Liverpool 2-1 Leicester LIVE! Two Faes own goals – Premier League match stream, latest score, updates today
Liverpool round off what has been a remarkable 2022 in front of their home support at Anfield against Leicester tonight. Jurgen Klopp’s side have reached the final of every cup competition they’ve played over the past 12 months, which perhaps explains their relatively slow start to the season.
Still, with many of their players rested after the World Cup, there is a real feeling of progress. Even despite an indifferent opening few results, it would be foolish to write Liverpool off in the race for the top four and another three points would put them only two behind fourth-placed Tottenham. Having signed Cody Gakpo, it’s all set-up for a big push in 2023.
Leicester, meanwhile, were roundly beaten by Newcastle on Boxing Day and represent perhaps the perfect opposition for Liverpool tonight. While they do boast quality, the defensive frailty is obvious. Follow Liverpool vs Leicester LIVE with Standard Sport’s dedicated match blog!
