Leicester vs Liverpool Prediction & Betting tips
A new round of play in the Premier League starts on Saturday afternoon in East Midlands. Leicester City will then take on Liverpool in the King Power Stadium. The home team has collected three points more than Liverpool and is certainly not without a chance if the national champion is a guest.
Leicester City:
Leicester City is in third place in the Premier League. The Foxes have already collected 43 points, which is quite a number. Just like last season, Leicester City is now fighting for Champions League qualification again. Last season, Brendan Rodgers’ team missed qualification for the billion dollar ball during the last round of play. This season, Leicester City hopes to qualify for the Champions League. It will not be easy, but Leicester does have the material to compete for a Champions League ticket.
The only question in the coming weeks is how Leicester City will cope with the busy schedule. In addition to the Premier League, Leicester is also active in the Europa League and the FA Cup. In the FA Cup, Leicester City recorded a 1-0 win over Brighton & Hove Albion on Wednesday evening. Kelechi Iheanacho scored the only goal of the match against Brighton in the final phase. Manchester United are Leicester’s opponent in the next round of the cup tournament. During the duel with Brighton, Rodgers rotated a little bit at Leicester, but against Liverpool he will start again with his strongest line-up.
Liverpool:
Title prolongation seems an illusion for Liverpool. Jürgen Klopp’s team has been ten points behind Manchester City since last weekend. Moreover, the current leader of the Premier League has also played one game less than Liverpool. It is for Liverpool, that the backlog is also partly due to the many injuries within the selection, it is important to now at least finish as high as possible in the Premier League. Liverpool is also still active in the Champions League. On Tuesday evening it will play an away match at RB Leipzig in that tournament. That game will be played in Budapest, due to the travel restrictions that apply in Germany. For example, Klopp could not be at his mother’s funeral this week due to the entry ban.
Last weekend, the German manager saw Liverpool get a beating at home from Manchester City. They lost 1-4 at Anfield. Unlike a few months ago, Anfield is no longer an impregnable fortress. The fact that Liverpool lost no chance against Manchester City in the previous round was due to Alisson Becker. The Brazilian line defender made two glaring mistakes. Of course, this has no consequences for the Brazilian: second goalkeeper Adrián is so bad that Alisson is allowed to make a hundred mistakes before he has to fear for his starting place. Just like in recent weeks, Liverpool must also miss a lot of players against Leicester City. Schalke 04 mercenary Ozan Kabak can make his debut for The Reds at the King Power Stadium. This ensures that captain Jordan Henderson can be moved back to midfield.
