Leicester vs Liverpool LIVE: Reds look to seal Premier League title against struggling Foxes

The battle for the Premier League title has looked like a procession rather than a race for some time now, but Liverpool have the chance to make it a mathematical certainty today if they win over strugglers Leicester and second-placed Arsenal slip up against Ipswich.

Liverpool travel to the King Power Stadium after the Gunners visit Ipswich in today’s early kick-off, with all the pressure on Mikel Arteta’s side - but there’s still time for Leicester to spring a surprise.

Ruud van Nistelroy’s men are above only rock-bottom Southampton in the top flight and relegation surely looms, having earned just eight points from 19 matches under the Dutchman. But a win over the Reds - who have shown signs of fragility in recent weeks - would stave off the drop for at least another game.

If not, the Foxes will be heading straight back down to the Championship, so it’s all to play for.

Early team news - Liverpool

Trent Alexander-Arnold, absent since 11 March with an ankle injury, is back in training for Liverpool but Conor Bradley may keep his place after last weekend’s win against West Ham.

Curtis Jones will also hope to keep his place ahead of Dominik Szoboszlai but Andy Robertson may return. Joe Gomez remains out with a hamstring issue.

Darwin Nunez is also back in training after illness.

Predicted Liverpool XI: Alisson; Bradley, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Mac Allister, Gravenberch, Szoboszlai; Salah, Jota, Diaz

The drop looms for Leicester

It’s a crunch clash for Leicester too: Ruud van Nistelroy’s side will be relegated if they fail to beat Liverpool today.

They would also have been relegated had both West Ham and Wolves won their fixtures this weekend, but the Hammers were held by rock-bottom Southampton yesterday.

Everything you need to know

Liverpool can take another step closer to winning the Premier League title when they travel to lowly Leicester City, and may even have the chance to clinch it depending on earlier results.

If Arsenal draw or win earlier on, victory for Liverpool would mean they will have the opportunity to win the title at Anfield next weekend against Tottenham Hotspur.
