Liverpool have a chance to close the gap on Premier League leaders Manchester City as they take on Leicester City this evening.
Clearly, Jurgen Klopp has a game in hand on Pep Guardiola but the statement Manchester City set on Boxing Day by beating Brendan Rodgers’ side 6-3 will be a tough one to match.
Indeed, Liverpool have it all to do in the title race as things stand.
Six points with a game in hand might not seem like a mountain climb but the kind of standards both Klopp and Guardiola have set over the last few years are so high, relying on any kind of slip-up is a risky game.
So, perhaps a Leicester side coming off of such a big beating represent the best of oppositions.
Date, kick-off time and venue
The Premier League game is scheduled for an 8pm GMT kick-off time today, Tuesday, December 28, 2021.
The King Power Stadium in Leicester will host.
