The Premier League returns to the fold with another round of matches this week as Leicester City lock horns with Arne Slot's Liverpool side in an intriguing clash at Anfield on Thursday. The two teams have experienced contrasting fortunes this season and will want to win this game.

Liverpool, on the other hand, are at the top of the league table at the moment and have been in excellent form this year. The Merseyside outfit thrashed Tottenham Hotspur by a 6-3 margin last week and will be confident ahead of this fixture.
