Sports Innovation previews the Premier League match between Leicester City and Liverpool and offers team stats and betting tips with the latest odds.

Only six days after their 3-3 EFL Cup thriller, Leicester City and Liverpool meet again albeit at the King Power Stadium this time around.

Liverpool won the previous showdown between the two sides on penalties after finishing 3-3 at Anfield. The Reds, though, will have key players back for this clash. With a six-point gap to leaders Manchester City in the Premier League table to close down, they’ll throw everything at Leicester.

The Foxes may have home advantage, but their squad isn’t as rested as Liverpool’s. This will be their third game in six days, and that could have a telling effect on Tuesday’s encounter.
