Liverpool VS Leicester City
Saturday (30/12/2017)
16:00 (WAT)
Jurgen Klopp's side fired five past Swansea City on Boxing Day and our tipster thinks that the Reds could get amongst the goals again in this match
Liverpool can round off 2017 in style with victory against Leicester City at Anfield on Saturday afternoon.

The Reds routed Swansea City on Boxing Day, enjoying an emphatic 5-0 victory and, having gone 14 matches without defeat in all competitions, Jurgen Klopp will demand another big performance from his side here.

Liverpool, of course, are big favourites to maintain momentum on Merseyside with victory here. The Reds justify that favouritism by taking all three points against the Foxes; half of Liverpool's last eight Premier League matches on their own patch has ended all square on this occasion.

Leicester had been performing well under the stewardship of former Southampton boss Claude Puel, who took up the reins at King Power Stadium back in October.

The Foxes, though, have failed to win any of their last four fixtures in all competitions and they suffered a bitterly disappointing defeat at the hands of Watford at Vicarage Road on Boxing Day; Anfield is surely one of the toughest venues in the top tier to visit at the present time and, accordingly, the odds compilers offer a chunky that Leicester prevail on Merseyside.


Remarkably, Liverpool's fantastic 5-0 win against Swansea City on Tuesday evening saw the Reds score at least three times in a 13th consecutive fixture that they have won.

With Mohamed Salah, Philippe Coutinho and Roberto Firmino all in outstanding form, the Reds are certainly tough to contain and the Foxes could face a long afternoon when they make the trip to meet Klopp's men.

Leicester certainly pack a punch themselves; Puel's men have notched eight goals in their last three Premier League matches away from home, while the Foxes have found the net in seven of their last eight games on the road in this competition.
