Liverpool will be looking for back-to-back Premier League wins when they host relegation hopefuls Leicester City in their next game on Thursday.
Arne Slot’s side continued their league form with a 6-3 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur in their last game, widening the gap between them and second-placed Chelsea to 4 points.
Leicester, for its part, was coming off a 3-0 loss to Wolves, its second consecutive loss in the Premier League.

This Premier League clash will take place at Anfield in Liverpool, England and kicks off on Thursday, December 26 at 8:00 p. m. time.
This is what it was like in the United States:
The positive news keeps on rolling for Slot, with no new injuries cited from the win at Spurs, although Conor Bradley and Ibrahima Konate remain sidelined until the start of January.
With such a quick switch between games, Slot could simply rotate his starting eleven, despite that very good performance in North London, with Kostas Tsimikas and Diogo Jota as possible starters.
Liverpool predicted XI (4-3-3, right to left): Alisson (GK) — Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, Van Dijk, Tsimikas — Szoboszlai, Mac Allister, Gravenberch — Salah, Jota, Diaz
Injured: Bradley (thigh), Konate (knee) Suspended: None
Van Nistelrooy expects first-choice goalkeeper Mads Hermansen to be fit but Danny Ward, criticized by Leicester fans after the Wolves defeat, remains on hold. Abdul Fatawu and Ricardo Pereira will be out until spring.
Wilfred Ndidi is still a few weeks away from a comeback but Van Nistelrooy could recall Caleb Okoli and Harry Winks in a rotated team.
Leicester City predicted XI (4-3-3, right to left): Ward (GK) — Justin, Okoli, Vestergaard, Kristiansen — Winks, Skipp, Soumare — Ayew, Vardy, Mavididi
Injured: Fatawu (knee), Pereira, Ndidi (two thighs), Hermansen (pelvis, doubt)Suspended: None
Liverpool are unbeaten in their last 12 Premier League games (W10 D2) against Leicester at Anfield.
This game should be an easy win for the Reds, who should bulldoze their way through a highly vulnerable Leicester and strengthen their foothold over first place.
