How both teams go into Liverpool vs Leicester
A run of eight wins out of nine matches has seen Liverpool establish themselves as the Premier League leaders. Arne Slot’s team is currently unbeaten in 11 games, but they have dropped four points in their three most recent outings. This has allowed Chelsea to narrow the gap to just four points, although Liverpool has a game in hand following the postponement of their Merseyside derby clash with Everton. As things stand, Liverpool boasts the league’s best attack, having scored 37 goals, and the best defence, with only 16 goals conceded.
Meanwhile, Leicester City have parted ways with Steve Cooper after a disappointing start to their return to England’s top division. Ruud van Nistelrooy, who had already taken interim charge of Manchester United, has since been appointed as the manager. The results have been mixed; after an emphatic win over West Ham, they achieved an impressive comeback draw against Brighton, but then suffered a humbling 4-0 loss to Newcastle. This leaves the Foxes just one place and two points above the relegation zone.
Liverpool team news
Arne Slot is expected to have a near fully available squad, with only Ibrahima Konate missing out through injury.
Leicester team news
Issahaku Fatawu will be out long-term due to a serious knee injury, while Wilfred Ndidi is not expected to return until the new year. Additionally, there is no set return date for Ricardo Pereira and Jakub Stolarczyk.
Liverpool vs Leicester head-to-head
Liverpool are seeking a fourth straight win over Leicester in all competitions. The Reds have only tasted two defeats to the Foxes across their previous 14 meetings (11 wins and one draw).
