Liverpool and Leicester are preparing to end 2022, a difficult year for each of the two teams, and are looking to make up for it with one last positive impression in front of the fans.
Liverpool, who are sixth in the table with 25 points from 15 games, are coming off a 3-1 (d) win over Aston Villa on Boxing Day but remain five points behind fourth-placed Liverpool and last in the tournament table. UEFA Champions League.
Jurgen Klopp’s Cormorants have won four straight at home in all competitions, with Roberto Firmino and Mohamed Salah as the team’s top scorers with seven goals each.
Liverpool also qualified for the 1/8 finals of the UEFA Champions League, where they will face Real Madrid in a replay of the final, which they lost 0-1 in Paris on 28 May 2022 (Wini Jr. scored in the 59th minute).
Leicester, 13th in the table with 17 points from 17 games, won four of the last five legs played before the league break, results that lifted them out of the danger zone, but they lost in the first round after the international break 0-3 at home to Newcastle United.
Brendan Rodgers’ top scorer is James Maddison with seven goals from a team-high 25, but there are big problems in defense with four defenders missing in James Justin, Ricardo Pereira, Jonny Evans and Ryan Bertrand.
Brendan Rodgers coached Liverpool from 2012-2015 (at 39 he became the team’s youngest manager since Graham Souness) and his best performance came in the 2013-2014 season when he incredibly missed out on the title in three finals (2nd place, trailing Manchester City by two points).
