Liverpool – Will the Reds Keep Up Winning Run?
Liverpool have had a disappointing season on the whole. They head into this round of fixtures sitting in sixth spot, 15 points behind surprise leaders Arsenal. Klopp’s boys have won seven, drawn four and lost four.
Liverpool have responded well from those back-to-back defeats to Nottingham Forest and Leeds United in October. They have gone to win three in a row in the Premier League, getting the better of Tottenham Hotspur, Southampton, and Aston Villa.
The Merseyside giants returned from the 2022 FIFA World Cup break with an EFL Cup loss to Manchester City. However, they bounced back with a 3-1 success at Aston Villa in the league on Boxing Day, with Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk and Stefan Bajcetic getting the goals.
Liverpool have had some bad results this season, but they have managed to remain strong at home, with just Leeds leaving Anfield with all three points.
The Reds will be gunning for a fourth Premier League victory in a row this weekend. Read on for the best Liverpool vs Leicester City odds and predictions.
Liverpool Projected Lineup: Allison, Van Dijk, Robertson, Matip, Alexander-Arnold, Fabinho, Thiago, Henderson, Salah, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Nunez.
Liverpool Injuries: Arthur, Firmino, Jota, Diaz, Jones, Milner.
Leicester City – Foxes to Fall to Successive Defeats?
The pressure is on Rodgers as his Leicester team have been inconsistent, to say the least, this season. Between August and September, the Foxes suffered six straight Premier League defeats and propped up England’s top-tier table.
Leicester have shown a real improvement of late, though, winning five of their following nine in the league. Before the World Cup break, City secured back-to-back 2-0 wins over Everton and West Ham United.
They were second-best against in-form Newcastle on Boxing Day, crashing to a heavy 3-0 loss. Rodgers’ boys were two goals down after just seven minutes and failed to contain the Magpies’ excellent attack.
Leicester have struggled in front of their home fans lately, but City have won four in a row away from home, scoring 11 and conceding none. Can they stun Liverpool at Anfield on Friday?
Leicester may be the big underdogs at +850, but they have won two of their last three meetings with Liverpool. Below you will find the best Liverpool vs Leicester City odds and Premier League picks.
Leicester City Projected Lineup: Ward, Faes, Amartey, Castagne, Thomas, Barnes, Tielemans, Perez, Dewsbury-Hall, Ndidi, Daka.
Leicester City Injuries: Bertrand, Pereira, Praet, Justin, Maddison, Evans.
Liverpool vs. Leicester City Pick and Prediction
Liverpool are finally starting to look like their usual selves. The Reds have moved up to sixth after collecting nine points from their last three games and are now just five points behind fourth-place Tottenham in the race for the UEFA Champions League spots.
Leicester’s recent run fired them out of the bottom three, but things are very tight in the lower regions of the Premier League table. In fact, only six points separate Southampton in 20th from Aston Villa in 12th.
Unfortunately for Rodgers and Leicester, we fancy Liverpool to be too strong for them in this one. Our money is going on the home team to be winning at half time and full time at -120.
Liverpool have not kept many clean sheets this season, but we can see the hosts stopping Leicester from scoring on Friday. Have a punt on the Reds to win to nil at +125.
