Leicester City vs Liverpool Preview
On Sunday Leicester vs Liverpool will have an impact on both ends of the table. Leicester are desperate to avoid relegation, but Monday brings a tough challenge against a Liverpool side in simply brilliant form right now, while Liverpool is battling for the Top 4.
The Premier League champs of the 2015-16 season are on the verge of a downfall. They took a massive hit at the hands of Marco Silva’s Fulham FC. Although goals were pouring from left to right in the match, Leicester ended up in the rear seat at the final whistle.
Newcastle dropping two points at Leeds was a bonus for the Reds’ top-four hopes, though Manchester United got one of the three wins they need to secure Champions League football against Wolverhampton Wanderers. While any three points will do for Liverpool as they look to keep pressure on both. The visitors should be fired on in this one by Mohamed Salah, who is out to become the first player to net 20+ league goals in three consecutive seasons for the Reds since Roger Hunt in the mid-60s.
Liverpool have a good record against the Foxes, winning eight of their last 11 Premier League games against them (D1 L2), more than they had in their previous 19 (W7 D5 L7). Over their past 6 clashes alone, a total of 22 goals have been recorded for both teams combined (at an average of 3.67 goals per game) with 9 of these being chalked up by Leicester City.
