Another festive season, another thrilling Premier League clash, Liverpool vs Leicester to Anfield on matchday 18. The matchup pits two teams in utterly contrasting form against each other: league leaders Liverpool fly high, while Leicester is struggling to gain momentum. Here’s a detailed preview of the game, prediction, and betting tips for you to place your bets on.

Match Preview

Liverpool have been almost unstoppable under Arne Slot this season and have finally found consistency at the top of the table. As the Foxes’ usual inconsistencies have given way to poor form, with frailties in a once tight backline the norm, this may indeed be a mismatch that ultimately cements Liverpool’s dominance or provides a much-needed turnaround.

Form Analysis

Liverpool (WDWDWW)

Liverpool comes into this match in scintillating form, epitomized by the thrilling 6-3 away victory over Tottenham Hotspur. The Reds have been in attacking brilliance, and Mohamed Salah has been leading the charge. Already in double digits for goals and assists, Salah has shown just how important he is to the success of Liverpool.

In their last game, Liverpool controlled 48% of the possession and had 24 shots on goal, with 12 of them being on target. Salah’s clinical finishing, coupled with individual performances from the likes of Luis Díaz and Alexis Mac Allister, has seen Liverpool on an unbeaten run.

• Home Record: Liverpool have been impenetrable at Anfield, unbeaten in their last six league outings.
• Head-to-Head: Liverpool have not lost to Leicester in the league in their last three meetings, further underscoring their dominance.

Leicester City (LLWDLL)

Inconsistency and a poor defense have defined Leicester’s campaign, with the Foxes smarting from an embarrassing 3-0 loss against Wolverhampton Wanderers. They dominated the game with 54 percent possession but failed to seize the initiative. This sets into light their rather palpable defensive struggles in conceding 16 goals these last six matches.

• Away Record: Leicester has taken just one point from the last four away games.
• Head-to-Head: Leicester’s record at Anfield is abysmal, having never won in 12 straight matches against Liverpool.

The challenge for Leicester is how to overcome the defensive vulnerabilities against Liverpool’s potent attack.
