Liverpool lineup vs Leicester: 4-3-3 again – Kabak debut, Jones snubbed
RW – Mohamed Salah
The Egyptian international has been in fine form this season with 22 goals across all competitions so far. Salah is currently at the top of the Premier League scoring charts and will be keen on adding to his tally this weekend.
The 28-year-old scored thrice against Leicester during the 17/18 season but hasn’t managed to find the net against them since. Thursday would definitely be a fine occasion for him to score against the Foxes.
CF – Roberto Firmino
Leicester is an opponent the Brazilian loves to score against. Since the start of the 2016/17 season, Firmino has netted six goals in Premier League fixtures against them. He scored Liverpool’s third goal in the last meeting between the two teams at Anfield.
Firmino will be expected to create scoring opportunities for his teammates while also trying to find the net himself.
LW – Sadio Mane
The Senegalese winger has often threatened the opposition defenses but the goals haven’t come at a rate many expected to. Even against City, Mane missed a very good scoring opportunity.
He’ll be looking to find the net against Leicester this weekend, a team against who he hasn’t scored since their meeting at Anfield last season. Mane will be needed to bring on his A-game if Liverpool are to claim all three points this weekend.
