Leicester City take on Liverpool in the English Premier League this weekend and many believe that it’s Brendan Rodgers’ side who are the favourites to pick up a win at the King Power Stadium.
Liverpool going in as the second-best side has not happened quite often in the recent past but the Reds are winless in their previous two league matches and on the other hand, the Foxes have tasted just one defeat in five league outings. Plus, Rodgers’ men have the momentum with them after picking up a win against Brighton in the FA Cup.
Leicester City have the confidence to pick up all three points on Saturday but according to club legend Matt Elliott, the Foxes cannot take this as a walk in the park.
“Leicester have found out to the detriment how good Liverpool are over the last season and a half haven’t they?“, Elliott said on Leicester’s Matchday Minus Two show, as quoted.
“Every time they have gone up against them, Leicester have had to hang in there just to have any sort of chance really and they got a bit of doing here last year, Liverpool really turned on the style.
“So, Leicester know what Liverpool are capable of, I mean it sounds almost ludicrous to say, they are not going to be strolling into this thinking it is going to be their day without having to work supremely hard against what is still a very, very gifted and very efficient Liverpool team.

“Yes, they are not on top of their game right now, but they can click back into gear on any given day.“
Brendan Rodgers’ is very much aware of the threat that Liverpool possess and the fact the Anfield outfit will be like wounded tigers after suffering a 4-1 loss to Man City last weekend.
Liverpool are currently 10 points behind league leaders Man City so anything other than a loss will not be good enough for Jurgen Klopp. Hence we very much feel the Reds will have their foot on the peddle from the first minute of the match.
