In the last round, Leicester took part in the goal shootout against Manchester City. The Citizens won with a score of 6-3. The Foxes have not been particularly stable lately. In five previous matches, they gained two victories and one draw and suffered two defeats (a goal difference was 14-12). Rogers'’ charges are only on the 10th line in the standings with 22 points scored. But do not forget that the team has one game in reserve. The Blues are performing quite well at home.

Liverpool didn’t play in the last round. The last time Klopp's men took the field was in the match against Tottenham on December 19. That game ended in a battling draw with a score of 2-2. Thus, the Reds ended a streak of six consecutive victories in the Premier League. Now they are on the 2nd line standings with 41 points in their assets (and they have one game in hand). The gap to the leading Manchester City is already six points. I cannot ignore the fact that the Reds scored 50 goals in 18 league matches. And their defense and goalkeeper act at the highest level, allowing their opponents to score only 15 times. Liverpool scored 20 points in nine away matches (six victories, two draws, and one loss).
Less than a week ago, Leicester and Liverpool crossed paths in the League Cup quarterfinals. The match turned out to be incredibly intense. The regulation time ended with a 3-3 score, and Liverpool was stronger in a penalty shootout (5-4). Now the Foxes will be very motivated. Of course, they will try to take revenge for the defeat in the League Cup. But it is far from certain that even native stands will be able to help them. After all, Liverpool is showing incredibly productive football this season. And the Blues are holding a very mediocre championship. Tenth place in the standings only confirms this. Nevertheless, we will probably see another goal shootout.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 goals scored
