Liverpool will be looking to bounce back from their defeat to Manchester City when they take on Leicester City this weekend.

The defending English champions suffered a 4-1 defeat to City at Anfield in the Premier League last weekend, and that has pretty much finished off their chances of winning the title for the second season in a row.

Liverpool will be determined to pick up all three points against Leicester away from home at the King Power Stadium in the league on Saturday afternoon.

Manager Jurgen Klopp is unlikely to make too many changes to the team that started against City.

However, Ozan Kabak could make his debut for the Merseyside outfit. Klopp said on the club’s official website earlier this month that the youngster is “really a big, big talent”, and the 20-year-old central defender – signed on loan from Schalke in the January transfer window – could start.

Curtis Jones – described as “absolutely outstanding” by Klopp on Liverpool’s official website in January 2021 – is likely to be dropped from the team to accommodate Jordan Henderson in midfield.

This is how Liverpool could line up against Leicester this weekend:

Predicted Liverpool XI: Alisson; Fabinho, Kabak, Alexander-Arnold, Robertson; Henderson, Wijnaldum, Thiago; Salah, Mane, Firmino
