TEAMS PREVIEW

Leicester City Preview

As Liverpool march towards the title, Leicester's descent into the Championship seems inevitable. Even a stunning upset over the relentless leaders may not be enough to save them, with just five games left to turn the tide. As it stands, the Foxes find themselves a daunting 17 points adrift of 17th-placed West Ham, a gap that seems almost impossible to bridge. 

However, on Sunday, Leicester faces a different kind of battle—avoiding the humiliation of becoming the first team in English Football League history to go nine straight home games without scoring. Only Mansfield Town and Wolves have come close, but both were in the lower leagues. The Foxes will be desperate to rewrite that chapter. 

Leicester don’t have the best luck on Easter Sunday — they’ve played twice in the league on that day and lost both times: a 3-0 thumping by West Ham in 1993 and a 2-1 defeat to Newcastle in 2022.

Team News 

Leicester got a selection boost ahead of the weekend game, with Wout Faes and teenage record-breaker Jeremy Monga back from injuries. In addition, Victor Kristiansen and Facundo Buonanotte are also expected to return, but Harry Winks (suspended) and Abdul Fatawu (knee) remain sidelined.

Leicester City Probable XI - Alisson(GK); Bradley, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Gravenberch, Mac Allister; Salah, Szoboszlai, Diaz; Gakpo

Liverpool FC Preview

The Reds stand on the brink of glory, just two wins away from reclaiming the Premier League crown for the first time since their triumphant 2019/20 campaign. In fact, one win on Sunday could seal it—if Arsenal slip up against Ipswich, Liverpool could be champions by nightfall. 

They might've wrapped it up earlier if not for a dip in form—recently falling 3-2 to Fulham and dropping crucial points with draws back in February. Nonetheless, last week's dramatic 89th-minute winner against West Ham proved the hunger is back—Slot's men mean business and are eager to seal the title without delay.

Mohamed Salah has been nothing short of sensational in Liverpool’s title charge this season. The Egyptian king has scored in all five league games against promoted sides—seven goals in total—and stands on the brink of history as no player has ever netted in six such matches in a single campaign.

With 27 goals and 18 assists, Salah’s 45 goal involvements set a new Premier League record for a 38-game season. And he’s not done yet—he’s just a goal or assist away from rewriting the record books for most goal contributions away from home too. With Salah ending  his G/A drought—stretching back to February—with a timely strike against West Ham last Sunday, he’s perfectly poised to break those G/A records this Sunday. 

Team News 

Liverpool are boosted by the return of Trent Alexander-Arnold and Darwin Núñez from injury, adding firepower and flair just in time for the run-in. However, Joe Gomez and Tyler Morton continue to remain sidelined.

LEICESTER CITY vs LIVERPOOL FC
Winning Prediction

Leicester may have ended their eight-game run without a win, but they are still on a horrendous run of home games. Ruud van Nistelrooy’s side have lost their last eight home Premier League games without scoring a single goal, a record run in English top-flight history. 

Only six teams have ever lost nine home games in a row in the PL with Southampton being the last to do so. Thus, Leicester's focus will be about hunting that crucial goal, knowing it could mean everything. But for Liverpool, riding a four-game winning streak against the Foxes, the mission is clear: three points, no compromises.
