READ LIVERPOOL VERDICT
With Oxlade-Chamberlain out, Naby Keita gets the nod in midfield again. Whilst some fans seemingly want James Milner’s energy in the side, Keita has the technical ability to avoid the Leicester press and drive Liverpool forward in attack.
Keita’s footwork and passing will be needed to win this game for Liverpool, which is presumably why Jurgen Klopp has selected him ahead of the veteran Englishman. Hopefully he now steps up and produces a top performance to send Liverpool well clear at the top of the table.
