Leicester predicted lineup vs Liverpool - Premier League
Leicester City travel to Liverpool on Thursday as they look to bounce back from their FA Cup disaster against Nottingham Forest.
Brendan Rodgers still has a host of absentees to cope with, but he has already sprung a surprise against his former employers this season, leading the Foxes to a 1-0 victory over Liverpool in December.
Leicester used a 4-3-1-2 formation during that game and Rodgers could return to that particular well again. Here is his most likely starting XI...
1. Goalkeeper & defenders
Kasper Schmeichel (GK) - Danny Ward was brought in against Forest, but there is no danger of the Welshman wrestling away the number-one jersey from Schmeichel this season.
Ricardo Pereira (RB) - James Justin is still returning to full fitness, so Ricardo will come back into the side.
Caglar Soyuncu (CB) - Soyuncu is having a nightmare season. However, injuries to Wesley Fofana and Jonny Evans means he will retain his place.
Jannik Vestergaard (CB) - Vestergaard has not convinced since joining the Foxes. He will be looking to prove his doubters wrong on Thursday.
Luke Thomas (LB) - One of the few bright spots of Leicester's season has been Thomas' emergence as a solid Premier League defender.
2. Midfielders
Youri Tielemans (CM) - Another Leicester player whose form has fallen off a cliff in recent times. Widely expected to depart the club in the summer but needs to improve to maximise his chances of getting a lucrative move.
Hamza Choudhury (CM) - Choudhury fared well against Liverpool's midfield in December's 1-0 win. Rodgers could call on him again to stifle the Reds' approach play.
Wilfred Ndidi (CM) - Having Ndidi back from international duty is a big boost for Leicester.
James Maddison (AM) - Nailed on to win the Foxes' player of the season award this term.
3. Forwards
Patson Daka (ST) - Has shown glimpses of real promise since arriving from Red Bull Salzburg in the summer.
Kelechi Iheanacho (ST) - Briefly the in-form striker in Europe last season, Iheanacho has struggled to hit those heights this campaign.
