Prediction: 3-0
Leicester
David faces Goliath at Anfield as Liverpool welcome Leicester City in the closing match of the Boxing Day program. The Reds are determined to regain the Premier League trophy and they must be high on confidence following a thrilling 6-3 win over Tottenham Hotspur. Arne Slot is unlikely to make changes to the team that outplayed Spurs as the former Feyenoord boss has no fresh injury worries. Both Ibrahima Konate and Conor Bradley are sidelined with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team.
The Foxes, on the other hand, suffered a heart-breaking loss to fellow relegation strugglers Wolverhampton at the weekend. As Leicester City have been struggling at the back of late, anything but a routine home win would be a big surprise. All Wilfred Ndidi, Abdul Fatawu, and Ricardo Pereira remain on the sidelines with injuries for the visiting team.
Highlighted Player (Mohamed Salah):
Mohamed Salah is considered one of the best African players. Salah began his senior career at El Mokawloon, scoring 11 goals in 41 league appearances for the club and in 2012 he moved to Europe, signing a four-year deal with Swiss side Basel.
The pacey winger, who is capable of playing as a striker as well was producing outstanding displays for the RotBlau from 2012 to 2014 and, as a result, Chelsea chiefs decided to sign him on 26 January, 2015 for a fee of £11 million. Mohamed Salah, though, failed to impress in the Premier league and one year later he was sent on loan to Fiorentina.
After making 16 league appearances for the Viola in the Serie A, the left-footed winger signed a loan deal with Roma on 6 August, 2015. The Romans made the contract permanent on 3 August, 2016. Speaking of his international career, Salah made his Egypt debut on 3 September, 2011 in a 2-1 loss to Sierra Leone. It has to be noted that he was named Roma’s player of the season (2015/2016).
