The Premier League is back in action with another massive fixture this week as Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool take on a struggling Leicester City outfit at Anfield on Thursday.
Liverpool vs Leicester City Preview
Leicester City are in 10th place in the Premier League standings and have endured a shockingly poor season so far. The Foxes were stunned by local rivals Nottingham Forest in the FA Cup over the weekend and will need to put the 4-1 debacle behind them to stand a chance in this game.
Liverpool, on the other hand, are in second place in the league table at the moment and are nine points behind league-leaders Manchester City. The Merseyside giants are in impressive form and have an outside chance of challenging the reigning champions for their Premier League crown.
