EPL: Leicester City v Liverpool preview


Leicester City v Liverpool preview

Leicester boss Craig Shakespeare could be without striker Jamie Vardy, as the Foxes look for their second win over Liverpool this week.


England international Vardy is still trying to overcome a groin strain and the injury problem forced him to miss Tuesday’s Carabao Cup win.

Goals from Shinji Okazaki and Islam Slimani ensured the Foxes secured a tie against Leeds United in the next round, but the Reds will be out for revenge on Saturday evening.

Shakespeare may have to make a number of changes, with several first-team stars facing late fitness tests. Defender Christian Fuchs, midfielder Matty James and striker Leonardo Ulloa are all doubts ahead of kick-off.

Liverpool have fitness worries of their own, with centre back Dejan Lovren a major doubt due to a back issue. The Croatian has missed the last two games, while Joel Matip sustained a knock against Burnley last weekend.

Midfielder Emre Can may also have a late fitness check to prove his fitness and coach Jurgen Klopp will be hoping he can feature, as the Reds look to end their poor recent run of form.

Klopp's men are without a win in their last four matches in all competitions and a Leicester win would see them move to within one point of their opponents.

Meanwhile, Leicester are looking for their third straight home league win over Liverpool, something they have not done since 1931.
