Leicester vs Liverpool Preview: Jan Molby Predicts 2-0 Reds Victory

Focus Sharpens as Liverpool Close in on the Title

As Liverpool edge closer to securing the Premier League title, Jan Molby and Trev Downey took time on the latest Molby On The Spot podcast (Anfield Index) to preview Sunday’s crucial clash away at Leicester City. With just two wins needed to wrap up the league, Molby was confident—but not complacent.

“They don’t score many goals, Leicester,” Molby observed. “I think it’ll be Leicester City 0-2 Liverpool.”

It’s the sort of pragmatic, quietly confident prediction that fits the tone of Liverpool’s late-season momentum under Arne Slot. The Reds, who have dropped points rarely this campaign, will approach the match knowing that any slip-up could still open the door to their rivals.

Leicester’s Struggles: “A Tale of Doom”

Molby was clear in his assessment of Leicester’s season: “It’s been a tale of doom.” Sitting at the bottom of the table on just 18 points, Leicester look like a club in freefall.

Downey, running through their recent results, pointed out the depth of their issues: “They’ve had some dubious results… beaten by Newcastle, United, Chelsea, West Ham. It’s not been a good year in any way, shape or form.”

Molby added, “They don’t have a squad that can defend. That Leicester team wasn’t built for a relegation fight—it was built to play possession football. And then they brought in Steve Cooper, a defensive manager. That was always going to be trouble.”

Liverpool’s Mindset: Eyes on the Prize

Despite Leicester’s form, Molby was adamant Liverpool couldn’t afford to take anything for granted. “You do fight to the end,” he said of Leicester. “It’s the most demoralising thing in the world to be relegated. For as long as you can delay it, you do.”

But he doesn’t believe Liverpool will get dragged into any chaos. “I can’t see us starting to run up four or fives,” Molby said. “I think it’ll be professional. 2-0.”

Downey agreed, noting the strength of Liverpool’s mentality: “It’s a super position to be in. Two wins and it’s done. It’s all there now.”

The Bigger Picture

Beyond the Leicester match itself, the tone of the podcast made it clear: Liverpool have learned from past near-misses. The emphasis from Molby was not on flair but on finishing the job.

“I know you’ve said it before,” said Downey, “you feel like it’s a job that should get done.”

Molby nodded to the pressures of past seasons but stressed Liverpool now have the experience to handle the run-in. Leicester might still be scrapping, but Liverpool are in control.
