Comments and predictions for Leicester City vs Liverpool: Making a salad of foxes

Latest Leicester City vs Liverpool squad information

Liverpool have received positive news as Trent Alexander-Arnold – who, like Salah and Van Dijk, is yet to sign a new contract – could return to the bench this weekend after a month out with an ankle injury.

Darwin Nunez is also expected to return after missing the West Ham game through illness. If both are available, Liverpool will only be without Joe Gomez (hamstring) and Tyler Morton (shoulder).

Mohamed Salah – who has the most assists and goals in a 38-game season – is now just three away from breaking the record. This weekend he could become the first player to score in six different games against newly promoted teams in a single Premier League season.

Leicester also received good news when manager Van Nistelrooy confirmed that Wout Faes and Jeremy Monga - the second youngest player in Premier League history - had recovered and could play. Victor Kristiansen (personal reasons) and Facundo Buonanotte (not allowed to play for their parent club) also returned to the squad.

However, Harry Winks (internal sanction) and Abdul Fatawu (knee injury) are still unable to play.

Faes' return could see Leicester switch to a five-man defence. However, Van Nistelrooy is likely to stick with the same line-up that fought so bravely against Brighton, with 38-year-old captain Jamie Vardy continuing to lead the attack.

Latest Leicester City vs Liverpool football prediction

Mikel Arteta's selection of the team against Brentford showed that Arsenal - Liverpool's closest rivals in the Premier League title race - are prioritising the Champions League over domestic dreams. And Liverpool took advantage of that slip-up by the Gunners in the round of 32.

After Arsenal dropped two points in the London derby with Brentford, Arne Slot's men struggled to win at home to West Ham United. Luis Diaz tapped in from close range and captain Virgil van Dijk continued his leadership role with a trademark header to earn Liverpool all three points at Anfield.

April 2025 could be a legendary month for Liverpool. After Mohamed Salah, Van Dijk has now committed to another two years at the club. The team only needs to win two of their remaining six games to officially win the Premier League for the second time.

They could even be crowned champions this weekend if they win at the King Power Stadium and Arsenal surprisingly lose at Ipswich. Despite being beaten 3-2 by Fulham in their last away game, Liverpool have not lost two consecutive away games in the league since April 2023.

The two goals at Craven Cottage also showed that Liverpool’s away form remains impressive – they have scored two or more goals in their last six Premier League away games, and 11 of their last 12. Leicester fans may therefore have been bracing themselves for a less-than-stellar finish.

While Liverpool are closing in on glory, Leicester are in freefall and are facing relegation in 2025-26. Even if they pull off a major upset and beat the leaders, it may not be enough to salvage the situation with five games remaining.

Last weekend, Ruud van Nistelrooy's side finally found their scoring touch, ending an eight-game goal drought with a 2-2 draw at Brighton. But it came too late to save them from relegation.

With 17 points adrift of safety and just 18 points left to play for, a draw or defeat to Liverpool would see Leicester officially relegated. Even if they win, they will still be relegated if Wolverhampton and West Ham both win.

However, with their goalless streak now over, Leicester can look to the new spirit to avoid becoming the first team in Premier League history to go nine consecutive home games without scoring.

They last scored at the King Power in a 2-2 draw with Brighton in December, and then a consolation goal in a 3-1 defeat to Liverpool on Boxing Day, but this time a consolation goal is unlikely to bring any consolation to a home side who are on the brink of relegation.
