All eyes will be on King Power Stadium when Leicester City and Liverpool face each other on Boxing Day. The Foxes are enjoying a season to remember, but star-studded Manchester City proved to be a big catch for Brendan Rodgers’ troops. Leicester City aim to retain second position in the standings, but they would be happy with one point from the Boxing Day game.
Jamie Vardy scored his 17th goal of the season in the 3-1 loss to Man City, meaning that Liverpool defenders should have him at bay. The Reds are brimming with confidence following a win over Flamengo in the FIFA Club World Cup final, but tired legs are likely to prove to be a big problem for Jurgen Klopp’s troops. Leicester City are a real force to be reckoned with at home, which is yet another reason why we predict that Brendan Rodgers is going to have a reason for celebration in Thursday’s clash against his former club.
Over 1.5. Or both team score Yes
