Predicted lineup, team and injury news as Jamie Vardy replacement found
Leicester City will be looking to cause an upset when they face off with high-flying Liverpool on Thursday.
Leicester City fell to a very disappointing 3-0 defeat at the hands of Wolverhampton Wanderers in their last Premier League outing.
Liverpool, meanwhile sat top of tree heading into Christmas and are now looking to extend their lead over Chelsea and Arsenal even further.
Arne Slot’s men have fallen to defeat just once in 2024/25, while Leicester have secured just three wins and could end Boxing Day in the relegation zone.
In reality, it seems very unlikely the Foxes will get anything out of the meeting, especially with a few big names potentially missing out.
Leicester City team and injury news vs Liverpool
Harry Winks made his return off the bench this past weekend following an injury issue picked up vs Chelsea.
Boubakary Soumare was also back in the eleven but there was once again no place in the squad for Wilfred Ndidi.
Ndidi is currently in injury rehab and the Liverpool meeting will come too soon for the midfielder.
Elsewhere, in a big blow, Van Nistelrooy shared a Jamie Vardy update ahead of Liverpool, suggesting he may not be involved on Thursday.
On a slightly more positive note, though Mads Hermansen remains a doubt to face the Reds, Jakub Stolarczyk has returned for Leicester and will be available on Boxing Day.
