After Europe, Liverpool at home to Leicester on Saturday. Brendan Rogers is bringing his team to Anfield for the first time since leaving Liverpool. This going to be a difficult game, winning this, would make it seventeen wins in a row for Liverpool, one short of Manchester city's record. I am going for home win here .Liverpool 3:1 Leicester Saturday 5th October 2019 Brighton & Hove Albion V Tottenham Hotspur 2:2 Burnley V Everton 1:1 Liverpool V Leicester City 3:1 Norwich City V Aston Villa 2:1 Watford V Sheffield United 2:1 West Ham United V Crystal Palace 2:2 Sunday 6th October 2019 Arsenal V AFC Bournemouth 3:0 Manchester City V Wolverhampton Wanderers 3:0 Southampton V Chelsea 1:2 Newcastle United V Manchester United 2:2
LAWRO HAS GONE FOR HOME WIN: Liverpool v Leicester I appreciate that Leicester are dangerous when they go forward, but I don't think they are good enough at the back to get themselves a result at Anfield. There do seem to be a few issues in the Liverpool defence right now, but there is nothing wrong with the front three. Leicester will have to do more in attack than they managed at Old Trafford last month, when they lost to Manchester United. Apart from forcing David de Gea into an early save, they did not really do enough against a team in transition. Liverpool will offer a much tougher test and it feels to me like Leicester will have to be at the very top of their game and take every chance that comes their way if they are going to get something out of this one. Lawro's prediction: 2-1 Michael's prediction: 4-2
CHARLIE NICHOLAS IS SAYING LIVERPOOL WILL DROP POINTS. This is the ultimate test for Leicester. They are the real deal and could be close to breaking into the top six. They beat Tottenham and should have got something against Man Utd, but they will go to Anfield and take them on. Liverpool's defence isn't as good as last season and we knew that, but they are five points clear. Brendan Rodgers knows how dangerous their front three will be, he will try to block the full-backs too and that isn't being defensive, it is being tactical. If Salzburg can score three times at Anfield then I'm sure Leicester could grab a goal. Liverpool have played well in some and stumbled in other, so this might be the one where they finally falter. CHARLIE PREDICTS: 2-2 (16/1 with Sky Bet)
