Tuesday evening’s Premier League action from the King Power Stadium sees leaders Leicester City host Liverpool.

The Foxes opened up a three point gap at the top of the table when the thumped Stoke City 3-0 last time out in the league, and will move on to fifty points with another victory here.

With just fifteen games to play the East Midlands side, who this time last year were rock bottom of the league are odds on to finish in the top four.

Shinji Okazaki is fit despite being taken off injured it that win against the Potters though new signing Daniel Amartey is unlikely to feature.

Top scorer Jamie Vardy is favourite to get the first goal of the game at a price of 6.0 (5/1) with a variety of firms ahead of 7.5 (13/2) chance Leandro Ulloa.

The home win can be backed at 2.7 (17/10) with Betfred, with the visitors as highly priced as the 3.4 (12/5) on offer from Bet 365. The draw is widely available at 2.88 (15/8).

Since beating Norwich City in dramatic fashion two weeks ago, Jurgen Klopp’s side have booked their place in the final of the League Cup and also drew 0-0 with West Ham United in the fourth round of the FA Cup.

The Reds currently sit in seventh place, eight points behind the top four and victory here would move them to within ten points of their opponents.

Jurgen Klopp is set to recall a number of his first team regulars for the game, including captain Jordan Henderson who has recovered from a heel problem.

Christian Benteke is a 7.0 (6/1) shot to open the scoring with Paddy Power, with Roberto Firmino available at the same price with the same firm.

Benteke got the only goal of the game when the sides met at Anfield on Boxing Day though both of last season’s meetings between the sides saw four goals scored.

You can back there being over 3.5 this time around at 3.8 (14/5) with Bet Victor while Betfair offer 1.85 (17/20) for both teams to score.
