Leicester v Liverpool

Leicester vs Liverpool Preview

Leicester City were dealt a heavy 5-3 defeat away from home at Fulham last Monday night but although The Foxes return to the familiar surroundings of their King Power Stadium for this upcoming Monday night game in the Premier League, it could be a case of going from the frying pan into the fire as in-form Liverpool come to town.

Leicester City have managed to capture just one win out of their last 13 matches overall in the English top flight and this came in the form of a 2-1 home win against Wolves but aside from that, the east midlands club have had little else to cheer about in recent times, as they've lost nine of these previous 13 games.

As a result, Leicester have dropped down into the bottom three again where they are two points adrift of Everton and safety but another Merseyside club could also impact upon Leicester's plans for survival in the top flight on Monday night as The Foxes have conceded at least once in each of their last 20 matches and Liverpool have regained form again.

Onto Liverpool, and the visitors bring an impressive six-match winning streak into Monday night's clash at the King Power Stadium and it's highly unlikely that Jurgen Klopp's men will stop there as they chase down a possible Champions League spot for next season.

This prospect looked pretty unlikely at the turn of the year as Liverpool had lost three of their opening four games of 2023, losing to Brentford, Brighton and Wolves, each of which were away from home and indeed, by the start of February, Liverpool found themselves languishing in a disappointing mid-table position of 10th place.

However, The Reds have embarked upon a potentially season-saving six-match winning streak which includes wins on the road at Leeds United and West Ham, so this upcoming trip to face Leicester City isn't likely to faze the visitors too much.

Interestingly, Liverpool's last two away games of this season's Premier League campaign look to be very winnable games at Leicester City and then bottom club, Southampton, and as Liverpool have scored in their last seven games overall, the visitors look in good shape for the three points here.

Leicester City v Liverpool Verdict

Leicester City can't seem to buy a win for love nor money at the moment and this is in stark contrast to the form showed by their visitors, Liverpool, in recent weeks so it looks like The Foxes will have their work cut out here.

Liverpool have won four of the previous six meetings against Leicester City and The Reds look in formidable form right now.

Therefore, our main bet will be Liverpool win @ 1.57

Other side bets worth considering:

Liverpool win & Under 3.5 goals @ 2.87

Correct score: Liverpool 1-0 @ 12.00
