Leicester vs Liverpool: Lineups, team news, confirmed starting teams as Szoboszlai, Gakpo, Alexander-Arnold return

Liverpool will move a step towards the Premier League title on Sunday if they win at a Leicester City side who have lost their last eight home league matches without scoring.

The Reds led The Gunners by 13 points at the start of Sunday with six games remaining and need a maximum of two wins to complete a near-perfect league season.

Second-bottom Leicester are on the brink of relegation and last won at home in the league on December 3.

Leicester lineup vs Liverpool

Leicester defender Wout Faes and 15-year-old winger Jeremy Monga return from the minor issues that kept them out of last Saturday’s draw 2-2 draw Brighton and Hove Albion.

Faes is among the starters alongside the restored Ricardo Pereira and Bobby De Cordova-Reid.

The Foxes have endured a miserable return to the top flight and will be relegated back to the Championship if they fail to win.

Victory for Ruud van Nistelrooy’s side would be an almighty shock, and all the numbers from their poor campaign point to Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk celebrating his new contract in style.

Leicester starting XI: Hermansen, Ricardo, Faes, Coady, Thomas, Ndidi, Soumaré, Mavididi, De Cordova-Reid, El Khannouss, Vardy

Leicester City subs: Justin, Kristiansen, Okoli, Skipp, Buonanotte, Ayew, Monga, Daka, Stolarczyk

Premier League title race: Arne Slot trophies

Liverpool manager Arne Slot Slot succeeded ex-Netherlands manager Dick Advocaat at former club Feyenoord before the start of the 2021/22 season, leading them to third in the top flight and the inaugural Conference League final.

The 45-year-old won the Eredivisie by seven points ahead of PSV in 2022/23 and lifted the Dutch Cup the following season.

He won the Eredivisie Manager of the Year award in both of his campaigns in charge. Feyenoord finished seven points behind PSV in 2023/24, losing two of their 34 league games.

The Dutchman also won the second tier in his homeland as a midfielder for Zwolle in 2001/02 and 2011/12.
