The 8 goals are what Fulham and Leicester contributed in the previous round at Craven Cottage. Unfortunately, when the home team is still dreaming of playing in the European Cup, they have not given Leicester any chance. The 3-5 defeat on the way to London has further pushed Leicester close to the door to leave the Premier League. If relegated, they will be the second team in the league era to play in the Championship as former Premier League champions (previously Blackburn Rovers).
It was thought that Leeds would lose to Newcastle at Elland Road. However, the white team managed to get 1 point and push Leicester down to 19th place. Facing Liverpool, Leicester are also expected to do the same thing as their opponents competing for relegation tickets.
The consolation for Leicester is their quite positive form in the final third of the season. The Foxes have scored in 9/10 of their most recent matches. In the past 4 matches, they have conceded 8 goals. The Foxes are expected to tear Liverpool's net. However, how much they keep the goal safe is a concern. The King Power team has not cleaned in any match since the end of the 2022 World Cup.
In a difficult time, Leicester fans can only rely on their home form in the last 2 matches. They beat Wolves and drew with Everton after a run of five consecutive defeats at King Power. After Liverpool, Leicester will visit Newcastle and welcome West Ham in the final match. Those were all deadly matches, with no way back for Jamie Vardy and his teammates.
Liverpool may have failed in both of their most recent trips to King Power, but that has not affected the determination in the Reds' efforts to compete for the Top 4. Jurgen Klopp's team has won the last 5 matches and is bang bang in the finishing stage. It would be hard to believe they dropped points at King Power next Monday night.
Brentford had tormented Liverpool a lot at the beginning of the season, but in this decline, the "Red Brigade" did not give the "Bees" any more opportunities. Mo Salah scored his 19th goal of the season and also the Egyptian star's 100th at Anfield. The team's leader has returned and it is time for Liverpool to accelerate for the last time.
After Man United beat Wolves with a minimal score, Liverpool are 4 points behind the Top 4 when playing the same number of matches. Liverpool need to win all remaining matches and hope M.U stumbles to be able to do a miracle. Therefore, they will play as if the match against Leicester is their last destination.
Leicester City's expected lineup:
Iversen; Pereira, Faes, Soyuncu, Castagne; Ndidi, Dewsbury-Hall; Tete, Maddison, Barnes; Vardy
Liverpool's expected lineup:
Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Jones, Fabinho, Henderson; Salah, Gakpo, Diaz
The match between Leicester and Liverpool will take place at 2:00 a.m. on May 16 (Vietnam time), live on K+.
