Liverpool vs Leicester Prediction & Betting Tips - Premier League
by Devesh Jaganath in Premier League Predictions
High-flying Liverpool will be out to extend their lead atop the Premier League table on Boxing Day when they host Leicester City at Anfield. The Reds are four points clear at the summit of the league standings while the Foxes are the first side above the drop zone after 17 games. Check out our match prediction below!
Liverpool have been on a sensational run of form this season and will be confident of bagging another three points here having avoided defeat in each of their last 12 home league matches against this opponent (W10 D2 L0). Leicester have only beaten the Reds twice in their last 12 Premier League encounters (home or away), but have lost each of the last three ahead of this one.
Bookmakers seem to be expecting a lopsided contest here, with the hosts inserted as the shortest-priced favourites of any team on matchday 18. Let’s unpack some of the key stats and trends between these sides.

Liverpool - Leicester: Form Analysis
Liverpool enter this match off the back of a nine-goal Premier League classic, which they came out on top in, beating Tottenham Hotspur 6-3 on the road on Sunday evening.
That result took the Reds to 21 matches unbeaten across all competitions, while they have still only been defeated once this season, which was a home loss to Forest way back in mid-September.
The hosts have scored two or more goals in each of their last 10 home matches in all competitions and maintained clean sheets in four of their last five, two of which came in the Champions League.
Liverpool have the second-best attacking (37 goals) and best defensive records (16 goals against) this season!
Meanwhile, Leicester City suffered a deflating defeat in their last match, losing 3-0 to fellow relegation candidates Wolverhampton Wanderers at home over the weekend.
That defeat followed a 4-0 loss to Newcastle United and was the sixth time in the last seven league games that the side conceded two or more goals. The Foxes now have the second-worst defensive record in the league with 37 goals conceded.
The visitors have earned only five points from eight games on the road this season and shipped two or more goals in all but one of those matches, including a total of 10 in their last three alone.

Liverpool & Leicester Squad Analysis
Arne Slot revealed in a press conference last week that Ibrahima Konate and Conor Bradley are still “in the red” and have not resumed training with the team. They will not be a part of the squad this week.
Aside from that, the Reds have no other known absentees, as they were able to welcome back Diogo Jota and Kostas Tsimikas from injury, and Andrew Robertson from suspension last week.
Mohamed Salah has directly contributed to 26 of Liverpool’s 37 Premier League games this season!
Mads Hermansen was unable to recover in time to make the starting lineup for Leicester last week, but reports suggest the shot-stopper is now back to full fitness and should feature in this one.
Wilfred Ndidi and Odsonne Edouard are still a few days away from a full return to the squad, while Abdul Fatawu (knee) and Ricardo Pereira (hamstring) will remain sidelined for the forseeable future.
On a positive note, Harry Winks returned from injury and came off the bench against Wolves. He could be in line for a starting berth in midfield this week.

Our Liverpool vs Leicester Prediction
Given the gulf in class between these sides this season, it’s unsurprising to see Liverpool inserted as such short-priced favourites to win what would be their 13th match in 17 in the top flight.
That means, though, there is very little value to be had on the win/ loss market, but what does look like a potentially tempting offer is for Mo Salah to find the net again, having already done so 15 times this term. Against one of the weakest defences in the division, we feel the Egyptian King will be able to add to his tally in this one. Our Liverpool vs Leicester City prediction is Mohamed Salah to score anytime.
Liverpool vs Leicester - Other Interesting Predictions
Diogo Jota to score anytime
Diogo Jota is averaging 1.94 shots on goal, 0.71 shots on target, and 0.51 goals per 90 this season. Additionally, the Portuguese attacker is expected to start this match and has netted three in his last four appearances against this opponent.
