Manchester City’s loss to Newcastle United has opened the gates for Liverpool to secure a seven point lead at the top of the English Premier League. The Reds are in action against Leicester City next who are fighting for consistency in top-flight football. Jurgen Klopp knows Liverpool do not have experience of a tittle winning season and hence is cautious with every step his side takes in their march towards glory. They have not lost at home in their last 32 games, a run that stretches back to April 2017 which will give them even greater impetus to snatch all three points.
Liverpool have had plenty of rest before this game since they were not in action in the FA Cup having been dumped by Wolves. James Milner’s red card against Crystal Palace rules him out of the tie which leaves Fabinho as the only option to slot in at the full-back position. Joel Matip could partner Virgil Van Dyk in the Liverpool backline to add more stability to their defence. Although arguably being the best defender in the world, it was a bit of struggle for Van Dyk against Crystal Palace and the this is where Joel Matip will be of big help. Mo Salah is having another brilliant season at the Merseyside with the Egyptian leading the scorer’s chart with 16 goals. The former AS Roma man along with duo of Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino form a deadly front three which is one of the best in Europe. Leicester City will have to do exceptionally well to keep them at bay.
Jamie Vardy has the chance to score his eighth goal against Liverpool and match Thierry Henry’s record of most goals against the Reds. The former England international loves playing against Liverpool and has scored some memorable goals against them in the past. Harry Maguire handed manager Claude Puel a huge boost after the England defender overcame a leg problem and is now available for selection.
A routine win awaits Liverpool at the Merseyside with plenty of goals being cheered at the Klop end by their Red fans.
