Leicester Hope to Bounce Back at Home as Liverpool Aim to Win Again and Stay on Top
Leicester City are gearing up to face Liverpool in a highly anticipated Premier League clash set for Sunday evening, with kick-off scheduled for 4:30 pm Nigerian time. The Foxes come into this game after a 2-2 draw with Brighton, while Liverpool edged past West Ham 2-1 in their last outing.
When these two sides last met back in December, Liverpool came out on top with a 3-1 win at Anfield, with goals from Cody Gakpo, Curtis Jones, and Mohamed Salah sealing the victory. This time around, Liverpool boss Arne Slot will have to make do without Joe Gomez and Tyler Morton, both sidelined due to injury.
The Reds currently sit at the top of the Premier League table, 13 points clear of Arsenal, with less than six games left to wrap up the season.
For Leicester, it’s a crucial game as they try to steer clear of relegation. They’re currently 19th on the table, just above Southampton. However, there’s a bit of good news for the home side—Ruud Van Nistelrooy confirmed that both Wout Faes and Jeremy Monga are back in the squad after recovering from minor knocks.
It’s more than just three points at stake. Van Nistelrooy will be pushing for a strong performance at the King Power Stadium as he looks to turn the tide against a Liverpool team aiming to complete the double and stretch their lead even further.
Former Manchester United player, Jesse Lingard, has revealed that he has mutually agreed to leave FC Seoul and his contract will end. It is reported that he will leave next week.
It can be noted that the footballer joined in February 2024 and has made 66 appearances since then, scoring 18 goals.
The player shared his experience on social media, saying “My time in South Korea has been unbelievable — the football, the atmosphere, and the passion around this club have been top class.”
“The love, support, and appreciation you have shown towards me over these last two years has been truly amazing. I’ll always be grateful for the opportunity to play for such a massive club.”
Former footballer, Rio Ferdinand compares Arsenal star player, Bukayo Saka, to Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah.
When comparing players, he shared that: “When Saka is on it, he looks unplayable,” however he also stated that even with Salah’s stature, he is strong.
He has got the strength like Mohamed Salah. He is small in frame and size when you look at him, but do you ever see him get pushed off the ball?
“You don’t really see people take the ball off him or put him on his arse. He is a strong little guy.”
Former Chelsea player Frank Leboeuf speaks on recent league matches and names two clubs that can really challenge Arsenal this season, Manchester City and Chelsea.
During a recent interview when speaking about Arsenal, he shared “They are still the big favourites [for the title], but they will have to prove it. They lost four points against Sunderland and Chelsea. Manchester City are back, Chelsea are still there.”
“We will have the winter period, which will start very soon, so let’s see,” he said.
