Only Liverpool (49) and Manchester City (41) have won more points than Leicester’s 31 since the arrival of Brendan Rodgers as manager and Jürgen Klopp has grounds for concern ahead of his predecessor’s visit. Leicester were the last team to deny Liverpool a Premier League win at Anfield, back in January, but it is the impact of Wednesday’s frenetic Champions League win over Salzburg that is the main issue for Klopp. The leaders are enjoying their best-ever winning run in the top flight, and a 17th consecutive league victory would feel significant even at this early stage in the title race, given the calibre of the opposition.
