A steam train heading straight for the Premier League title, Liverpool don't appear to be letting up as they look to secure the trophy they came within a whisker of lifting last season.
Seven wins from seven in the league - with 18 goals scored and only five conceded - Jurgen Klopp's men mean business once again as they aim to secure the one trophy their supporters so desperately crave.
Standing in their way on Saturday are a revitalised outfit who know a thing or two about top-flight trophies themselves, as Leicester come to town looking to build on their own superb start to the season. Under the management of Brendan Rodgers, the Foxes find themselves sitting pretty in the Premier League, currently occupying third spot.

Liverpool are unbeaten in eight home top-flight matches against Leicester - winning six - since losing 0-2 in May 2000. Best of luck, Foxes.

Jamie Vardy, However, Has Other Ideas
His Record Speaks for Itself
Since the start of 2010/11 - when Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Man City, United and Spurs finished as the top six for the first time - only Sergio Aguero with a goal every 118 minutes has a better minutes per goal ratio against the ‘big six’ than Vardy's strike rate of one every 150 minutes.
