Liverpool v Leicester prediction
Liverpool got back to winning ways in the Premier League in emphatic fashion last weekend with a thrilling 6-3 win away at Tottenham to end a run two consecutive draws.
Victory for Arne Slot’s side saw them extend their lead at the top of the Premier League table to four points, whilst also having played a game fewer than all of the teams around them.
The Reds head into their Boxing Day clash as overwhelming favourites for victory at 1/12 with bet365, as they seek to get back to winning ways at Anfield after being held to a 2-2 draw by Fulham in their last outing in front of their home fans.
Leicester, having taken four points from their first two games under new manager Ruud van Nistelrooy, have since slipped to back to back 4-0 and 3-0 defeats, the latter of which came on Sunday at home against a Wolves side who started the day second from bottom.
The Foxes have fallen to within two points and just one place of the relegation zone after heading into Christmas, and a daunting away trip to the home of the league leaders isn’t the ideal fixture to snap out of their barren run, hence their price for victory being 22/1.
The East Midlands side have conceded more goals away from home in the league than any other Premier League side this season, while only two teams have picked up fewer points on the road.
Leicester have won just one of their last 10 matches in all competitions and have lost each of their last six games at Anfield, not having won there since 2000, losing 12 of the 14 games they’ve played there in that time.
With Liverpool scoring six away from home on the weekend and Leicester losing their last two games by a combined 7-0, Boxing Day night could be tough going for Leicester, who are expected to be on the receiving end of a hiding – I’m predicting 4-0 Liverpool.
Liverpool v Leicester betting tips
Mohamed Salah has 15 goals and 11 assists from his 16 Premier League appearances this season, having scored two and picked up two assists in the Reds’ thrashing of Tottenham last weekend.
The Egyptian now has 33 goal contributions in 26 games in all competitions this season, at least three more than any other player in Europe’s top five leagues.
