On the other side, Leicester is far from the one that surprised the world by winning the Premier under Italian coach Ranieri in 2016. Now, it has been struggling during the first half of the league, and perhaps this is a great opportunity to make the right move.

Liverpool Preview
Klopp’s bet for this season is to conform the squad with players of hierarchy and to keep on mixing the good players and several youth players that are arriving to Liverpool’s professional team. With that in mind, the season started with some turbulence, but little by little it is trying to get back on track.
The Reds are in sixth place with 25 points, but still a long way behind the 40 of unstoppable Arsenal. The reds will feel the loss of the Colombian Luis Diaz, who was becoming one of his most trusted men, while Salah is taking on all the attacking responsibilities while waiting for the Uruguayan Nunez to finally explode.
Probable lineup (4-2-3-1): Alisson Becker, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Joel Matip, Virgil Van Dijk, Andrew Robertson, Jordan Henderson, Fabinho, Thiago Alcantara, Mohamed Salah, Darwin Núñez, Alex-Oxlade Chamberlain.
Leicester City Preview
The resounding 3-0 home defeat on Boxing Day against Newcastle confirmed Leicester City as a very unreliable team, as it has a record of 9 defeats out of 16 matches played. They are still in 13th place, although only a few points separate them from the teams in the danger zone, who are only 4 points behind them.
The most difficult moment was during the first part of the tournament, where they went the first seven dates without a win (six of which resulted in defeats). These results submerged them in this mediocrity from which they are struggling to emerge. We’ll see if Brendan Rodgers can turn this situation around. He has plenty of material.
Probable lineup (4-2-3-1): Danny Ward, Timothy Castagne, Daniel Amartey, Wout Faes, Luke Thomas, Youri Tielemans, Boubakary Soumare; Ayoze Perez, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Harvey Barnes, Patson Daka.
JefeBet Prediction
Leicester City don’t look like they can cope with a Liverpool team that is on the rise and constantly evolving despite their absences.
Prediction: Liverpool wins 3-0.
