Leicester City vs Liverpool Prediction: A crushing victory for the Foxes

Latest team news for Leicester City vs Liverpool

Liverpool received positive news as Trent Alexander-Arnold – although he hasn't extended his contract like Salah and Van Dijk – could return to the bench this weekend after a month recovering from an ankle injury.

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

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

Leicester also received good news as manager Van Nistelrooy confirmed that Wout Faes and Jeremy Monga – the second youngest player in Premier League history – have recovered and are available to play. Victor Kristiansen (for personal reasons) and Facundo Buonanotte (not allowed to play with his club) have also returned to the squad.

However, Harry Winks (internal suspension) and Abdul Fatawu (knee injury) are still unavailable.

Faes' return could allow Leicester to switch to a five-man defensive formation. However, Van Nistelrooy will most likely keep the same lineup that fought bravely against Brighton, with 38-year-old captain Jamie Vardy continuing to lead the attack.

Latest predicted lineups for Leicester City vs Liverpool

Hermansen; Pereira, Okoli, Coady, Justin; Ndidi, Soumare; McAteer, El Khannouss, Mavididi; Vardy

Liverpool:
Alisson; Bradley, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Gravenberch, Mac Allister; Salah, Szoboszlai, Diaz; Gakpo

Latest football match prediction: Leicester City vs Liverpool

Mikel Arteta's team selection against Brentford showed that Arsenal – Liverpool's closest rival in the Premier League title race – were prioritizing the Champions League over domestic trophies. And Liverpool took full advantage of that slip-up by the Gunners in round 32.

After Arsenal dropped two points in the London derby against Brentford, Arne Slot's men had to work hard to secure a home victory against West Ham United. Luis Diaz scored from close range, and captain Virgil van Dijk continued to assert his leadership with a trademark header, earning Liverpool three points at Anfield.

April 2025 could become a legendary milestone for Liverpool. After Mohamed Salah, Van Dijk has now also committed to a two-year extension with the club. The team only needs to win two of their remaining six matches to officially clinch their second Premier League title.

They could even clinch the title this weekend if they win at King Power and Arsenal unexpectedly lose at Ipswich. Despite being beaten 3-2 by Fulham in their last away game, Liverpool haven't lost two consecutive away games in the league since April 2023.

Furthermore, the two equalizing goals at Craven Cottage showed that Liverpool's away scoring form remains impressive – they have scored two or more goals in their last six Premier League away games, and 11 of their last 12. Therefore, Leicester fans should probably have prepared themselves for a less-than-favorable outcome.

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

Last weekend, Ruud van Nistelrooy's side finally rediscovered their scoring touch, ending an eight-game goalless streak with a 2-2 draw against Brighton. But that came too late to save them from the relegation battle.

With 17 points separating them from safety and only a possible 18 points achievable, a draw or defeat against Liverpool would officially relegate Leicester. Even a win would see them relegated if both Wolverhampton and West Ham win.

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

The last time they scored at King Power was in a 2-2 draw with Brighton in December, and then a consolation goal in a 1-3 defeat to Liverpool on Boxing Day. But this time, a consolation goal will probably offer little comfort to the home side teetering on the brink of disaster.
