Arne Slot of Liverpool

Liverpool host Leicester to round off a fun festive feast of Premier League action.

With Chelsea dropping points to Fulham earlier in the day, Arne Slot’s side have the chance to extend their lead at the top of the table.

But Leicester are a different team under Ruud van Nistelrooy compared to Steve Cooper.

They can be dangerous on the break, so Liverpool will need to be careful in front of an expectant Anfield crowd.

Read on to see how both teams line-up.
