Leicester City are set to play host to Liverpool at the King Power Stadium on Saturday for their latest English Premier League fixture.
Leicester City come into this game on the back of a 1-0 win over Graham Potter's Brighton & Hove Albion yesterday in the 5th round of the FA Cup. A late second-half goal from Nigerian striker Kelechi Iheanacho ensured victory for the Foxes.
Liverpool, on the other hand, were thrashed 4-1 by Pep Guardiola's Manchester City last Sunday in the English Premier League. A brace from in-form German midfielder Ilkay Gundogan and goals from England internationals Raheem Sterling and Phil Foden secured the win for Manchester City. Egyptian forward Mohamed Salah scored the consolation goal for Liverpool.
