Today lines up a battle with two sides at the opposing sides of the table. With Liverpool wanting to sneak in to a Champions League spot and Leicester wanting to sneak out of the relegation spots - both teams will be desperate to get those vital three points today.
Lets take a look at both of tonight's sides,,,
Leicester City
19th placed Leicester City haven't had a great season to say the least, after losing a total of 21 games the former Premier League champions have got themselves into a relegation scrap and face a strong Liverpool side in great form in an attempt to get out of it.
Current form:
L D D W L
After a staggering 5-3 loss at Craven Cottage Leicester City's situation has worsened, however presumably their attempt to fight back against Fulham will be a very slim sight of positivity for Dean Smith. Although there was some improvement in the final third in the previous game, they're still leaking goals. With Leicester still without a clean sheet since the World Cup I struggle to see them not conceding against an in form Liverpool side. However it will be interesting to see whether they show enough fight to get something out of a difficult fixture at a difficult time.
Leicester City's injury list:
Kelechi Iheanacho
James Justin
Jannik Vestergaard
Ryan Bertrand
Predicted Line up:
Iversen; Pereira, Faes, Soyuncu, Castagne; Ndidi, Dewsbury-Hall; Soumare Maddison, Barnes; Vardy
Liverpool
5th place Liverpool go in to their penultimate away game against Leicester City tonight and it is vital they get three points if they want to get themselves a Champions League spot next season. They're currently four points behind Newcastle United and Manchester United (who are stopping them getting into the top four spots) and a win tonight can help them get to where they want to be.
Current form:

After winning six on the trot Liverpool will be feeling confident ahead of tonight's game, other than the 6-1 thrashing that they gave to Leeds United every other result has been a narrow one. Since the game against the Yorkshire side Liverpool have only won by a one goal deficit and with Leicester's poor defensive record they will be looking to capitalise on this. Tonight will be a very interesting game and a must win for both sides - for very different reasons.
Liverpool's Injury list:
Thiago Alcantara
Stefan Bajcetic
Calvin Ramsey
Naby Keita
Roberto Firmino
Predicted line up:
Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Jones, Fabinho, Henderson; Salah, Gakpo, Diaz
Harry Lucas
