Liverpool prepare to host Leicester City on Boxing Day with Diogo Jota potentially returning to the starting lineup. Meanwhile, Leicester faces uncertainty in goal and defensive solidity after their recent defeat to Wolves. This match sees Liverpool seeking to extend their unbeaten streak at home against Leicester, while the Foxes aim to avoid a third consecutive league loss.
Diogo Jota could make his first start since recovering from a rib issue, while Curtis Jones may also be recalled if head coach Arne Slot opts to rotate his squad.
The Merseysiders have won their past seven league matches on Boxing Day and have not lost at home on 26 December since Norman Whiteside struck the only goal for Manchester United in 1986. Leicester's only win in their past 10 league games on Boxing Day was 2-1 against Manchester City in 2018. Liverpool have won their last seven league games played on Boxing Day, the longest current run among any side in England’s top four tiers, and the Reds’ longest ever such run.
Liverpool have conceded eight goals in their last three Premier League games, as many as they had in their first 13 under Arne Slot. However, the Reds have scored at least twice in each of their last nine league games, their longest such run since September-December 2021 .
