After a decent start to the season, Leicester City play host to the potential title challengers in Liverpool. The Foxes have often been a bit of a bogy team for the Reds since they returned to the top flight, and will look to make up for two hard-to-take defeats to Liverpool last year.

Without their kryptonite in Jamie Vardy, though, can the Foxes hunt down the Reds and outscore one of the most effervescent teams in the league?

Expect Leicester to stick to a similar line-up to their last games, with Marc Albrighton, James Maddison and Demarai Gray lining up behind Kelechi Iheanacho. The Nigerian forward has struggled at times in the Midlands, and will need to use this time starting up top to displace Vardy for the long-term.

Wilfried Ndidi will play in midfield alongside Nampalys Mendy, who appears to be revived under Claude Puel. In defence, Wes Morgan will likely start with new signings Filip Benkovic and Caglar Soyuncu likely not ready to play just yet.

Liverpool News

Jurgen Klopp made clear after their fraught win against Brighton and Hove Albion that changes would likely be coming after naming the same line-up for three games on the spin. For this game, expect to see Jordan Henderson returning to the line-up, with Giorginio Wijnaldum the most likely one to miss out.

Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah will start up top too, but we could see Daniel Sturridge given a game. Naby Keita might not start, either, having quickly shown signs of fatigue in the Brighton match amid acclimatization to the league.

Verdict

We can see an away win coming: Leicester are a good side, though, and will definitely cause them problems. This is likely to be the biggest test of Alisson Becker’ early Liverpool career: if Liverpool can win their fourth game on the spin, it’ll be the first time in the Premier League era they have won all four.
