Liverpool vs Leicester verdict (2:15 pm on Nov 23): Compensation?

Up to this point, it can be seen that Liverpool is still coping well with the storm of trauma. After Virgil van Dijk was hit at the end of the season by a serious knee problem in their 2-2 draw with Everton in mid-October, The Kop won the next five games before an acceptable 1-1 draw with Man. City in visiting field.

A number of Liverpool players followed in Van Dijk’s footsteps and got injured

In the Champions League, with 9 points obtained after the first 3 games, Liverpool considered one foot in the round of 16. In the Premier League, the team led by Jurgen Klopp climbed to third place, just 1 point behind leader Leicester.

On Sunday night Liverpool will face Leicester themselves at home. Despite his good achievements in the past, ironically, his injury problems are getting worse and worse. After Van Dijk, it was the turn of other Liverpool defensive players like Fabinho, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Joe Gomez to befriend the hospital.

In particular, Gomez is also suspected of the possibility of re-export before the end of the 2020-21 season. More recently, it was Rhys Williams’s turn to get injured when he met England U21. Coach Klopp has no choice but to do it, but Nathaniel Phillips doesn’t have much experience with Joel Matip at midfield.

Mo Salah was unable to attend the match against Leicester due to a Covid-19 infection

It takes a lot of effort, Andy Robertson, to recover in time for Liverpool not to lose the whole quartet. However, there are still many doubts for The Kop before the great war with Leicester.

Their public goods, despite Mo Salah’s failure to be positive for Covid-19, weren’t really concerned when rookie Diogo Jota merged very quickly. But certainly solving Leicester in extremely high form is not easy.

Leicester was upset

In the last 6 matches in all competitions, Leicester have won. In the context of championship candidates like Manchester City or Liverpool who have all the problems, “The Fox” took advantage of it to rise to the top of the table.

The next game will be a real test against Leicester. Against the background of many weird things happening in the Premier League, Coach Klopp assessed that there were eight teams that considered themselves tournament champions. He said at a press conference:

“I think the number of candidates to win the Premier League this season could reach 8. An open race? I do not have any problem with that. That’s perfectly fine. “

Of course, among the champions that Klopp mentioned, Leicester is indispensable, the team is leading. But in the near future, if he loses to Liverpool, he will definitely lose his position at the hands of his direct opponent.

Klopp had a lot of worries before wishing Rodgers

Note that The Kop are currently undefeated in 63 home games and need one more game to set the record in club history. But ironically, their old record of 63 games from February 1978 to December 1980 was stopped by Leicester himself.

Furthermore, “The Fox” is also one of the two teams to leave Anfield in the last 38 matches here (Premier League only). Liverpool have scored in all 38 games, which is also a club record. But in the opposite direction, they conceded in the last 6 home games.

In terms of the number of goals lost, number 16 after Liverpool’s 8 games is just under two recruits Leeds United and West Brom. Thirteen games from last season to now, the Red Brigade has only kept a clean sheet once. 11 of his 16 goals lost came in the first half.

Liverpool vs Leicester promises to be very attractive

That’s something that Leicester can rely on and take advantage of when heading to Anfield. Since winning the 2015-16 Premier League season until now, “Fox” has re-entered a round as the head of the group. There have been gossip about how they can repeat the feat.

Coach Rodgers was quick to deny, exactly as his predecessor Ranieri did a few years ago. But the fact is, Leicester is off to its best start with 18 points from eight games, better than the 2015-16 championship season with four of which were away wins.

Beating Liverpool, Leicester will set a record for the longest win streak away from the club’s longest home run. The confidence of the team led by Rodgers increases if they know that they have defeated both Man City and Arsenal in the opposite half.

However, if there is 1 point left to leave Anfield, the Leicester members must also be very satisfied. With Liverpool’s defense shattered, the visiting team can reach the goal.

Guess: Liverpool 2-2 Leicester
