After a demoralising defeat at home to a relegation rival, there are two ways of looking at a trip to Liverpool. The first is that, with no expectations on Leicester City to win, the pressure reduces. But equally, with Arne Slot’s side in exceptional form and banging in goals for fun, there may be nerves that it could get ugly.
City have conceded seven goals without reply in their past two matches to zap the festive cheer. They are at risk of being overtaken by both Ipswich and Wolves on Boxing Day. What would help their cause is if Mads Hermansen is fit.
Manager Ruud van Nistelrooy will be giving an update on the City number one at his press conference this afternoon. You can get all the quotes on our blog below, with the manager due to take his seat at 12.30.
