Liverpool coach Juergen Klopp said he thought the snow on the ground had given them a chance to widen the gap with their closest rivals at the top of the table of the Premier League.
Leicester had the chance to take Liverpool to 63 points, seven points behind Manchester City, who lost Tuesday in Newcastle to settle for 56 points.
Indeed, Liverpool advanced in the third minute with a goal from Sadio Mani.
Mohamed Salah's teammates were unable to maintain their progress, Leicester tied for defender Harry Maguire at the end of the first half. In the second half, neither team managed to adjust the score until the end of match 1-1.
"I saw that the ball was not really rolling," he said.
"If you take the ball 70-80%, it makes it uncomfortable."
The hosts started the game with a lot of strength and morale after Manchester City, the defending champion, lost his previous match against Newcastle 1-2. They scored the goal in the third minute after a series of fast and accurate passes.
But Maguire equalized after Liverpool's defense failed to counter a free kick shot by left-back Andrew Robertson.
He called Liverpool a penalty in the second half when Nabi Keita fell into the box after joining Ricardo Pereira.
Brazilian Roberto Fermino had the opportunity to qualify for Liverpool, but Casper Schmeichel, the Leicester City goalkeeper, faced him.
Over time, the confidence of Leicester's players was strengthened and they were able to confuse Liverpool's defense with his unseen stars, including goalkeeper Allison, who scored a goal in the Leicester match and made two mistakes in the first period.
Dutch defender Virgil Van Dijk, who was ill before the match, was also out of shape, with Maguire escaping from his neck to score the equalizer.
