Find predictions, team news and betting tips for the Premier League match between Leicester City and Liverpool on Sunday 20th April (4:30pm BST).
Tip 1
The King Power Stadium has been a hunting ground for its visitors this season. The Foxes have gone eight games without scoring here, losing 11 of 16 on home turf, and to make matters worse, have lost 15 of their last 16 league matches in general.
Liverpool’s defeat to Fulham two games ago was only their second across the entire PL campaign, not to mention their first loss on the road in the top flight. They’ve won 10/16 on the road in this format, doing so without conceding on seven occasions.
It stands to reason that Leicester’s season are summarised by some damaging stats of having scored the second-fewest goals in the division with 27 – which equates to just 0.8 goals scored per game – while also ranking bottom for overall shots (286), shots per game (8.9), as well as for both of these metrics in regards to shots on target – 96 and 3 per game.

Tip 2
Although Mohamed Salah’s goals have dried up, especially when compared to his freakish output earlier in the season, he’s still contributing for his teammates at a healthy rate.
The Egyptian provided his 18th league assist of the campaign in last weekend’s win over West Ham and his 23rd across all competitions.
His latest service means he has set up a goal in five of his last nine PL outings and while odds of 2/1 aren’t the most attractive, there’s still enough to get behind with Leicester’s left flank statistically weaker than their right.
Ruud van Nistelrooy’s outfit picked up their first point for 10 games and only their fourth from the last 17 last Saturday afternoon in a 2-2 draw with Brighton. However, with only six more attempts available to get points on the board while lingering 17 points adrift suggests it’s just a matter of when, rather than if, they will return to the Championship.
Harry Souttar and Issahaku Fatawu remain absent for the Foxes through long-term injuries which have ruled them out beyond the current campaign.
Leicester Predicted XI: Hermansen; Justin, Okoli, Coady, Thomas; Ndidi, Soumare; McAteer, El Khannouss, Mavididi; Vardy.
Virgil van Dijk’s 89th-minute header has put the Reds within touching distance of the title, as Sunday could be the day for them to clinch it should Arsenal lose to Ipswich Town at 2pm.
This match looks to be around a week too soon for Trent Alexander-Arnold, who remains absent through injury alongside Joe Gomez and Tyler Morton for the visitors.
Liverpool Predicted XI: Alisson; Bradley, Konate, van Dijk; Robertson; Gravenberch, Mac Allister; Salah, Szoboszlai, Gakpo; Diaz.
