Leicester City vs Liverpool Probable Line-ups: Klopp faces midfield dilemma

Emre Can

Liverpool take on reigning Premier League champions Leicester City at the King Power stadium on Monday 27 February.

Leicester are currently in the relegation zone but a win would take them level on 24 points with 15th placed Swansea.

The only problem is they are without a manager after club legend Claudio Ranieri was unceremoniously sacked.

There have been rumours of mutiny among some of his players but whatever actually happened there was genuine outrage across the footballing community regarding the decision.

The Foxes could be without Islam Slimani (groin) and Leonardo Ulloa (thigh) ahead of the match due to injury.

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp meanwhile faces a dilemma over whether to stick with Gini Wijnaldum who excelled in the 2-0 victory over Tottenham a fortnight ago or revert back to Emre Can in midfield.

Klopp may end up having his hand forced as Wijnaldum may not be fit to play after suffering a heavy blow to the calf in training earlier in the week.

Leicester beat Liverpool at the King Power last season thanks to a Jamie Vardy brace but have not won back to back league games at home against the Reds since 1972.

The Reds will also draw confidence from having won more games on the road against reigning Premier League champions than any other side (8).
