Liverpool Vs Leicester City - Preview, Stats and Prediction.

Source
Liverpool will face Leicester City at their home, Anfield on 30th of January. Liverpool have an excellent record at their home as they are now unbeaten in the last 32 fixtures at home. Both the teams have lost a few matches recently but the form of Leicester City is miserable at the moment and they will need some special effort from their players to make some impact in this fixture. Liverpool on the other hand managed two narrow wins against Brighton and Crystal Palace and they will be looking to step up their game and win this one comfortably.

LIVERPOOL

Source
Liverpool have just won two games out of their last four but they have an impressive record at home as they are undefeated in the last 32 matches at Anfield. They looked shaky at the back in a few matches but with Trent Alexander-Arnold and Joe Gomez almost back to full fitness, their back line will only get stronger. All the three forward players scored against Crystal Palace in their recent match which is a a big positive for the Reds.

Impact Players and Team News

Mohammed Salah has now scored 19 goals this season and he has three goals now in the last two matches. He scored the lone goal against Brighton and also netted two against Crystal Palace. Roberto Firmino also has been in great touch recently as he has scored five goals in the last five matches and his total tally is at 11 goals for the season. Virgil van Dijk has been rock solid at the back and he will play a crucial role in this fixture as well.
James Milner is suspended as he received two yellow cards in the last fixture against Crystal Palace. Wijnaldum is also back to full fitness along with Faninho and Dejan Lovren and all of them will be available for selection. Both Trent Alexander-Arnold and Joe Gomez have almost recovered and are expected to return soon.

LEICESTER CITY

Leicester did win their first game of the year against Everton but they have lost three games in a row since then. Leicester are out of the FA Cup and they also lost against Southampton 2-1 who were one player less than normal. They also lost to Wolves recently which speaks of their recent form. They haven't been able to score goals with their top scorer scoring only seven goals this season.

Impact Players and Team News

Jamie Vardy is Leicester's top scorer with seven goals this season and he is the man for Leicester City who can really make an impact in this fixture. James Maddison joined Leicester this season and he has been a very good addition to them and will be expected to step up against the mighty Liverpool.
Only Daniel Amartey is sidelined till March and barring him Leicester have a full strength squad to choose from. Jonny Evans returned in the last match when Harry Maguire limped off the the field.
