Liverpool take on reigning champions Leicester City at the King Power stadium hoping to leapfrog Arsenal and move into the Premier League top four.

Reds boss Jurgen Klopp had some good news on the injury front with Dejan Lovren nearing a full recovery.

England international Daniel Sturridge missed the warm weather training camp in La Manga because of a virus and it remains to be seen if he will get better in time for the clash against the Foxes.

Loren meanwhile has missed the last two matches with a knee problem is expected to return to full team training but will not feature against Leicester.

Clop faces a difficult decision over who to start in central midfield. Gini Wijnaldum impressed in the 2-0 win over Tottenham in the Reds last league game but he suffered a blow to his calf during training earlier this season.

Wijnaldum has been involved in three of Liverpool’s last four league goals scoring one and assisting two but Klopp may just decide to give Emre Can the nod.

Can has fallen out of favour with sections of the press and Liverpool fans after a dip in form recently but he remains in contention for a first-team role.

The Germany international of Turkish origin trained with the team at La Manga in Spain and has made 27 appearances in all competitions this season.
