Leicester City vs Liverpool Preview
Liverpool are in second place in the Premier League standings and have been impressive under Jurgen Klopp this season. The Merseyside giants are six points behind league-leaders Manchester City and cannot afford to slip up in this fixture.
Leicester City, on the other hand, are in 10th place in the league table at the moment and have struggled to hit their stride this year. The Foxes crashed out of the Carabao Cup after a defeat against a second-string Liverpool side last week and have a point to prove in this game.

Leicester City vs Liverpool Prediction
Liverpool have excelled in the Premier League under Jurgen Klopp but have had their problems in recent weeks. With the likes of Salah and Mane leaving to participate in AFCON next month, the Merseyside outfit will have to make the most of its formidable squad this week.
Leicester City have had their Premier League campaign dismantled by a series of shocking defensive performances this season. Liverpool are the better team at the moment and hold the upper hand going into this game.
