Liverpool vs Leicester Prediction & Betting tips
The Premier League match between Liverpool and Leicester City is scheduled at Anfield on Sunday evening. The difference in the ranking between these two teams is one point in favor of the away team. Can Leicester City put the current national champion at a further disadvantage?
Liverpool:
National champions Liverpool has seventeen points after eight games. Compared to last season, The Reds cannot be very satisfied with that. Fortunately, many other teams have also lost points and therefore Liverpool is still at the top of the Premier League. Jürgen Klopp’s team has already dropped points three times in a competition context and that is a bit much. All that point loss, on the other hand, can also be explained: the differences in the Premier League are minimal this season. This is also evident from the fact that clubs such as Leicester City, Southampton and Aston Villa are currently performing so well in the top English division.
For Liverpool’s last point loss, we only have to go back two weeks. In the final round for the international matches, Liverpool took on Manchester City in the Etihad Stadium. That game ended in a draw. In Manchester, Liverpool took the lead early by a utilized penalty kick from Mohamed Salah, but after just over half an hour Manchester City made the equalizer. The home team missed a penalty kick before half-time and no more runs were scored in the second half; with a 1-1 final score as a result. Many Liverpool players have been out with the national team for the past two weeks and unfortunately for Klopp, a number of them did not come back fit. For example, Joe Gomez and Jordan Henderson were injured, while Salah walked up corona to a visit to his brother’s wedding. Virgil van Dijk is also injured at Liverpool and it will be puzzling for Klopp.
Leicester City:
Leicester City was already a team to be reckoned with last season and it is now. Of course, the Premier League is only eight rounds on the way, but the fact that Leicester City was at the top prior to this round is an indication. Brendan Rodgers has it all going well for the 2016 national champions. A new Premier League title is probably not in the cards for Leicester, but The Foxes can still be very successful. Champions League qualification would already be a nice reward for Leicester City. Certainly because The Foxes missed access to the billion-dollar ball last season in the last round of play due to a defeat against Manchester United.
The last six games Leicester City played in the previous block were all won by The Foxes. In the Europa League, Leicester City has been too strong for Zorya Lugansk (3-0) and AEK Athens (1-2) in recent weeks. In addition, the third group match with Sporting Braga (4-0) was also convincingly won by the Rodgers team. In the Premier League, Leicester took the full advantage in the duels with Arsenal (0-1) Leeds United (1-4) and Wolverhampton Wanderers (1-0). A result at Anfield against Liverpool therefore does not seem impossible for The Foxes. At Leicester, however, they also know that Liverpool have won no fewer than 29 of the last 30 home games in the Premier League. In April 2017, Liverpool last lost a league game at Anfield, but given all the home team’s injuries and Leicester’s form, The Foxes can hope for a result.
