What channel is Leicester vs Liverpool on? TV and live stream information

Leicester City play host to high-flying Liverpool on Boxing Day as second take on first in the Premier League.

The Foxes have been this season's surprise package and remain Liverpool's closest title rival despite losing to champions Manchester City last time out.

The Reds do have a commanding 10 point advantage of over their top-flight rivals, but have a tired and injury-ravaged squad following last week's trip to Doha, where Liverpool won a first Club World Cup against Flamengo.

Klopp will be keen for his side to maintain momentum going into 2020, but the match provides Brendan Rodgers with the perfect opportunity to get one over his former side.

Leicester boss Rodgers said in his press conference ahead of the game: "Barnes has been getting treatment over the last couple of days. Hopefully he'll be back in training tomorrow. It's his ankle, but it's not as bad as first thought."

Matthew James is also out of action.

On Tuesday, Klopp spoke to the press where he confirmed Oxlade-Chamberlain, who was injured in Doha, could be out for up to six weeks.

"The ankle is what we probably expected," said Klopp.

"One of the ligaments on the outside is damaged and we have to see how quickly we can fix that. It can take a while or it can be quicker, we will see."
