Why you should back Liverpool
The Reds have been rolling, winning six straight following consecutive draws. They have scored 19 goals over that eight-match unbeaten run and finally have their depth back. Mohamed Salah has continued to carry the team through adversity, and he is fourth in the Premier League with 19 goals. Liverpool are third in the league with 67 goals, while Leicester have scored 49. The Reds also are a much better defensive team, conceding 42 goals, seventh-fewest in the league. The Foxes have conceded the fourth-most (64). They also have allowed the fourth-most shots in the league (512).
Liverpool's strength is bombarding the opposing net, as they have the second-most shots in the league (545). Salah has 106 shots, third in the league behind Erling Haaland and Harry Kane. Darwin Nunez, who has nine goals, averages a league-best 4.46 shots per 90 minutes. Diogo Jota, Luis Diaz and newcomer Cody Gakpo all have played fewer than 20 matches but have combined for 15 goals.

Why you should back Leicester City
The Foxes haven't fared well against Liverpool, but they have won the past two matchups at King Power. They play a more defensive game at home, with just 23 of their 64 goals conceded coming on their own turf. They come in off a 5-3 loss to Fulham at Craven Cottage last Monday but took five points from the previous three games. They scored eight goals over the four-game span as Harvey Barnes scored twice, and James Maddison had the other goal against the Cottagers. They could cause problems for a Liverpool defense that has been leaky at times, especially away from Anfield.
The Reds have been a different team on the road where they are 5-4-8 with a minus-four away goal differential, compared to 13-4-1 and plus-29 at Anfield. Leicester have scored in nine of their past 10 matches as Barnes has 12 goals, and Maddison has 10 to go with nine assists. Kelechi Iheanacho, Patson Daka and Youri Tielemans have combined for 12. Jamie Vardy, who had double-digit goals in the previous seven seasons, could be finding his form as he has three goals, but two have come in the past three matches. Only Kane has more EPL goals than Vardy over the past nine seasons. See who to back at SportsLine.
