Liverpool can win the Premier League this weekend with help, but the Reds also know beating Leicester City at the King Power Stadium would put them within a win of doing it all by themselves.

Subs
Diogo Jota replaces Cody Gakpo for Liverpool around the hour mark.
Facundo Buonanotte and Patson Daka enter for Leicester, as Bobby De Cordova-Reid and Jamie Vardy exit the pitch.
0-0, 61′
Still zeroes despite Salah
Salah takes the ball away for a quick 1-2 with Luis Diaz, then puts Wout Faes on skates before curling a left-footer wide of the goal.
Halftime — Leicester 0-0 Liverpool
This feels destined for only one outcome, but so far Leicester’s on pace to stay a Premier League team for one more week.
Foxes aiming for halftime
Wilfried Ndidi denies Ibrahima Konate an assist and Mo Salah a goal with a hooked clearance near the goal line.
It’s the 41st minute and Ruud van Nistelrooy would be thrilled to reach the break at nil-nil.
Dominik Szoboszlai pumps free kick to keeper, Salah shot blocked
Liverpool are a bit frustrated as they control this game but haven’t come close to a goal since Salah’s early post.
Now Salah has a volley at the back post but it’s blocked out for a corner. Leicester clear it.
Better in the 29th minute, but still scoreless.
Full head of steam as Salah comes close
Third minute. Mo Salah. Smashed far post.
If indeed this is the intent we’re about to see from the Reds, forget about this game being a tussle.
Leicester City lineup
Hermansen, Pereira, Faes, Coady, Thomas, Ndidi, Soumare, El Khannouss, De Cordova-Reid, Mavididi, Vardy
Liverpool lineup

Leicester City vs Liverpool preview
Arne Slot’s Reds have a 13-point lead on Arsenal heading into the weekend with the Gunners going to Ipswich Town early Sunday. The next combination of two particular results — Liverpool wins or Arsenal losses — guarantees the title belongs to Liverpool.
Leicester knows they are big-time underdogs to beat Liverpool on Sunday, but Ruud van Nistelrooy’s Foxes are on the precipice of relegation and could even be confirmed for the drop ahead of kickoff. Leicester are 17 points back of 17th-place and can only claim 18 points this season, so their next dropped point would seal the deal even if their closest competitors lose all of theirs.
Of course, the Foxes would love any cause for hope of another Premier League season. And a home win over Liverpool would be a delight for their fans in any event.

Leicester City vs Liverpool prediction
This season marks the end of a decade that began with Leicester City’s stunning run to the Premier League title. It’s crazy to consider that the Foxes will soon be relegated for the second time. We can’t say whether this win will give the Reds the Premier League title, but we can say we expect them to win. Leicester City 1-3 Liverpool.
