Leicester City vs Liverpool Preview and Team News

Leicester City Team News

Leicester City, who’ve been among the poorest sides in the Premier League this season, will feel the onslaught of a heavy challenge when they host Liverpool on Sunday. 

Leicester City, who hired former Manchester United and Real Madrid striker Ruud van Nistelrooy as manager to save their doomed season. They seemed all set to get relegated to the Championship, from where they had made their way to the Premier League earlier this season.

The hosts have been extremely poor at the back. They’ve leaked 70 goals this term and are now ranked 19th in the league table. 

Only Southampton have conceded more balls than Leicester, not a statistic they’ll be proud of. The former have already been relegated this season, and the latter seem set to join them.

Veteran striker Jamie Vardy has been far from his best, but will have to step up to the plate if Leicester are to force Liverpool onto the back foot this weekend.

Van Nistelrooy has a long list of injuries to contend with. Harry Souttar, Harry Winks, Abdul Fatawu, and Odsonne Edouard are all unlikely to be available for selection.

Liverpool Team News

Liverpool, who are all but sure to lift the Premier League title by the end of the season, will want to make certain there are no setbacks along the way. They’ll also be keen on fine-tuning some changes in their squad so their attackers don’t lose the ball too often in the final third. 

Leicester boast one of the worst defensive records in the PL this term. Liverpool’s Rival attackers, led by the likes of Mohamed Salah, Cody Gakpo, and Luis Diaz, will be licking their lips in anticipation of what’s to come.

Salah, in particular, is in a happy state of mind as he’s the leading goal-scorer of the league and has signed a new contract extension at Liverpool after months of indecision.

However, the visitors take Leicester lightly at their own peril. The latter are playing in familiar conditions and can quickly turn things around if they find enough rallying from fans. 

Joe Gomez, Trent Alexander-Arnold, and Tyler Morton are among the notable absentees in this game for Liverpool.

They’ve been in red-hot form throughout this Premier League campaign, and will want to wrap up proceedings as soon as possible to get their hands on the title. 

Liverpool have beaten Leicester in 16 out of the 24 matches recorded between these two teams in the past, out of which the hosts have only won five and drawn the rest.

Leicester City vs Liverpool Prediction, Betting Tip

• Pick: Total over 2.5 goals
• Odds: 1.46 (22Bet)

Leicester have been extremely poor at home during this campaign. They have now lost eight consecutive games at the King Power Stadium without getting onto the scoresheet.  Given the dynamic nature of Liverpool’s defending, it seems highly unlikely that that will change this weekend. 

Visiting attackers will feast on the lapses made by Leicester’s defenders and make sure they get punished for each and every mistake committed. 

It won’t be easy for Leicester to come to terms with Liverpool’s high-intensity pressing tactics off the ball. One can predict an overall massacre for them at the hands of the Premier League champions-elect. 

We anticipate a total of over 2.5 goals on Sunday, with Liverpool leading the way.
