Leicester City vs Liverpool: Betting Odds, Lineups, Predictions, Preview

Explore our detailed preview for Leicester vs Liverpool in the Premier League. Stats, odds, predictions, and lineups for the 16:30 BST match.

Fixture: Leicester vs Liverpool
Date: Sunday 20 April 2025
Kick-off: 16:30 BST
Venue: King Power Stadium

Leicester will likely adopt a defensive approach, looking to frustrate Liverpool and hit them on the counter. However, their lack of confidence and recent poor form suggest they will struggle to contain Liverpool's attacking threat.

Liverpool, on the other hand, will look to dominate possession and create numerous scoring opportunities. Despite missing key players, their squad depth and current form should see them through.

Liverpool are likely to start strongly, pressing high and looking to score early. Leicester might sit deep, trying to absorb pressure and hit on the break. If Liverpool scores early, they might control the game and look to add to their lead. Leicester could become more adventurous if they are chasing the game, but this might leave them vulnerable to counter-attacks.

Match Prediction: Leicester 0-3 Liverpool

Leicester City have been struggling to find form in the Premier League, with their recent performances reflecting a team fighting to avoid relegation. Their last five league matches have been a mix of draws and losses, showing a lack of consistency and firepower up front.

Leicester's form has been poor, with only one point from their last five league games. They have struggled to score, managing just two goals in these matches, and their defence has been leaky, conceding 11 goals.

Last 5 league matches:

• Draw: 2-2 vs Brighton (A)
• Loss: 0-3 vs Newcastle (H)
• Loss: 0-2 vs Man City (A)
• Loss: 0-3 vs Man United (H)
• Loss: 0-1 vs Chelsea (A)
  

Liverpool has been in excellent form, maintaining their position at the top of the Premier League table. Their recent performances have been characterised by strong attacking play and solid defending.

Liverpool have won four out of their last five Premier League matches, with their only loss coming away to Fulham. They have been prolific in front of goal, and have shown resilience in defence.

Last 5 league matches:

• Win: 2-1 vs West Ham (H)
• Loss: 2-3 vs Fulham (A)
• Win: 1-0 vs Everton (H)
• Win: 3-1 vs Southampton (H)
• Win: 2-0 vs Newcastle (H)
  

Historically, Liverpool have had the upper hand in matches against Leicester City. The recent head-to-head record shows a mix of results, but Liverpool have generally been the more dominant side.

Liverpool have won four out of the last five encounters, with Leicester managing just one victory at home. This trend suggests that Liverpool have a psychological edge over Leicester.

• Liverpool 3-1 Leicester (26 December 2024)
• Leicester 0-3 Liverpool (15 May 2023)
• Liverpool 2-1 Leicester (30 December 2022)
• Liverpool 2-0 Leicester (10 February 2022)
• Leicester 1-0 Liverpool (28 December 2021)
  

• Abdul Fatawu (Knee) - Out
• Wout Faes (Knock) - Doubtful
• Jeremy Monga (Ankle) - Out
• Harry Winks (Personal reasons) - Doubtful
• Harry Souttar (Ankle) - Out
• Odsonne Edouard (Knock) - Doubtful

Leicester's injury list is a concern, particularly the absence of Abdul Fatawu, who could have provided some much-needed creativity in midfield. Wout Faes is also doubtful, which could further weaken their defence.

• Joe Gomez (Hamstring) - Out
• Trent Alexander-Arnold (Ankle) - Doubtful

Liverpool could be without Joe Gomez and Trent Alexander-Arnold, which could impact their defensive stability. Liverpool's squad depth should help mitigate these losses, though.

Hermansen; Justin, Coady, Okoli, Thomas; Ndidi, Soumare; El Khannouss, Mavididi, McAteer; Vardy

Leicester are likely to set up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, focusing on counter-attacks and relying on the experience of Jamie Vardy to lead the line.

Alisson; Bradley, Konate, van Dijk, Robertson; Szoboszlai, Mac Allister, Gravenberch; Salah, Núñez, Diaz

Liverpool are expected to line up in a 4-3-3 formation, with a focus on high pressing and quick transitions. With the absence of Trent Alexander-Arnold, Conor Bradley is likely to fill in at right-back.

• Jamie Vardy vs Virgil van Dijk: Vardy's pace and movement could pose a threat to Liverpool's defence, but Van Dijk's experience and composure will be crucial in neutralising the Leicester striker.
• Mohamed Salah vs James Justin: Salah's form has been exceptional, and his battle with Justin on the wing will be a key contest. Justin will need to be at his best to contain Salah's attacking prowess.
• Wilfred Ndidi vs Alexis Mac Allister: Ndidi's role in breaking up play will be vital for Leicester, while Mac Allister's ability to control the midfield and distribute the ball will be essential for Liverpool.
  

• Liverpool have won their last four Premier League matches against Leicester, scoring 10 goals and conceding just 2 in these games.
• Leicester City have not beaten Liverpool at home in the Premier League since December 2021. However, they have won two of the last three home games in the Premier League against Liverpool.
