Liverpool vs Leicester City Prediction

Liverpool are currently sixth in the league, five points behind fourth-placed Tottenham Hotspur, who have played one more game. They have won their last three league games, and while the league title might possibly be gone, Liverpool remain firm contenders to finish in the Champions League spots again.

Despite heavy links to Manchester United, Dutch attacker Cody Gakpo will join Liverpool from PSV Eindhoven. Gakpo's arrival has been met by surprise, given Liverpool's problematic midfield situation.

Meanwhile, Uruguayan striker Darwin Nunez continues to attract attention for his unique playing style, although seven goal contributions in eight league starts can certainly be categorized as an excellent start to life at his new club.

Cody Gakpo is currently on Merseyside for main part ofmedical tests ahead of signing for Liverpool, plan confirmed. Deal will be completed soon. 🚨🔴🩺 #LFC

Gakpo’s contract will be valid until June 2028, as expected. Done and sealed. https://t.co/6nFYyZclqa

Leicester City, on the other hand, are 13th in the league and have won three of their last five league games. After a very poor start to the campaign, which saw manager Brendan Rodgers regularly fielding questions about his future at the club, the Foxes managed to find some semblance of stability before the World Cup break.

It will be interesting to see how the club handles the future of James Maddison. Maddison's quality has often been the difference-maker for Leicester City this season, and the 26-year-old was linked with a move to Newcastle United last summer. It has been suggested that the St James' Park outfit could try to sign him this January.

Liverpool will be the favorites to win.
