What is Leicester waiting for?
From the goal of competing for a ticket to the Champions League, falling to the Europa League and now the Europa Conference League, Leicester is on a downward trend. Rodgers has said he did not know what the Europa Conference League was until it was relegated from the Europa League. Now, this strategist must pay more attention to the European Third Division arena because it is the most likely goal that the "Fox" can achieve.
In the match against Man City in round 19, they were once trapped 4-0 but got 4-3, before losing 3-6 overall, all efforts of Vardy and his teammates were denied. On social media, on their own fanpage, the "Foxes" received very sad comments when many accounts said that Man City proactively " solved" to let their opponents score, creating more atmosphere for Boxing Day before burying their opponents.
Before they could recover from the crushing defeat at the Etihad, Leicester met Liverpool - a team that was rated as strong as Manchester City. Whether playing at home or away, having to face Liverpool at this time will be too much for Rodgers and his students. 2021 has passed with 1 FA Cup but perhaps there will be a sad ending for Leicester when they lost 2 consecutive matches before entering 2022.
Liverpool remains strong and tries to score against can
It is undeniable that The Kop was lucky to get 1 point at Tottenham Stadium. However, that was just a factor in the 90 minutes against Spurs. Klopp's army is still very strong. Seeing Manchester City win tirelessly, Liverpool is always in a state of tension of a chasing Man.
The Kop are currently 6 points behind The Citizens but have played 1 match less. To crush the opponent, Liverpool need to wait until the time of a direct confrontation. From now until April 9, 2022, the journey is still very long, but the current intensity shows that if Liverpool or Man City stumble a few times, the championship race situation will be very different.
Returning to tonight's match, Liverpool will not have a hard time winning 3 points, but the worry about Mane - Salah is immediate as the duo prepares to join the national team to play Can. Since the African Nations Championship was scheduled to take place, despite the concerns, Liverpool have not stumbled.
Anyway, with Salah and Mane still staying, everything is fine, that is a consolation for Klopp before entering the difficult period in the next month.
The match between Leicester and Liverpool in round 23 of the Premier League will take place at 3:00 a.m. on December 29 (Vietnam time) at King Power Stadium, live on K+.
