Liverpool vs Leicester Premier League Prediction Match Details
High-flying Liverpool will welcome relegation-threatened Leicester City to the Anfield Stadium on Thursday night, Boxing Day. Bookmakers consider the Foxes huge underdogs in this match.
Liverpool Preview & Form
Liverpool are flying high this season in all competitions, and their fans are enjoying the sensational run of form under the management of Arne Slot. The Reds have managed to secure 21 victories out of 25 matches across all competitions, and they are considered huge favorites by bookmakers to win the Premier League silver crown this season. Arne Slot’s men raised the bar by ending their two consecutive league draws with an entertaining 6-3 victory over Tottenham Hotspur in north London last weekend, with the result extending Liverpool’s lead at the top of the table after Chelsea were held to a 0-0 draw by Everton at Goodison Park. The Reds have now remained unbeaten in the last 21 matches across all competitions, with their only defeat of the season against Nottingham Forest way back in mid-September. Liverpool has the second-best attack in the Premier League this season, having scored 37 goals so far.
Home form for Arne Slot’s men has produced nine consecutive victories and a draw against Fulham in their most recent home game. Their attacking frontline has consistently produced goals on their home soil, having scored two or more goals in each of their last 10 home matches in all competitions and maintaining clean sheets in four of their last five.
Leicester Preview & Form
Ruud van Nistelrooy is now realizing the huge task ahead of him, as since taking charge, they’ve struggled to find a rhythm, with three games without a win. Leicester City begins their festive period sitting just two points outside of the bottom three and could drop into the relegation zone if they lose their trip to Anfield. The Foxes started their disappointing run of form as they were hammered 4-0 by Newcastle United at St James’ Park and then suffered their second defeat in a row against fellow struggling Wolverhampton Wanderers at the weekend. The Foxes have the second-worst defensive record in the league, with 37 goals conceded
The Foxes are yet to taste victory in each of their last five road games and have shipped in two or more goals in four of those games. The last time Leicester City tasted a victory at Anfield was in 2000, which will make this match a hard rock to climb.
