Liverpool look to continue their fine run of form when they welcome Leicester City to Anfield on Boxing Day (8pm GMT).
The Reds top the table by five points at Christmas and are in a position not many expected. They delivered a barnstorming 6-3 win at Tottenham Hotspur last time out and now face a Leicester side who are just 17th. Ruud van Nistelrooy recently took charge of the Foxes but they suffered a sobering 3-0 home loss to relegation rivals Wolves in their previous game.
Still, head coach Arne Slot will demand that Liverpool’s standards to do not drop and for Leicester to be treated with the utmost respect. Ahead of the game, here is a look at the early team news for both sides.
