Liverpool v Leicester City: Premier League – live! | Soccer

After an inspiring rendition of You'll Never Walk Alone, Emiliano Sala and Dave Ibbotson were silent for a minute of silence. It is impeccably observed.

Here are the teams! "Liverpool! Liverpool! "Sing the fans of Liverpool. "Leicester! Leicester! Leicester! "Sing the fans of Leicester. Other songs are available.

"The question behind the eyes of many Liverpool supporters is to know what cruel form of deflation spell serves us if the main role is built, the expectation grows and a title looms on the horizon," says Ian Copestake. "So for now, let's win some games and enjoy the trip!"

Ah, the torment of being a fan. Is it possible to be optimistic? The default setting is pessimism for most. Easier that way.

Jurgen Klopp is questioned about the defeat of Manchester City last night. "I had a long day of work and I came home late. I went to see my wife and we did not watch the game, we watched a movie. When the final whistle arrived and Newcastle won, my smartphone was in fashion … and I hate it. If they had won, we would have played tonight. If they had lost, we would have played tonight. We want to play football and if there is something to celebrate, you will see it in my face then. "

Due to Liverpool's looming shortage, Jordan Henderson is pushed back into defense. In the role of James Milner. Milner is suspended after being deported to Crystal Palace. Georginio Wijnaldum enters the game.

Claude Puel made three changes after the 4-3 defeat of Leicester against the Wolves. Go Danny Simpson, Wes Morgan and Harvey Barnes. Arriving, Jonny Evans, Marc Albrighton and Demarai Gray.

Liverpool: Alisson; Henderson, Matip, Van Dijk, Robertson; Wijnaldum, Keita, Shaqiri; Salah, Firmino, Mane. Subs: Mignolet, Fabinho, Lovren, Lallana, Camacho, Origi, Sturridge.

Leicester: Schmeichel; Ricardo, Evans, Maguire, Chilwell; Albrighton, Mendy, Ndidi, Gray; Maddison; Vardy. Subs: Ward, Morgan, Simpson, Choudhury, Barnes, Okazaki, Iheanacho.

Arbitrator: Martin Atkinson.

First Roy Hodgson, now Rafa Benitez; at this rate, Liverpool will have the title sewn in no time if he manages to convince the next opponents of Manchester City to engage Gerard Houllier, Roy Evans and Graeme Souness. It seems that to turn the race into a procession, the former leaders of Liverpool must stand on the path of Pep Guardiola and they come to the rescue of Jurgen Klopp. Hodgson's Crystal Palace held the match last month and Benitez made a huge favor to his former club last night, Newcastle's shocking victory over City allowing Liverpool to establish a seven-point lead over the champions. All greet Rafa! Another Kopite after all these years.

It is presumed that the locals sing the name of the Spaniard at Anfield tonight. After all, what an opportunity for Liverpool. They still have 15 games to play and know there is a lot of football to play – but a seven-point lead over City in early February is a reverie for a team that has lost just once in 23 matches . If they can handle Leicester tonight, they will have the right to think that the 29-year-old itch will go away in May.

Mind you, the question is whether they can keep an eye on all that bubbling emotion. We have already been to Liverpool. We have seen what can happen. We know that Klopp should not ask Brendan Rodgers for advice on keeping the pitch smooth and smooth. Instead, Liverpool's task is not to be too far ahead of himself; they have to maintain the calm, cold and ruthless mentality that pushed them so far, not to mention that Leicester is a very good counterattack that has already defeated Chelsea and City this season. It is not finished yet.
