Leicester Preview: Awful Foxes

Leicester City ended a run of form whereby they hadn’t scored since January by earning themselves a surprise 2-2 draw against European chasing Brighton and Hove Albion at the AMEX Stadium down on the south coast last weekend.

The Foxes went behind to a 31st minute penalty scored by Joao Pedro before they then equalised a few minutes later via Stephy Mavididi. Another Joao Pedro penalty put them behind again but they earned a point in the 74th minute via Caleb Okoli.

Liverpool Preview: Winning it with ease

Liverpool have endured a difficult month or so with UEFA Champions League elimination, an EFL Cup final defeat, rumours surrounding the exit of Trent Alexander-Arnold and some average form in the Premier League but the Reds can still clinch their 20th English title this weekend.

They put in another lacklustre performance against struggling West Ham United at Anfield last weekend with Luis Diaz opening the scoring in the first-half before a mix up between Virgil van Dijk and Andrew Robertson produced an equaliser but the former then won the game late on.

Leicester Team News: Buonanotte returns

Leicester City will be able to welcome back Brighton and Hove Albion loanee Facundo Buonanotte back into the squad after he missed last weekend due to being ineligible to play against his parent club. Both Wout Faes and Jeremy Monga have returned to full training and are back in contention.

Predicted XI (4-2-3-1): Hermansen; Justin, Okoli, Coady, Thomas; Ndidi, Soumare; McAteer, El Khannouss, Mavididi; Vardy

Unavailable: Fatawu (Fitness)

Questionable: Winks (Out of favour)

Liverpool Team News: Still no Alexander-Arnold

In his pre-match press conference, Arne Slot has said that Trent Alexander-Arnold is 'not ready' to start for Liverpool just yet having returned to training this weekend but he could be in the squad. His fellow England international Joe Gomez remains unavailable for the Reds, whilst Darwin Nunez is also a doubt.

Predicted XI (4-2-3-1): Alisson; Bradley, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Mac Allister, Gravenberch; Salah, Szoboszlai, Diaz; Jota

Unavailable: Gomez (Injured)

Questionable: Alexander-Arnold (Injured), Nunez (Injured)

Leicester vs Liverpool Prediction

Leicester City finally got themselves a goal, and two of them, as well as a point last weekend but they remain arguably the worst team in the league because, frankly, league tables do often lie despite what many will say. Liverpool, though, have been the most consistent and competent team this season and if Ipswich defeat Arsenal before this game then the Reds will be crowned champions. Regardless of the permutations, a comfortable Liverpool will be expected to win this one quite comfortably.
