The Reds want to win their second match after the World Cup break in their first clash in front of their supporters. Keep track of the game against the Foxes here.

The English Premier League continues to give fans some interesting games in the final days of the year, and one that truly stands out will be the clash between Liverpool and Leicester City.

The Reds make it to this clash with one loss and one win since club football returned. Their first match ended in defeat against Manchester City in the League Cup, but they were quick to get up on their feet to beat Aston Villa awat from home.

On the other side of the pitch, Leicester City come to this game with a similar record of one win and one loss. The main difference for them is that their win came in the League Cup (3-0 vs MK Dons), and their defeat came in league action (3-0 vs Newcastle). Now, Brendan Rodgers' men will try to prove they can find balance against one of the would-be title contenders now before it is too late, as the phantom of relegation is slowly crawling closer to the Foxes with each passing week where they are unable to win.

It has been an atypical season for Liverpool when playing at home, as the Reds have dropped points three times at Anfield, including an unexpected 1-2 loss to Leeds prior to the World Cup break. Their most recent match at Anfield concluded with a 3-1 score against Southampton, and after over one month, it will be nice for Klopp's men to play a game in front of their own.

As for the Foxes, Rodgers' crew makes it to this game on a high, as their last three away games have ended in wins. In those games, Leicester has scored eight goals without reply, and even if those matches were against teams not involved in the title race, it will be interesting to see if they can keep up the good work in one of the toughest venues in the competition.

Here are some interesting facts to keep an eye on before this match kicks off.

Liverpool vs Leicester - Team news

The Reds return to action with quite a few absences, starting with players such as Roberto Firmino and Diogo Jota. Added to those absences, Luis Díaz has been ruled out for the rest of the season due to a knee injury. With that in mind, and until Cody Gakpo's deal is made official by the team, Klopp's men will rely on Mohamed Salah and the misfiring Darwin Núñez to find the back of the net, starting with this key game to keep them close to the top five.

On the other hand, Leicester City make it to this game in a bit of a predicament, as they will also have some absences for this match. The most notable of those will be James Maddison, who has been involved in eleven goals for the Foxes (seven goals, four assists). If the blue and white side wants to claim a win here, Jamie Vardy's contribution to their cause will be key, although trying to get past Liverpool's defense without their playmaker may be easier said than done.

Here are the names of unavailable players for each team

Liverpool - Injured: Arthur, Luis Díaz, Diogo Jota, Roberto Firmino. Doubtful: Ibrahima Konaté, Curtis Jones, James Milner.

Leicester - Injured: James Justin, Ricardo Pereira, Dennis Praet, James Maddison, Ryan Bertrand. Doubtful: Jonny Evans.
