What channel is Liverpool vs Leicester Kickoff time TV and live
Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool can move to within just two points of the Premier League’s top four with another victory when they take on Brendan Rodgers’ Leicester on Friday

Liverpool will aim to record their fourth successive Premier League win when they welcome Leicester to Anfield on Friday.

The Reds returned to top flight duties in perfect fashion on Boxing Day as they overcame Aston Villa with a 3-1 victory thanks to goals from Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk and Stefan Bajcetic, while another three points is the primary objective against their next opponents.

As for the Foxes, they looked like they’d turned a corner with five wins from their final eight Premier League fixtures before the World Cup break but Monday’s 3-0 defeat against Newcastle has left them needing to bounce back from defeat once more.

When is Liverpool vs Leicester?

Liverpool vs Leicester will kick-off at 8pm on Friday, December 30 at Anfield.

The last meeting between these two sides came back in February, when Liverpool ran out 2-0 winners in another top flight affair on home soil.

Diogo Jota scored a goal in each half to secure all three points for the Reds as they remained hot on the heels of league leaders Manchester City in the race for the title, while Leicester failed to win three consecutive league games against Liverpool for the first time since November 1963.

Team news

Liverpool produced a dominant display to overcome Aston Villa four days ago and Jurgen Klopp could well stick with the same side as a result, although six injuries in his side may leave him with little other choice.

James Milner (thigh), Roberto Firmino (calf), Curtis Jones (shin), Jota (calf), Luis Diaz (knee) and Arthur Melo (thigh) are all ruled out until the New Year, although Ibrahima Konate could be back among the squad following his return to first team training this week. Mohamed Salah and Darwin Nunez are expected to lead the line.

As for Leicester, things don’t get any easier for them following their heavy defeat to Newcastle on Boxing Day, but they will need to perform much better if they are to avoid a repeat of that result. However, Brendan Rodgers also has a number of injury concerns.

James Maddison (knee) will miss out once more as the Foxes try and get to the bottom of his fresh injury, while Dennis Praet (abdominal) has also joined Jonny Evans (calf), Ricardo Pereira (calf), James Justin (calf) and Ryan Bertrand (knee) on the sidelines. Jamie Vardy and Kelechi Iheanacho could be introduced to the side.
