Liverpool vs Leicester Prediction & Betting Tips (26 December)

Forced to reinvent itself this summer after the departure of legend Jurgen Klopp, Liverpool are succeeding in their bet. Under the leadership of its new coach Arne Slot, the Mersey club has so far fulfilled all its objectives by occupying the top of the standings in the Champions League where it has won all of its first 6 matches. In the Premier League, the Reds are also showing themselves to be intractable by prancing, before the planned clash against Tottenham next weekend, in 1st position in the Premier League. That said, the residents of Anfield will have to restart the machine after their two draws conceded against Newcastle 3-3 and Fulham 2-2. In any case, they quickly found their way back to success by beating Southampton in the Carabao Cup last week 1-2.

Leicester, for their part, are no longer really the greats of England that they were in the middle of the 2010s. This team even had to do a little freelance work in the Championship last year before being quickly repatriated to the elite where its objective will be to be able to quickly renew its lease. This will not be easy for the Foxes who are encountering a lot of difficulties this year, with only 14 points on the clock after 16 days. Victorious over West Ham 3-1, Ruud van Nistelrooij's players were then held to a draw by Brighton 2-2 before being crushed by Newcastle 4-0.

The Reds are still orphaned by senior defender Konaté and potential starters Tsimikas and Bradley who are still not recovered for this Boxing Day. Unsure last weekend, long-time absent attackers Diogo Jota and Chiesa could be in the squad this week while midfielder Mac Allister returns from suspension. Still the spearhead of this team, the Egyptian Salah (13 goals and 8 assists in PL) continues his fantastic season. Much more solid than the rest of the competition, Liverpool have only conceded 13 goals this year.

As for the Foxes, the important midfielders Ndidi and Winks, the potentially starting winger Fatawu, the goalkeeper n°2 Stolarczyk and the now replacement full-back Ricardo Pereira are all defecting and will not be able to travel to Anfield today. Otherwise, most executives should be able to respond, starting with the attacking midfielder Argentinian Buonanotte (4 goals and 2 assists in PL). Still effective despite his 37 years, scorer Jamie Vardy (6 goals and 3 assists in the PL) should take his place at the forefront.
