Leicester vs Liverpool Preview

Leicester would be looking to exact a measure of revenge after they lost the reverse fixture 1-2 to Jurgen Klopp’s men. Brendan Rodgers’ men are hurtling along at a better pace than their title winning campaign four years ago and have been denied more plaudits by Liverpool’s incredible show of relentlessness.

With 11 points between Leicester and fifth placed Shefield United, it will take a drastic dip in form for The Foxes to fail to return to the Champions League.

Leicester vs Liverpool Team News

Club world cup winners and World Champions, Liverpool, return to EPL action having officially earned the title of the best team in the world, following Saturday’s Club World Cup final win over Flamengo.

Liverpool have passed every test thrown at them this season in flying colors and the challenge for the team is to win the Premier League title. With just 2 points dropped in the 17 league games they’ve played this season, Liverpool are steamrolling towards the title.

Provided Jurgen Klopp’s men maintain their current form to the end of the season, they are projected to reach a tally of 110 points, which would shatter the existing record. This is where things start getting tough though. Liverpool’s next six matches are against teams currently in the top 8 of the league table and with Leicester and Man City hot on their heels, we’re set for an intriguing second half of the season.

Leicester’s excellent home record coupled with Liverpool’s sheer will and determination to finally lay their hands on the EPL trophy after a 30-year drought means an exciting game is on the cards.

Last time out, Leicester fell to a disappointing 3-1 defeat to fellow title chasers, Man City. The Foxes went one up through Jamie Vardy’s strike, his 17^th of the season, but the citizens, inspired by an in-form Kevin De Bruyne rallied. Goals from Riyadh Mahrez, Gabriel Jesus and an Illkay Gundogan penalty ensured Man City took all three points on the day.

This defeat, the third of the season, effectively ended Leicester’s 9-game unbeaten run and it saw Man City move ahead of them on the log to 2^nd.

Meanwhile, Liverpool will be making the trip to the King Power Stadium following their Club World Cup success. Their matched, against West Ham which was scheduled to hold last game week had to be postponed due to their continental engagements.

It is worth noting that Liverpool are currently unbeaten in the league and have dropped just two points all season. This would be a tough order for Leicester City.

Leicester vs Liverpool Predictions

Leicester have a perfect home record so far, as they are yet to stumble at home. Liverpool, on the other hand have failed to pick up maximum points away from home on just one occasion, their 1-1 draw away at Man United.

Goals will be aplenty as both sides seem to have little problem finding the back of the net. Forwards Jamie Vardy, Mo Salah and Sadio Mane are all having the time of their life at the moment, as such, you can be sure neither side will make it out of the ninety minutes with a clean sheet. This is a tough one to call, but my money would be on Leicester City edging this.
