Liverpool’s expected starting line-up vs Leicester - with big centre-back decision made

Jurgen Klopp will welcome back four players for the King Power Stadium clash.

Liverpool look to reduce the gap at the top of the Premier League when they travel to Leicester this evening (20.00).

After having their Boxing Day fixture against Leeds postponed, the Reds now trail Manchester City by six points but have a game in hand.

Importantly, Jurgen Klopp welcomes back four players who’ve all been in self-isolation for the trip to the Foxes.

Virgil van Dijk, Fabinho, Thiago Alcantara and Curtis Jones all contracted Covid and have been unavailable.

But now the Liverpool manager has big decisions on his hand whether to restore any to his starting XI.

Here’s how we think the Reds will line-up at the King Power Stadium.
