Leicester vs Liverpool: Premier League 2019/20 prediction, team news, lineups, live stream, TV, odds, H2H

It's second hosting first in the Premier League on Boxing Day as Leicester City welcome Liverpool to the King Power Stadium.

Coming just five days after visiting champions Manchester City, it is a nightmare festive run for the Foxes who saw their long unbeaten run end at the Etihad Stadium.

Still, if any team can end Liverpool's own remarkable run, then it is Brendan Rodgers' Leicester. A win for Liverpool, though, and they could end Boxing Day 13 points clear.

The game is today with kick-off at 8pm GMT.

Team news and lineups

Leicester City: Harvey Barnes could be fit after injuring his ankle in a clash with goalkeeper Ederson in Saturday's 3-1 defeat at Manchester City but will be hoping to be available against the Reds.

Matty James is training after his Achilles problem but remains short of match fitness and is likely to be loaned out in January.

Liverpool: Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has been ruled out until the new year with ankle ligament damage sustained in Saturday's Club World Cup win over Flamengo in Qatar.

Centre-backs Dejan Lovren (hamstring) and Joel Matip (knee) and midfielder Fabinho (ankle) are also not expected to return until January.

Georginio Wijnaldum was an unused substitute against Flamengo after being ruled fit enough to return from a hamstring problem sustained against Watford, and he could come into contention for a start against the Foxes.

How we think the sides could line up…

Leicester City: Schmeichel, Pereira, Evans, Soyuncu, Chilwell, Ndidi, Perez, Tielemans, Maddison, Barnes, Vardy​

Liverpool: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, Van Dijk, Robertson, Henderson, Wijnaldum, Keita, Salah, Firmino, Mane
