Three key changes – Liverpool’s strongest possible 4-3-3 vs Leicester
Liverpool survived a scare to earn all three points in the Champions League vs Salzburg and next up, the Reds will face Leicester City at Anfield in the Premier League.
The Foxes are in red hot form at the moment. In the last three games in all competitions, they have scored 11 times and conceded just one goal. Like Liverpool, Rodgers’ team has also conceded just 5 goals in the league so far.
Who will come out on top tomorrow?

In the absence of Matip, Liverpool’s back-line proved to be fragile in the midweek CL contest and the former Schalke defender might miss the game vs the 2015-16 champions as well (The Daily Express).
