The fight for Premier League survival continues for Leicester City this Monday when they welcome Liverpool to King Power Stadium.
The Foxes come into this round of games sitting inside the relegation zone after three games without a win (D2, D1). The last in that sequence was an embarrassing 5-3 loss to Fulham in their previous outing.
That game saw them concede five times (three in the first half), taking their total goals conceded for the season to 64. So ahead of this round, only four sides have conceded more goals than Dean Smith’s side, who are running out of time to secure their Premier League destiny.

They will welcome Liverpool to the King Power Stadium, hoping for a good result. But having not kept a clean sheet in their last 20 PL outings (W3, D4, L13) despite scoring in ten of those 17 winless matches, they seem unlikely to get a result here.
However, the away form of Liverpool could also serve as an encouragement for the Foxes. The Reds have secured more than double the number of points at home (43) compared to their away haul (19).
Yet, they are a team in form, having won their last six Premier League games to push themselves into fifth position ahead of this round of matches.
But each of the last five wins have come by one-goal margins, as in the reverse fixture when Jurgen Klopp’s side won 2-1. Moreover, the visitors have kept two clean sheets in their last two games.
So we can expect a cagey affair with few goals. Therefore, an under 2.5 goals game is highly likely.
