Liverpool are looking for their seventh victory in a row and I believe they’ll achieve it.

Leicester City have won just three Premier League games out of 20 since the World Cup. The Foxes are in the mire after their 5-3 defeat at Fulham last time out, sitting in the relegation zone with just three games remaining. Leeds United and Nottingham Forest secured a point each on Saturday to add a bit more pressure.

They have several players in bad form, such as Jamie Vardy who has scored just three league goals in 34 appearances (17 starts). Their defense is terrible too, with 64 goals conceded so far, and to find their last clean sheet in the Premier League we must look back to November, the 0:2 victory against West Ham.

They can perhaps take solace from the fact that one of those wins came recently against Wolves, which ended a run of nine without victory that included eight defeats. Draws against relegation rivals Leeds and Everton did little to help their cause, before a 5-3 reverse at Fulham that, if anything, flattered the visitors.

Playing at home they aren’t either pretty strong: are the second worst home team in the league, with 9 defeats and only 4 victories in 17 games. Only bottom and relegated side Southampton has worse numbers.

In terms of team news, Leicester will still be without Kelechi Iheanacho (groin), James Justin and Jannik Vestergaard (both calf), though Ricardo Pereira is back in training after a hamstring issue.

On the other hand, Liverpool is the best team in the league along with Manchester City right now.

Much like the 2020-21 campaign when they suffered that humbling at Aston Villa, Liverpool have struggled this season, but are making a late charge for the Champions League spots to salvage something. Klopp’s side are aiming for a seventh win in a row, having not previously won as many since a run of nine across January and February 2022.

Liverpool are flying for the first time in a long time, are really motivated right now and full of confidence. They have a good record against the Foxes, winning eight of their last 11 Premier League games against them. Guests are in much better form and I see them favorites to win here.

利物浦正在寻求他们的七连胜，我相信他们会实现的。

自世界杯以来，莱斯特城在20场英超比赛中只赢了3场。在上次5-3输给富勒姆后，狐狸队陷入了泥潭，在只剩下三场比赛的情况下，他们坐在降级区。在周六的比赛中，利兹联和诺丁汉森林各拿到一分，给球队带来了更大的压力。

他们有几名球员状态不佳，比如杰米·瓦尔迪，他在34次出场(17次首发)中只打进3个联赛进球。他们的防守也很糟糕，到目前为止丢了64个球，要找到他们在英超的最后一次零封，我们必须回到11月，0:2战胜西汉姆联。

他们也许可以从最近对狼队的胜利中得到安慰，狼队结束了九连胜，其中包括八场失利。与保级对手利兹和埃弗顿的平局对他们的事业没有什么帮助，在5-3逆转富勒姆之前，如果有什么的话，这让客队感到高兴。

在主场比赛时，他们也不是很强大:他们是联盟第二差的主场球队，17场比赛中9场失利，只有4场胜利。只有垫底和降级球队南安普顿的数据更差。

在队内消息方面，莱斯特城仍然没有伊哈纳乔(腹股沟受伤)、贾斯汀和韦斯特加德(都是小腿受伤)，不过里卡多·佩雷拉在腿筋受伤后恢复了训练。

另一方面，利物浦现在和曼城一样是联赛中最好的球队。

就像他们在2020-21赛季遭遇阿斯顿维拉的羞辱一样，利物浦本赛季也很挣扎，但他们正在为欧冠席位发起最后的进攻，以挽救一些东西。克洛普的球队目标是七连胜，自2022年1月和2月的九连胜以来，还没有赢过这么多。

利物浦很长一段时间以来第一次飞起来了，现在我们真的很有动力，充满了信心。他们在对阵狐狸队的比赛中取得了不错的战绩，在过去的11场英超比赛中赢了8场。客人们的状态要好得多，我认为他们最有可能在这里获胜。
