Liverpool take on the visitors Leicester in the round 18 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Thursday, December 26th at Anfield (Liverpool).
Liverpool, having finished last season in 3rd place and winning the League Cup. But that was Klopp's last success - Jurgen had already announced his intention to leave. There were concerns about what the transition period would be like after such a long and successful era. But Arne Slot showed himself to be excellent. He had a great start, and this calendar year in the Champions League the Englishmen finished with a 100% record, winning all 6 matches. In the League Cup with Southampton they also won, albeit without much brilliance, by 1 goal. In the Premier League there was a clear misfire, in the form of a home defeat to Nottingham Forest, and a draw with Arsenal. But in December they already dropped points with Newcastle (3-3) and Fulham (2-2). But they broke through with Tottenham, winning 6-3.

Leicester have already managed to change their coach. The Foxes held on at a good level for a long time under Rodgers, although they did not pretend to repeat the sensational championship, which was arranged by Ranieri. And then suddenly in 2023 there was an unexpected failure, with a fall to the Championship. They managed to return "straight away", winning first place in that division, and "straight away". But Enzo Maresca, who achieved this, moved to Chelsea in the summer. He was replaced by Steve Cooper, and it turned out unsuccessfully. After a series of failures, the Welshman was fired in November. Van Nistelrooy became the new coach. Ruud started well, managed to win against a direct competitor, West Ham, and ended with a 1-1 draw with Brighton. But then there was a 0-4 rout from Newcastle. Moreover, immediately after this, such a painful score was repeated in a match with one of the direct competitors - Wolverhampton.
All 4 last official matches were won by the "Reds". The only question and the only intrigue is how solid the advantage of the "Merseysiders" will be. A balanced option looks like a bet with a handicap of "-2.5 goals scored".
Prediction for the match: Liverpool to win with -2.5 handicap.
