Hot on the heels of smashing six past Tottenham, Liverpool will be looking to stretch their advantage at the top of the Premier League standings on Boxing Day.
The Reds come into this festive round in excellent form, with Luis Diaz and Mohamed Salah both netting braces in the big-scoring win over Tottenham on Sunday.
Leicester will be daunted by the prospect of a trip to Anfield, as their defensive record has been poor in recent weeks. The Foxes have conceded seven in their last two matches, which included three in a loss against Wolves on Sunday.

Liverpool vs. Leicester Prediction
Leicester have quickly reverted back to old ways under Ruud van Nistelrooy in recent weeks, and they have been far too easy to break down in recent weeks against Newcastle and Wolves.
That is an alarming factor ahead of the trip to free-scoring Liverpool. Therefore, the best value could be on the Reds covering the spread.
