Liverpool team news

Liverpool are getting closer to full strength with Jurgen Klopp confirming that Mohamed Salah could feature here, despite only just returning from international duty.

Sadio Mane is not back from AFCON though, and this could open the door for a full debut for Luis Diaz. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Joe Gomez are back after testing positive for Covid-19.

Leicester continue to struggle with injuries ahead of this one. First-team regulars Jonny Evans, Jamie Vardy, Timothy Castagne, Wesley Fofana remain sidelined and Bertrand is out too.

Nampalys Mendy played himself back into relevance with a barnstorming AFCON tournament, but this game comes too soon for him.

Liverpool vs Leicester head-to-head record

These two sides have met 118 previously and things have historically been closer than you might imagine.

Liverpool do enjoy an advantage, but it is a narrow one. They have tasted victory 52 times to the Foxes' 41, while the 25 other fixtures have ended in draws.

The two teams last met back in December, when an Ademola Lookman strike gave Leicester a deserved 1-0 win.


Liverpool vs Leicester score prediction

The imminent return of Salah should give Liverpool a boost, although they should not need too much extra motivation to dispatch of an out-of-sorts Leicester at home.

The Foxes are still reeling from their FA Cup nightmare against Forest and the Reds will be razor focussed to get a result, as they know any slip-ups will essentially hand Manchester City the title.

Expect to see a professional job from Klopp's charges on Thursday night.

Prediction: Liverpool 3-1 Leicester
