Leicester vs Liverpool LIVE! Premier League match stream, latest team news, lineups, TV, prediction today
Liverpool will move within one point of the Premier League’s top four with a win over Leicester at the King Power Stadium tonight. Despite a difficult season for Jurgen Klopp’s side, the Reds are flying and could well reach the Champions League with neither Manchester United or Newcastle looking overly convincing.
Making the top four would at least see Liverpool finish the season with something tangible and perhaps making summer recruitment easier. Hugely experienced in putting together big winnings runs under Klopp, it’s going to be fascinating to see whether or not they can do it from a relatively low base.
The situation at Leicester, meanwhile, could hardly be more different. Dean Smith’s side face a huge challenge to stay in the Premier League after a dreadful campaign, even despite boasting some big talent in the squad. Follow the action LIVE with Standard Sport’s dedicated match blog!

Arsenal and Liverpool appear to have been boosted in their respective transfer pursuits of star Brighton duo Moises Caicedo and Alexis Mac Allister.
The South American pair have been absolutely instrumental in the Seagulls’ incredible rise this term under first Graham Potter and then managerial successor Roberto De Zerbi, each being midfield mainstays and Caicedo even demonstrating his valuable versatility of late as a makeshift right-back.
But their form certainly has not gone unnoticed by Premier League rivals, with Mac Allister committing himself to Brighton in January after winning the World Cup with Argentina and Caicedo extending his contract despite being unhappy at being denied a dream £70million move to title challengers Arsenal.
