Jurgen Klopp is wary of the threat posed by Jamie Vardy, the enemy of Liverpool, and can not explain why the attacker has such a good record against him.
The 32-year-old has scored seven of Foxes' last ten goals against the Reds and all his goals have been scored in only eight appearances.
Vardy, suspended for the Reds 2-1 win at King Power Stadium in September, has scored in each of his last five games and is one of seven players to have scored seven times against the Premier League Reds, with only Andrew Cole (11) and Thierry Henry (eight) having more.
Jurgen Klopp praised the exploits of Jamie Vardy (Mike Egerton / PA)But the former international international has not only booked his best form in Liverpool since he has scored 13 goals in 16 previous matches against the big six.
"Jamie is a fantastic striker. It's the quality, the speed that he has, the finishing skills he has, "said Klopp.
"It's a huge threat and it has always been, but sometimes we've made it easier for him.
"Lucas Leiva, did he get help? I could have scored that goal (when Lucas pbaded Vardy eight meters in front of an empty goal).
Liverpool tries to stay ahead of Manchester City in the Premier League race (Martin Rickett / PA)"I do not know exactly why Jamie has such a good record against us, but I would say less a goal because it's the only one he should not have scored. He is a very good player and that's why he's so threatening. "
Despite the threat of Vardy, Liverpool has won the last three league games against Leicester.
But Klopp takes nothing for granted and seeks to keep his team away from Manchester City, still four points behind the Reds, at the top of the Premier League.
"They like to play against the best sides. They do not constitute a counterattack as they were in the past, but they pose a huge threat, "added the boss.
Klopp called on Liverpool fans to support their team (David Davies / PA)"We are expecting a very dangerous opponent. They have quality, it's a great team. I imagine that they are not happy with the situation. Where are they, 11th?
"A few years ago, it would have been an excellent position for Leicester, but not after winning the league and playing in the Champions League, investing a lot of money in the team.
"I'm really happy that it's a Wednesday night game because I hope our supporters feel the need for real support.
"It's been 10 days since we played at home. We are really looking forward to it, but it will not be easy because the last match (4-3 win over Crystal Palace) was not easy.
"It's about getting everybody out so we can play well enough to win the game."
