Leicester City Preview & Form
Leicester City has been experiencing a horrible run of form under Ruud Van Nistelrooy and is among the three clubs seemingly destined for a return to Championship football next term. Last weekend, the Foxes managed to end a run of form where they had suffered eight defeats in a row in the Premier League without scoring a goal. They came from a goal behind twice to hold Brighton to a 2-2 draw thanks to goals from Stephy Mavididi and Caleb Okoli. The Foxes have the second-worst defense in the top division, having shipped a total of 70 goals from 32 games. Currently, they sit 19th in the Premier League standings with 18 points, 17 points adrift of the safety zone with six games to go.
Ruud Van Nistelrooy's side has struggled badly on their home soil, having lost each of their last eight Premier League games without scoring a goal. The Foxes' last victory at the King Power Stadium was a 2-1 win over West Ham in early December last year.
Liverpool Preview & Form
Liverpool are experiencing some sort of form for the first time under Arne Slot, as the Reds last month suffered a Champions League exit and an EFL Cup final defeat but are in a good position to win the Premier League silverware this season. Last weekend, Arne Slot's side took a major step towards their second Premier League title crown in five years by claiming a 2-1 victory against struggling West Ham United at Anfield. Last weekend's performance was far from their best despite Luis Diaz opening the scoring in the first half before a mix-up between Virgil van Dijk and Andrew Robertson produced an equalizer. However, Captain Virgil van Dijk then stepped in to head in a corner from Mac Allister to score the match winner in the 89th minute. The Dutchman manager Arne Slot is set to become only the ninth manager to win the title in their first season working in England's top flight
Arne Slot's side has struggled significantly with their recent road games, having won just one in their last four Premier League away games. During this, they managed to pick up five points from a possible 12.
