Liverpool vs Leicester - preview: Prediction, how to stream and watch on TV, form guide, odds and more

Premier League leaders Liverpool will look to keep their remarkable run of home form going when they face Leicester City at Anfield on Wednesday.

The hosts are unbeaten at home in their last 32 Premier League matches, stretching back to a 2-1 defeat to Crystal Palace in April 2017, and will be aiming to maintain or possibly even extend their four-point gap to nearest challengers Manchester City.

Liverpool will start the match top of the Premier League for the tenth time this season which is more times than they’ve ever done in a single season and Leicester will need to be at their best if they are to get anything from the game.

What time does it start?

Liverpool vs Leicester kicks off at 8pm on Wednesday 30 January.

Where can I watch it?

The match will be shown live on BT Sport 1 from 7.30pm. BT subscribers can stream the action online or via the BT Sport app.

Highlights will be shown on Match of the Day at 10.20pm on BBC One.

It’s a big game for…

Jamie Vardy: The Leicester striker has scored seven goals in his eight Premier League appearances against Liverpool, his best record against any team in the division. Will he be able to get an eighth and match Thierry Henry’s record against the side?

Best stat…

19: Liverpool have not lost any of their last 19 league matches played on a weekday.

Player to watch…

Mohamed Salah: The Egyptian has scored six goals in his last six league appearances and, with 16 goals, is the league’s top scorer and Liverpool’s go to man. If he fires, Liverpool should win comfortably so his finishing form will need to be kept in check by Leicester if the visitors are to get something from the game.
