THE LOWDOWN
LIVERPOOL
- Liverpool made a winning start to Premier League action post World Cup break, beating Aston Villa 1-3 at Villa Park, their third consecutive top flight win since that 1-2 defeat at home to Leeds Utd.
- All the excitement regarding the Reds has come off the pitch this Christmas period with the announcement of Cody Gakpo’s signing, the PSV and Netherlands star joining Liverpool ahead of the January transfer window, although this match obviously comes too soon for him to play any part with it still being December
LEICESTER
- Leicester couldn’t have made a worse start against Newcastle last time out, conceding a goal in the opening few minutes via the penalty spot before ultimately falling to a 0-3 defeat and a repeat of such a poor defensive performance could see them severely punished at Anfield.
- James Maddison is set to see a specialist over a knee problem and won’t play in this match, whilst the Foxes’ backline remains extremely depleted with several defenders out through injury.

THE PREDICTION
When taking into account Leicester’s numerous defensive injuries, not to mention how fragile their backline looked against Newcastle, it’s hard not to see Liverpool being afforded plenty of joy in front of goal here with the offensive quality at their disposal. The Reds on their own patch will be expected to dominate throughout this encounter and should ultimately come out on top by at least two clear goals over the course of 90 minutes.
TIP: LIVERPOOL TO WIN WITH -1 HANDICAP
