Leicester City hosts Liverpool in round 19 of the English Premier League. The match will be played on Thursday, December 26th at King Power Stadium (Leicester)
Leicester is great this season, but it loses points in matches with strong opponents all the time. The defense of the Foxes is not so good as to withstand the onslaught of top rivals. As a result, the team of Rogers conceded from all the teams that finished in the top six last season (including twice from Liverpool). In general, Leicester managed to keep a clean sheet in only one of its six last matches. And the Foxes kept a cleans sheet only in a match with Watford - the worst Premier League team that scored only 11 goals.

Liverpool kept a clean sheet in the last two matches of the Premier League, but it’s too early to say that the Reds have begun to work more reliably in defense. They played against low-scoring Watford and Bournemouth, which scored only five goals in the last 11 matches. Leicester is at a different level. In fact, the Reds have never kept a clean sheet in matches with strong opponents such as Man City, Manchester United, Arsenal, Tottenham, and Chelsea. In general, before the game with the Cherries, Liverpool conceded for 13 games in a row. Therefore, I don’t think that Klopp’s team will keep a clean sheet at King Power Stadium.
The Foxes do not leave the field without goals for 16 games in a row. Vardy confidently leads the list of top scorers. Leicester is effective at home and successfully breaches the defenses of opponents. Finally, since returning to the Premier League, the Foxes have scored in all home matches against Liverpool. I believe that the men of Rogers will take advantage of the opponent’s fatigue and at least score Liverpool (or make bold to gain more), but Leicester is unlikely to stand up to the onslaught of the Reds. Liverpool is the only team in the Premier League that managed to score in all matches. At the same time, the men of Rogers are inferior only to Man City in terms of scoring. Salah and Mane are in great shape and simply tear the opponents' defense on the flanks. The Reds are effective even outside of Anfield and score two goals per game, on average. Therefore, I also expect a goal from Liverpool, which managed to score in 26 previous Premier League matches.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score - yes
