Leicester City – Liverpool FC
As the 36th Premier League matchday draws to a close, the Foxes of Leicester welcome Liverpool to the Kings Power Stadium. In the midst of a relegation battle and without a win in their last three games, the hosts will try to break their opponents’ impressive winning streak and secure some crucial points.
Nevertheless, the Reds, led by Jürgen Klopp, have a clear goal in mind: they want to put pressure on the leading quartet and continue to dream of the Champions League. Given the Foxes’ lack of form, they will give everything to secure their seventh consecutive victory. Find out who we think will come out on top in our Leicester – Liverpool betting tips.

Leicester Form & Balance Check
Midst the relegation battle, the Foxes still haven’t got to grips with their biggest weakness – their own defence – as was impressively seen in their matchday 36 defeat to Fullham (3:5). Nevertheless, the defeats of Leeds and Everton on the last matchday mean that they are still in the race for 17th place in the Premier League, which means staying in the relegation zone.
Relegation inevitable?
Facing a confident Reds side, Leicester will be looking to pull off a minor miracle to regain momentum for the final two fixtures of the season. With clashes against Newcastle and the equally relegation-threatened Hammers from West Ham still to come, the Foxes will need to do exceptional things in the season-ender if they are to stay in League One.
Leicester facts & analysis
- 19th place in Premier League table
- No win from last three games
- 21 defeats in Premier League season
Liverpool form & balance check
Liverpool have kept it exciting for a very long time, but currently it looks quite likely that the Reds will be represented internationally next season. After a season that was as inconsistent as it was disappointing, the Reds have flipped the switch and won six of their last six games.
Now Jürgen Klopp and his team are in 5th place in the table. With three games left to play and only four points off the top flight, Liverpool will be looking to use the final spurt of the season to fight for a place in the Champions League.
Bülter loves it late
The Reds still have to face Aston Villa and Southampton in the final sprint and it should be possible to overtake Manchester United and Newcastle on the finishing line. But first await the Foxes, who have more than their backs against the wall. Especially now that they have found their rhythm, they must not stumble but rely on their regained strength.
Liverpool facts & analysis
- Last 6 competitive games won in a row.
- Place 5 in Premier League
