Preview
Liverpool can make it four Premier League wins in a row and maintain their push for a top four finish on Friday when they take on Leicester.
The Reds are currently sixth in the table and five points behind Tottenham, who sit fourth, while Leicester lie in 13th place.
Leicester, meanwhile, looked to be improving last month only to be hammered 3-0 by oil-rich Newcastle in their first game back after the World Cup break.
Leicester have a good recent record against Liverpool and Brendan Rodgers will know another victory over his former club will reduce the mounting pressure on his job.
