Liverpool XI vs Leicester City: planned roster, team news, injuries and latest Covid for Premier League | News Today

While the draw at Tottenham last weekend was somewhat disappointing, van Dijk and Fabinho in particular should provide Klopp with a much more solid foundation.

Indeed, the two are perhaps the most important defensive pillars of this Liverpool side at their best.

Thiago Alcantara also came out of his isolation after testing positive for Covid, although it remains to be seen whether or not he will be selected from the start.

After all, with all due respect to Leicester, Brendan Rodgers’ side aren’t exactly in a rich vein and will be missing key players themselves due to an unfortunate mix of positive Covid tests and injuries .

Liverpool predicted XI (4-3-3): Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Van Dijk, Konate, Tsimikas, Fabinho, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Keita, Salah, Firmino, Mane

Place: King Power Stadium
