Leicester City vs Liverpool Live Stats & Betting Odds
Leicester City Prediction – Can Leicester City inflict first defeat upon Liverpool?
Well, if any team can then Leicester City perhaps look the most likely as The Foxes have enjoyed a successful season under former Liverpool and Celtic manager, Brendan Rodgers, with the hosts currently sitting in 2nd place but 10 points behind Premier League leaders, Liverpool.
Nevertheless, not many people would have predicted that the showdown on Boxing Day between the top two teams in the division would be a clash between Leicester City and Liverpool (although the latter would have figured in most people’s predictions), but the hosts have shown they’re not going to let off the pressure anytime soon.
Despite their recent 3-1 loss away from home at 3rd placed Manchester City last weekend, Leicester City have produced some impressive displays which have resulted in an 8-match winning streak which included notable wins over Arsenal, Crystal Palace, Everton and a 9-0 humiliation of Southampton at their St Mary’s Stadium.
Leicester City also still remain unbeaten at home this season (along with only Liverpool) with an overall record of 7-2-0 19/5 which includes winning 7 of their last 8 matches at their King Power Stadium along with a total of 4 clean sheets.
Liverpool Prediction – Can Liverpool extend lead at top?
Liverpool head into this important Boxing Day clash at Leicester City sitting 10 points clear of The Foxes at the top of the Premier League on the back of winning their last 8 matches on the trot in the English top flight.
The Reds have been in sublime form so far this season as they’ve virtually controlled each and every opponent to date this term, winning 16 of their 17 matches played and they now look almost certain to lift the Premier League title under Jurgen Klopp this season after last season’s heartbreak.
Indeed, Liverpool are unbeaten in their last 34 league matches in the Premier League which is some record and this includes winning 29 of these matches which places Liverpool as favourites for this upcoming clash against Leicester City.
An impressive away record of 7-1-0 16/5 includes winning their last 3 away matches on the trot at Aston Villa 2-1, Crystal Palace 2-1 and a 3-0 win at Bournemouth, but while they face a tough test in the east midlands this evening, Liverpool look a formidable force right now.
