Liverpool, weakened by injuries, welcome table-topping Leicester City to Anfield on Sunday evening, as they return to Premier League action after the international break.
Since their 7-2 defeat at the hands of Aston Villa, Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool have drawn two and won two games. Last time out, they had to work hard to take a point from an away trip to Manchester City that ended 1-1. Now in third place in the table, they sit a point behind their Sunday visitors. They are set to miss three out of their usual back-four at the weekend, however, as well as main striker Mo Salah.
Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers used to manage Liverpool, and he has not won in his previous two outings against his former club. Given Liverpool’s injury problems, the Ulsterman will surely be feeling some confidence that he can make it third time lucky. The Foxes have won their last three games, conceding just one goal and scoring six in that run. They have won their last six in all competitions, and have a good away record this season.
The Reds have not lost a home league game in 63 matches, a stat that makes them strong favourites to win this game, despite their injury problems. Two of Leicester’s last three wins have been 1-0. If you think the Foxes can repeat that scoreline at Anfield then Bet365 are offering odds of 16/1 on them doing so on Sunday. Jamie Vardy is a man to watch, with the Leicester striker have hit eight league goals this season.
Our featured tip for this game comes from Bet365, who are offering a price of 4/1 on there being under two goals in the match. Given the way that Leicester tend to win 1-0, this looks likely to us, especially given Liverpool’s issues with injury. A 0-0 draw or a 1-0 Liverpool win is our prediction.
