The Reds extend their unbeaten run at Anfield to 64 matches following a resounding victory over the Foxes on Sunday night.
Jurgen Klopp was forced to field relatively a weaker starting XI for the Premier League outing against Leicester City with several of his first-choice players on the treatment table.
However, even a weakened Liverpool side proved too hard to stop as they picked up all three points with a comfortable 3-0 win.
The champions were in control from early on and took the lead after just 21 minutes when Jonny Evans headed into his own net from a corner.
Diogo Jota, continuing his fine run of form, then doubled his side’s lead four minutes before the break as he glanced a header in after meeting Andy Robertson’s cross.
It was Roberto Firmino who stuck the final blow with yet another headed goal, beating Kasper Schmeichel from six yards.
