According to Liverpool vs Leicester City H2H Stats, Liverpool have won two and lost three of their previous five matches against Leicester City. However, Liverpool have won five of their previous six home matches against Leicester City in all competitions.

Liverpool are undefeated in their last 12 home matches in the Premier League. While there have been over 2.5 goals scored in Leicester City’s last five league games, Liverpool have scored at least three goals in their previous three league fixtures, so it should be a high-scoring affair.

Liverpool’s defense has been their main problem this season, but with Virgil van Dijk’s arrival, that will be resolved soon – a 3-1 win for Liverpool will be the most likely result.
