LAWRO HAS GONE FOR AWAY WIN. Leicester v Liverpool (20:00) It is a big positive for Liverpool that they have had a week away in the sun together and, while it was not cracking the flags in Qatar, it was warmer and it was a nice change of scenery to train in. Of course they brought home the Club World Cup too, and if you put all of that together it was perfect preparation for this game. Leicester, who lost at Manchester City, will not roll over and they have got a decent record against Liverpool in recent years. Most recently they gave Liverpool a good game Anfield earlier in the season, before losing late on, as well as holding them earlier this year before Brendan Rodgers took charge. But this Reds team is a different animal, which is why I am tipping them to go to King Power Stadium and win to extend their lead at the top of the table even further. If I am right, that would all but end Leicester's title hopes but they would obviously still be well placed to finish in the top four. That gives Rodgers a good argument to ask for money to spend in the January transfer window to build on their position of strength. By bringing in a couple of new players, Leicester could cement their spot in next season's Champions League - which would mean they make up for any outlay. Lawro's prediction: 0-2 Richard's prediction: This is the match that I think everyone is looking forward to. Obviously Liverpool have had such an insane season - my manager, Graham Wrench, is a Liverpool fan and I have got loads of Scouse mates, like all the Bunnymen, who are all Reds. When I was a kid, Liverpool had so many great teams and I am glad to see them back, the way they are. Leicester are giving the title a good shout too, and looking for a repeat of the fairytale when they won it in 2016. I don't see them as massive underdogs in this game, though, even if the points difference is pretty huge. 2-1
Charlie Nicholas' Premier League predictions: Leicester to stun Liverpool? Leicester vs Liverpool - Boxing Day, 8pm It is a stunning game. I have seen a lot from Leicester but they are still a bit off the top level. Liverpool have been out celebrating their new trophy and I don't blame them for it - their fixture list is supposed to be hampering them, but they have played two games in Doha where they were not overly stressed in either. I cannot see the excuses with fatigue or travelling, but I think Leicester will turn this around here. The energy and movement will cause Liverpool problems, who may want to play on the counter-attack; Liverpool are due a loss and I think this will be the game. CHARLIE PREDICTS: 2-1
