Prediction, Odds & Betting tips for Liverpool vs. Leicester City at EPL.
The Reds restarted the EPL with a win in Birmingham over Aston Villa, covering up the loss and the elimination from the Carabao Cup. this was a huge boost for Jurgen Klopp and his lads, who did look a bit deflated in the opening part of the campaign. They now have to bounce back and chase the top four spots, which leads to the UEFA Champions League next season. As for the Foxes, their EPL resume was tough, as Newcastle triumphed at the King Power stadium on Monday afternoon.
Liverpool
A 1-3 victory at Villa Park should bring a positive atmosphere to Anfield. Every time you beat Villa in its house, the level of happiness goes up for one bar. Liverpool’s fans are additionally happy for Cody Gakpo’s arrival, with the PSV forward maybe even debuting on Friday.
It seems that Darwin Nunez’s time is up and that Jurgen Klopp won’t be waiting for the Uruguayan to adjust. His misses and performances have been nothing short of a major disappointment.
If we count in the friendly games L’Pool played during the World Cup tournament, they have eight in the past ten with at least three goals, and seven of them ended with both teams netting, which only shows that the Reds still play amusing and enjoyable football.
Leicester City
Following a very good stretch that saw them winning in four of the last five EPL games, World Cup interrupted the Foxes’ solid form. Newcastle used that winning 0-3 this Monday, shocking the former champs with two early goals which determined the result and the course of the event early on.
The defense was once again pretty sluggish, but we will repeat that Leicester conceded early and couldn’t recover. It was only the second event in the last 10 in which the Foxes couldn’t keep its net intact.
The big problem for Rodgers is the fact that he probably won’t have James Maddison in this event, as well as several other notable players. Maddison is by far the best player in this team and someone whose absence will be dearly felt.
Liverpool: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Van Dijk, Robertson; Henderson, Fabinho, Thiago; Salah, Nunez, Carvalho
Leicester City: Ward; Castagne, Amartey, Faes, Thomas; Soumare, Tielemans, Dewsbury-Hall, Praet, Barnes; Daka
Both teams won last year at home. Liverpool was better and Anfield, 2-0, while Leicester triumphed at Kings Power, 1-0. Leicester didn’t post a victory at Anfield since 2000.
This should be an easy task for Liverpool, particularly due to Maddison’s absence. Even if he plays, the Reds are absolute favorites and are bound to triumph because the difference in quality is too big, plus they always perform much better at home than on the road.
Our verdict: Liverpool wins
