Table-topping Reds close Boxing Day slate against struggling Foxes at Anfield
The Premier League schedule on Boxing Day concludes at Anfield tonight as Liverpool face Leicester. The dominant Reds went into Christmas sitting four points clear of nearest challengers Chelsea at the top of the table after Sunday’s chaotic 6-3 thrashing of Tottenham, and the chance is there to extend that advantage after Enzo Maresca’s side were beaten by Fulham earlier today.
Arne Slot’s side will be firm favourites to rack up another victory this evening against struggling Leicester, who sat 17th ahead of the festive break and only two points above the relegation zone. Manchester United legend Ruud van Nistelrooy’s managerial tenure began with an impressive win over West Ham, but the honeymoon period is now well and truly over after consecutive heavy defeats by Newcastle and fellow strugglers Wolves.
Liverpool have lost only one of their last 25 matches across all competitions, while Leicester have won only one of their last nine in the league and just two of the previous 12 against tonight’s opponents, losing nine. Follow Liverpool vs Leicester live below!
