Recent respective form guides

Leicester City need to improve on their recent home record of just 3 draws from the previous six. Foxes have conceded a disappointing 14 goals in this period, and managed to convert only 3 of their own chances.

Liverpool's away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. The Reds's have scored 9 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 11.

Leicester City are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 27 points from 29 matches. Liverpool sit in a healthy 4th in the league, and have picked up 45 points from their 29 games.
