Liverpool vs Leicester LIVE!
The Premier League’s Boxing Day schedule concludes at Anfield tonight as Liverpool take on Leicester. The dominant Reds went into Christmas 4 points clear of nearest rivals Chelsea in the most sensible place in the league. table after Sunday’s chaotic 6-3 defeat to Tottenham, and there is a chance to add to that merit after Enzo Maresca’s side were beaten by Fulham earlier today.
Arne Slot’s side will be firm favourites to rack up another victory this evening against struggling Leicester, who sat 17th ahead of the festive break and only two points above the relegation zone. Manchester United legend Ruud van Nistelrooy’s managerial tenure began with an impressive win over West Ham, but the honeymoon period is now well and truly over after consecutive heavy defeats by Newcastle and fellow strugglers Wolves.

Liverpool vs Leicester latest news
I work for Liverpool!
They are seven points clear at the top of the Premier League, they really are in control of this title race.
Leicester impressed in the first-half, but that equaliser before the break really hurt them.
90 7 minutes: Leicester finally started to realise that Gakpo might need an inside cut from the left flank.
But I can make a mistake. It’s a bit ruthless to play those nine minutes of added time.
90+3 mins: Salah just overhits the pass to Jota, which allows Vestergaard to get across and poke it behind for a corner.
Liverpool do not seem satisfied with a 3-1. . .
90 mins: Nine minutes added on.
The Leicester players seem delighted.
88 minutes: Robertson and Gravenberch give way, they will gain advantages with a few more minutes of rest.
Leicester look more than ready for the final whistle now. Gave a lot in the first-half, but Liverpool have stepped it up since the break.
84 minutes: Slot will return to his bank, the task that is now performed most frequently.
Endo and Tsimikas prepare to enter.
GAME OVER!
That will be enough for Liverpool. Salah in this channel on the right wing, jumps into the area and with his left foot. . . you know what happens from there.
Wrapped in the back corner, great finish.
79 minutes: Szoboszlai has been active for a few seconds and is already in the book. Yellow card for preventing the counterattack.
He is now suspended for Liverpool’s next match against West Ham.
77 minutes: First adjustments of the night in Liverpool.
Szoboszlai is on to replace Jones, while Nunez makes way as Jota is introduced.
75 minutes: Alexander-Arnold fires a deflected shot under pressure. He is convinced that it was a corner, say the referees, from a goal kick.
Leicester tries to play from the back. I would recommend that maybe they need that part. Coady almost made a pass into his own goal, the goalkeeper almost cut it off.
