Liverpool face Leicester City in the Premier League on Thursday evening, and the Reds will be desperate to get a win to keep the pressure on Manchester City at the top of the table.

The Reds face the Foxes on Thursday, and while this would usually be seen as a bit of a banana skin, Jurgen Klopp may really fancy his chances here.

Indeed, Leicester have been in poor form as of late. Their last league win actually came two months ago against Liverpool, and the Reds will want to set the record straight.

However, in order to get a win here, Jurgen Klopp will have to get his team selection spot on, and with that in mind, we’ve had a go at predicting the Reds’ starting XI for this one.

We think that Jurgen Klopp will make a massive eight changes from the side that beat Cardiff at the weekend.

Liverpool fielded a bit of a rotated side over the weekend, and now he’s returning to what is arguably his strongest team.

Jordan Henderson and Sadio Mane will be absent for this one, so we’ve tipped Harvey Elliott and Luis Diaz to start here after appearing against Cardiff at the weekend.

Mohamed Salah also makes his first start after returning from the African Cup of Nations.
