Liverpool will face Leicester City in a match to maintain their relatively comfortable lead in the Premier League standings, with the goal of closing the year as league leaders.
One of the most traditional days in English football is here: Boxing Day in the Premier League. It’s a day full of matches that serves as the perfect excuse to continue the holiday festivities and reminds us that this season is about sharing joy with everyone.
With matches scheduled every December 26 since 1860, the tradition of sharing football gives us a game that, on paper, looks highly enticing: Liverpool vs. Leicester City.
The current Premier League leaders are focused on retaining their spot at the top of the table to end the year in first place. This time, the “Reds” will host the “Foxes” in a match that, at first glance, favors the home team.
Liverpool is currently one of the best teams in Europe and undoubtedly the best in England at the moment. With one of the league’s strongest offenses, goals are almost guaranteed at Anfield. However, it’s worth noting that Arne Slot’s squad also boasts one of the two best defenses this season, which will surely pose a tough challenge for the visitors.
On Leicester’s side, the newly promoted team hasn’t enjoyed a triumphant return to England’s top tier. In stark contrast to their opponents, they have one of the league’s weakest defenses and offenses and sit just above the relegation zone.
The match is scheduled for 2:00 p.m. Central Mexico time.
