THE PREDICTION
Liverpool's injury crisis dramatically worsened over the international break, and it looks as though the champions are to set up using a makeshift back four of some lesser-known faces. Although the younger members of Liverpool's squad have been utilised before, and performed, it’s safe to say that, given the choice, Klopp would have preferred to use his more experienced players in a game such as this. Leicester will be looking to take advantage of the depleted looking Liverpool squad and will try and cause the defence problems throughout. Despite the circumstances, the Liverpool squad remains brimming with talent, so expect a close game, but the injury crisis couldn't have come at a worse time for Liverpool and don’t expect Leicester to hold back, who should just edge this game.
