boy James Justin made his second start of the campaign, while Sebastiaan Bornauw clocked his first.<\/p>\n

Both players joined Leeds United ahead of the season and former Whites shot-stopper Martyn was pleased with the performances they put in at Anfield.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
He stated that both players looked comfortable competing in the Premier League and in general, Leeds\u2019 new signings have adapted quicker than recruits at other clubs.<\/p>\n

\u201cFull credit to them.
