The Premier League returns to the fold with another round of matches this week as Leicester City lock horns with Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool side in an important encounter at the King Power Stadium on Monday.
Football team Leicester City are currently in 19th place in the Premier League standings and have struggled so far this season. The Foxes slumped to a damaging 5-3 defeat at the hands of Fulham in their previous game and will need to bounce back this week.
Liverpool, on the other hand, are in fifth place in the league table at the moment and have improved after a slow start to their campaign. The Merseyside outfit edged Brentford to a 1-0 victory last week and will look to take it up a notch in this fixture.

Leicester City vs Liverpool Prediction
Liverpool have shown marked improvement over the past month and have an outside chance of securing a top-four place. The likes of Mohamed Salah and Darwin Nunez can pack a punch on their day and will look to be at their best this weekend.
Leicester City are fighting for their lives at the moment and cannot afford another debacle in this fixture. Liverpool are the better team on paper, however, and should be able to win this game.
Prediction: Leicester City 1-3 Liverpool

Leicester City vs Liverpool Team News
One minor positive for Smith on Monday was that his side picked up no fresh injury concerns – Jonny Evans was also fit enough to make the bench – leaving the hosts with a quartet of absentees for the visit of Liverpool.
Ryan Bertrand (fitness), James Justin (calf) and Jannik Vestergaard (calf) will watch the final three games of the season from the sidelines, while striker Kelechi Iheanacho (groin) is ahead of schedule in his recuperation and should be back in training next week, but Monday’s game will come too soon for him.
On the back of their harrowing afternoon in the capital, Smith will no doubt consider alterations in the forms of Tete, Patson Daka, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and the fit-again Ricardo Pereira, while Daniel Iversen – like most of those in blue – did not cover himself in glory against Fulham, but the Dane should keep Danny Ward at bay again.

We say: Leicester City 1-3 Liverpool
With plenty of attacking talent at their disposal, Leicester very rarely encounter any problems putting the ball in the back of the net, but ongoing deficiencies at the back will no doubt be exposed by a goal-happy Liverpool.
The King Power turf has not been kind to Klopp’s men in recent memory, but we can only envisage the Merseyside giants travelling home with another maximum and denting a leaky Leicester’s survival hopes further.
