Liverpool will try to take the next step in their Premier League coronation when they do battle with a struggling Leicester City at the King Power Stadium on Easter Sunday.

The Reds, fresh off of a dramatic late victory over West Ham will be brimming with confidence as they can smell a league title now.

The Foxes have struggled all season and they are limping to the finish and a date with the best team in the country is not what the doctor would have ordered for them.

Mohamed Salah got back to his creative best against the Hammers, but he will be eager to find his name in the scoring column once again and the porous Leicester defense is the perfect antidote to any scoring woes this season.

This might take a different turn if Arne Slot says some guys are not available in his presser, but for now, let's take a look at how Liverpool could lineup to face Leicester City in the Premier League.

Goalkeeper: Alisson Becker

Defenders: Trent Alexander-Arnold, Ibrahima Konate, Virgil van Dijk, Andy Robertson

Midfielders: Alexis Mac Allister, Ryan Gravenberch, Dominik Szoboszlai

Forwards: Mohamed Salah, Darwin Nunez, Luis Diaz

POSSIBLE SUBS: Cody Gakpo, Curtis Jones, Jarell Quansah, Conor Bradley, Harvey Elliott, Diogo Jota, Federico Chiesa

Alisson is in goal once again following another sterling effort as the Brazilian continues to remind the world of just how good he really is.

Trent was back in training on Wednesday and while I don't expect him to go the full 90, 50-60 minutes could be on the docket if he feels strong the rest of the week. If not, Bradley is the man to get the nod once again in his stead.

The Captain will lead the defense once again and Robbo comes back into the lineup as his stability is a welcome tool on the left flank.

I would not be overly shocked if Jones started in midfield, but the above trio is Slot's most preferred grouping, especially when they are playing against lesser opposition and will see a lot of the ball.

Mac Allister and Szoboszlai will be asked to use their many gifts to unlock what is sure to be a closed up Leicester defense.

Looking up in attack, Salah will lead the way as usual with a goal definitely being on his mind from this matchup. I very much think Gakpo should start, but Diaz will probably be retained in the XI after scoring against West Ham.

Nunez has recovered from his illness and this kind of game calls for his physicality and energy so I foresee 60-70 minutes from him to try and find the net once again.

Liverpool should have more than enough to see this one through.
