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 footballer Thierry Henry has shared his thoughts on Arsenal’s match following their loss to Atlético Madrid on October 13.
Speaking during a brief interview on CBS Sports, Henry criticised the practice of players or coaches expressing certain opinions through the media instead of addressing issues directly within the dressing room.
“I’m not a coach anymore, but I always say, whoever speaks like that, out. Keep that in the dressing room, it’s as simple as that,” Henry said on CBS Sports.
“That is the only way it can work. You have to say those things to a person’s face… going through the press, I am not really a fan of that.”
Paris Saint-Germain manager Luis Enrique has shared his thoughts on the 2026 Ballon d’Or award, revealing that he hopes the winner will come from his team.
The manager spoke about how hard his players have worked and expressed his belief that they deserve the recognition.
“What I hope is that we win this trophy. We have players who deserve it.”
“Last year, we were the best team. We showed that it wasn’t just Ousmane Dembélé who deserved it.”
French football pundit Walid Acherchour has named Lamine Yamal as his pick to win the 2026 Ballon d’Or, sparking reactions among football fans.
Acherchour’s choice came as a surprise to some fans, who expected him to support fellow Frenchman Kylian Mbappé instead.
Speaking about his prediction, Acherchour expressed confidence in Yamal’s chances of winning the prestigious individual award.
“For me, Lamine Yamal, he is going to get it [2026 Ballon d’Or]. For me, there’s no doubt anymore,” Acherchour said, as quoted by Actu Foot. That start to the season shows that in fact, he was injured during the World Cup. He was the best player in La Liga, and he won the World Cup.
“Even if, for me, in fact, he doesn’t have the Ballon d’Or unanimously because his World Cup was average, even being average, he won it with Spain. He won La Liga with Barça.”
