Jurgen Klopp will play his strongest possible starting lineup when Liverpool take on Leicester City, according to The Athletic‘s James Pearce.
The Premier League’s top two clubs meet at the King Power Stadium on Boxing Day, in what will be one of the Reds’ biggest tests of the season so far.
Not only are the Foxes flying currently, but Liverpool’s Club World Cup duties could potentially take their toll, too.
There have been fears from some supporters that Klopp will field a weakened team against Leicester, but those worries have been eased.
Speaking in a Q&A on Tuesday, Pearce was adamant that Liverpool would be at full-strength for the top-of-the-table clash:
You can guarantee he will field his strongest possible XI at the King Power on Boxing Day.
By then hopefully LFC will be world champions.
Read Liverpool Verdict
Leicester will be a massive threat to the Reds’ unbeaten league record when the two teams meet, assuming defeat is avoided at home to Watford on Saturday.
Brendan Rodgers’ side have the bit between the teeth and look strong all over the pitch, with Jamie Vardy in particularly impressive form.
Liverpool are still comfortably superior, however, and as long as legs are rested in Qatar and a formidable XI is named by Klopp, they should still be too strong.
