Liverpool Team News
The Reds are hoping to finalize the contract with Cody Gakpa these days. The 23-year-old winger from the Netherlands needs Liverpool to speed up their attacks from the flanks. Until that happens, they enter matches with a team whose game is like a child’s seesaw. A little up, a little down. Four games this month showed all the colors of this Premier League. They beat Aston Villa 3:1, lost to Lyon 3:1, and Manchester City in the EFL Cup 3:2.
However, in the league part of the competition, they scored three victories after two consecutive defeats. Success from the West Midlands did not move them up the Premier League table. They are still in sixth place with 25 points from 15 games. Fourth place in the table leads to next year’s Champions League, and Tottenham is five points more, which is an achievable goal for the Reds if they recover from an awful start to the season. They are expected to play against Wolves, Brighton, and Brentford in the next period after the clash with Leicester. This is an opportunity for Jurgen Klopp’s team to show both desire and maturity.
Leicester City Team News
Leicester City has fallen 13th place in the Premier League table. They have 17 points from 16 games and are much closer to the bottom than the top. Only five points separate them from last place, where Southampton is now. After the break, the first game in the league did not show a positive trend for this team. The relentless Newscatsle scored three goals against them, not giving them even half a mature chance in front of their goalkeeper.
In the EFL Cup, they beat MK Dons with a score of 0:3, but this opponent is of much lower caliber than in the elite competition. During the break, Leicester City drew 0:0 with Troyes in friendly matches, and that was when the world was looking in the direction of Qatar.
Statistics, however, show that Leicester City still has some chances. They have a streak of four consecutive victories away from home in various competitions. After Liverpool, they have commitments in cup competitions, and in the league part, they travel to Nottingham Forest and welcome Brighton. If they want to save themselves from the bottom of the table, these are the matches in which they must look for success.

Liverpool vs Leicester City Prediction
Liverpool has an admirable goal difference of +13 this season. We expect a lot of involvement from them in front of Leicester’s goal, and in this match, we expect only one team to score. It will likely be the host because Leicester will look for their chance on the counterattack.
