Daily Tips
Liverpool will be keen to make it three consecutive wins on Friday when they host Leicester City at Anfield. The Reds returned to top-flight duties with a 3-1 success away at Aston Villa on Boxing Day, while the visitors were put to the sword 3-0 by a rampant Newcastle United.
A healthy four points still separates the 13th-placed Foxes from the drop zone, so the visitors to Anfield will enter 2023 above the dotted line no matter what transpires in this week’s fixtures, but this calendar year will not be looked back on too fondly by those in blue.
Team news
Roberto Firmino and James Milner are on the verge of regaining full fitness but Friday’s outing may come too soon. Curtis Jones is also nearing a return.
Diogo Jota, Arthur Melo and Luis Diaz are set to remain sidelined throughout January and beyond. However, Ibrahima Konate could be considered available once again after his late return from the World Cup with beaten finalists France.
Dennis Praet joined a lengthy injury list after limping off inside the opening 20 minutes of Leicester’s defeat to Newcastle on Boxing Day.
Neither Ryan Bertrand (knee) nor James Justin (Achilles) is near a return to any Premier League pitch. Ricardo Pereira, however, could be back as soon as the middle of January.
Captain Jonny Evans will ‘be out for a period of time’ with a calf issue according to Rodgers. Leicester’s leading scorer James Maddison is also a doubt as he continues to nurse a nagging knee problem.
Verdict
Liverpool navigated the eminently tricky task of an away trip to Unai Emery’s Aston Villa impressively and should have enough to overcome a Leicester side that could be without their talismanic attacking thrust.
