Liverpool are edging ever closer to Premier League glory under Arne Slot, and Sunday’s trip to Leicester could prove decisive. With 6 games left, the Reds have carved out a commanding 13-point lead at the summit, and a win at the King Power—coupled with an Arsenal slip—could seal the title.
Slot’s side have been near-invincible on the road, boasting the league’s best away record with just a single defeat in 16 matches. Their relentless consistency has made them the team to beat, and their recent form reflects that— a single defeat from their last 5 league games.
Leicester, on the other hand, are battling for survival with little light at the end of the tunnel. Ruud van Nistelrooy’s men sit 19th in the table, with a dismal 18 points from 32 matches. Last weekend’s 2-2 draw against Brighton did break an eight-game goalless losing streak, but they are still 17 points adrift of safety and could be mathematically relegated with a loss to Liverpool.
Injured/Sidelined players for Liverpool include : Darwin Nunez, Joe Gomez, Trent Alexander-Arnold (doubtful). While that ofLeicester City are: Wout Faes, Abdul Fatawu, Harry Souttar, Harry Winks according to Livescore.com
History doesn’t offer much comfort for the Foxes either. In their last 10 meetings in all competitions, Liverpool have won 7, drawn 1, and lost just 2. As the Reds march forward with a title in sight, Leicester’s top-flight future hangs by a thread.
