Liverpool look to edge closer to a 20th league title on Easter Sunday when they visit Leicester City.

Liverpool look to edge closer to a 20th league title on Easter Sunday when they visit Leicester City.

Two more wins for the Reds’ will guarantee the ultimate prize in English football.

Van Nistelrooy’s men, on the other hand, are destined for relegation and could mathematically be down before the game kicks off if other results do not go their way over the weekend.

Although Liverpool’s performances in the last few months have varied, five victories out of the last six in the Premier League shows the results are still coming at a time when results are all that matters.

On paper Arne Slot’s men should dispatch the Foxes without too much fuss, but as seen at Fulham recently, any complacency will be punished by any team at the top level.

Leicester, buoyed by their recent draw at Brighton, have nothing to lose and they can play without fear, which can make the game difficult for the league leaders.

Jamie Vardy, in particular, with a good record against Liverpool and despite his age, will look to spoil any party the away side may be planning.

Liverpool will look to kill any hopes of an upset with an early goal or two and if this happens I expect a handsome victory for the champions elect.
