Liverpool vs. Leceister: Preview, Team News, and Ways to Watch

LIVERPOOL vs LECEISTER
| Saturday, December 30th |
Premier League | Anfield
3PM GMT/10AM EST

With a goal average of 4.7 goals per game, the last three Premier League matches between Liverpool and Leceister have produced a total of 14 goals. Jamie Vardy scored six goals against us and was involved in seven in total - more than against any other opponent in the competition.

Our mighty Reds have only conceded three goals in ten Premier League fixtures at Anfield this season and extended their unbeaten PL run to nine having beaten a battered Swans side on Tuesday night.

Liverpool are the second highest goal scorers in the league thus far and the team are bound to feel a boost with the awesome signing of Virgil van Dijk on Wednesday.

Leceister City are currently in 8th place on the table, having won four of their last seven league matches. The foxes also came close to knocking Manchester City out of the League Cup, ultimately losing on penalties.

Projected Liverpool Lineup (4-3-3)
Mignolet; Matip, Gomez, Klavan, Alexander-Arnold; Can, Wijnaldum, Coutinho; Salah, Firmino, Oxlade-Chamberlain

We are still without Alberto Moreno (foot) and Jordan Henderson (thigh), with Daniel Sturridge (muscular) also currently in doubt.

Daniel Amartey returns from suspension for the Foxes who are still without Robert Huth (ankle) and Matty James has not been declared match fit as yet. Danny Simpson is also out with a recent hamstring injury.

What the Managers had to say

Jürgen Klopp: "They are a good organised side. Good at counter-attacking. It will be difficult, that's for sure. All teams in the League have quality, especially Leicester."
Claude Puel: "I think they (Liverpool) are a great team, good defenders, good midfielders, good attackers. It is a complete team."
