Leicester vs Liverpool Betting Tips: 20.04.2025 - Predictions & Match Preview

Anything other than victory on Sunday would result in relegation for Leicester City, who could already be down before a ball is kicked against Liverpool if other results go against them.

Leicester’s draw at Brighton was well deserved after they came from behind twice, but it won’t have any bearing on their soon-to-disappear hopes of survival.

The Foxes’ run of eight consecutive home defeats without scoring a goal is ultimately what will cost them a place in next season’s Premier League. A similar result on Sunday would confirm their demotion to the Championship.

They will take on the champions-elect without the suspended Harry Winks, while Wout Faes and Jeremy Monga will be assessed before the game. Facundo Buonanotte is available after sitting out the trip to his parent club, Brighton.

Liverpool’s latest road trip brought their first away defeat of the league campaign, but with Arsenal dropping points in each of their last two games, the loss to Fulham is of little consequence.

The Reds were also below par at home to West Ham United a week ago, but an 89th-minute header from captain Virgil van Dijk ensured that they took all three points anyway.

Their week got even better as the skipper penned a new deal, just one week after it was announced that Mohamed Salah would extend his stay beyond this term.

Liverpool will win the title on Sunday if they are victorious and Arsenal lose at Ipswich.

Decade of Difficulty for Reds in Leicester

Liverpool have travelled to the King Power Stadium nine times since February 2016, with the Foxes coming out on top five times.

The first of those meetings happened during Leicester’s title-winning campaign. Jamie Vardy scored two, including a goal of the season contender to open the scoring.

Vardy also netted twice at home to Liverpool the following season in a 3-1 win, and then once more in 2017-18, although the Reds prevailed 3-2 on that September evening.

The most recent head-to-head in Leicester took place in May 2023. Curtis Jones bagged a brace before fellow scouser Trent Alexander-Arnold grabbed the third to seal a comfortable triumph.

While Leicester have had plenty of joy against Liverpool over the last 10 years, the most recent encounters have not gone their way.

The Foxes are looking to avoid an unwanted milestone this weekend.

Our Betting Tip for Today

The best bet for this fixture is a bet builder involving Liverpool to win, Wilfred Ndidi to commit a foul, and Alexis Mac Allister to be fouled.

Ndidi and Mac Allister are likely to be up against one another on Sunday, and this looks like an excellent foul match-up.

It pits Leicester’s most frequent offender against the Reds player who draws the most fouls. Ndidi averages 1.69 fouls per 90 minutes this season, while Liverpool’s Argentine World Cup winner draws 1.26 per 90.

Ndidi didn’t play in the reverse fixture, but Mac Allister was fouled twice and both of the Foxes’ sitting midfielders were penalised once apiece.

We still need another selection to get towards a palatable price. I’m happy to include a Liverpool win, as the Reds will have had another seven days off and should be able to up their level after a pair of lethargic performances since the Merseyside derby.

Leicester’s home record is abysmal and I see no reason why that won’t continue against the best team in the division.
