Leicester vs Liverpool prediction: ENGLAND: Premier League betting tips on match 2025-04-19 15:30.
[p]Leicester went into their last match on a dismal nine-game losing run across all competitions and an eight-game scoreless stretch in the Premier League, but they finally put an end to both those streaks with a 2-2 draw against Brighton. The Foxes came from behind twice, but on a weekend where their immediate relegation to the Championship could be confirmed, that result is likely to be of scant consolation.[/p]
[p]Other results working against them before this clash could see their demotion confirmed before kick-off, but if theyāre still alive come the first whistle, they have to win here to delay the inevitable. Eight successive home league defeats without scoring – a new top-flight record – hardly make a King Power Stadium return timely, and another scoring blank here would see them become just the third team in English football history to fail to score in nine successive home league games.[/p]
[p]Leicesterās potential relegation may be coupled with elation for Liverpool, who could become champions with a win should Arsenal lose to Ipswich earlier in the day, which would be the perfect way to round off a two-week spell in which Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk both signed new contracts. If itās not to be this weekend, then the Reds can wrap up the title at home against Tottenham next weekend, but either way itās just a matter of time before Arne Slotās first season at the club brings a record-equalling 20th top-flight crown.[/p]
[p]Despite all thatās at stake, the travelling fans will be wanting their team to refocus after losing their last away match 3-2 to Fulham. The Merseysiders can find comfort in the timing and opposition here, having won seven of their last ten league games played on Easter Sunday (D1, L2), while also winning 12 of their last 15 encounters against Leicester.[/p]
[p]Players to watch: Stephy Mavididi broke Leicesterās goal drought against Brighton, and the Foxes will be hoping heās on target again since heās lost none of the last 17 home matches heās scored in (W15, D2). Looking to break a ādry spellā of three league matches without a goal, Salah is aiming to become the first player to score in all six games against the promoted clubs in a Premier League season.[/p]
[p]Hot streak: Liverpool have scored exactly twice in each of their last six Premier League away games.[/p]
