Premier League: Leicester City vs Liverpool live
Preview
Leicester City’s pivotal battle against Liverpool at the King Power Stadium on Monday night looms large, as their Premier League survival hangs in the balance. Liverpool, eyeing a top-four spot, are also seeking a victory to bolster their campaign. The match kicks off at 7 pm (GMT).
Fulham dealt a blow to Leicester’s hopes of avoiding relegation in a thrilling encounter last Monday, beating the Foxes 5-3. Despite scoring in nine of their last ten league games, the Foxes have conceded in their last 20 matches, hindering their chances of avoiding the drop. Currently sitting in the relegation zone, Leicester’s hopes of safety remain uncertain, with tough fixtures against Newcastle United and West Ham United still to come. Leicester face a must-win game against Liverpool on Monday to protect their Premier League status.
Liverpool aim to continue their late-season surge with a seventh consecutive Premier League victory when they face Leicester City at the King Power Stadium. Jurgen Klopp’s side are coming off a narrow 1-0 victory against Brentford, which saw Mohamed Salah score his 100th goal at Anfield. Liverpool’s Champions League hopes hang on a delicate thread and extending their current winning streak will be crucial. The visitors should not underestimate their opponents, who have won their last two encounters at home against Liverpool.
Head-to-Head
Liverpool have won four of their last six encounters with Leicester City, suffering two defeats.
Prediction
Leicester’s attacking prowess contrasts with their defensive vulnerabilities, which Liverpool will likely exploit. Despite recent difficulties at the King Power Stadium, Liverpool are favourites to secure another victory, intensifying Leicester’s relegation concerns. However, with both teams eager for a win, we anticipate the match could end in a closely contested draw.
