Liverpool vs Leicester Preview

Liverpool are back in Premier League action after a scintillating 6-3 win against Tottenham last weekend.

Arne Slot's side are firm favourites to maintain their lead at the top as they hosts a struggling Leicester at Anfield.

Liverpool vs Leicester Form

Arne Slot's side have maintained a strong league form this season and sit top of the Premier League table with 39 points.

Their last league match was an entertaining affair as the league leaders ran riot against Spurs in a 6-3 statement win with goals from Salah (2), Luis Diaz (2), Szoboszlai and Mac Allister enough to see off Postecoglou's side.

The Reds are now unbeaten in their last twelve league games and have won seven of their last ten Premier League matches.

Liverpool have been scoring goals for fun with 2+ goals scored in nine consecutive Premier League games while four of their last five league games have seen over 2.5 goals scored.

They also boast a very strong home form with six wins and four clean sheets in eight home games this season.

Leicester have struggled in the Premier League this season and are just two points above the drop zone with 12 points after 17 League games.

The Foxes have lost six of their last ten Premier League games and have been weak in defence.

They have conceded 2+ goals in six of their last seven league matches and have kept just one clean sheet in the Premier League all season.

Their away form has also been poor with one win in eight away league games this season and are yet to keep a clean sheet away from home.

Five of their away league fixtures this season have seen over 3.5 goals scored.

Liverpool vs Leicester Predictions

Given the goal scoring form of Mohamed Salah and Liverpool's attack, this could be a very long day for Rude Van Nistelrooy's side as Liverpool possess enough quality to do damage in the opposition defensive third.

I'll be backing the goal fest to continue with over 3.5 goals.
