da bet7： Liverpool face another vital game in their Premier League season when they take on Leicester City at Anfield on Wednesday.
Assuming Manchester City will take all three points against Newcastle United on Tuesday, the Reds must win in order to maintain their four point advantage at the top of the table.
Jurgen Klopp’s side have toiled for recent victories against Brighton and Crystal Palace, and must rediscover their ability to dominate matches this week.
On the chalkboard
Domination usually comes as a result of winning the midfield battle.

According to WhoScored’s stats, Liverpool enjoyed 71% of the possession against Crystal Palace last time out. However, they struggled to cope with the high intensity pressing and harrying from the Eagles.
Jordan Henderson, who started against Palace, struggled to overcome Palace’s pressure, and as such reverted to playing safe, sideways football.
Leicester have the capacity to replicate Palace’s approach on Wednesday, and as such Klopp must take measures to ensure that his side are better prepared to cope with this.
Time for Wijnaldum
Georginio Wijnaldum has been in fine form so far this season and offers a more dynamic presence in the middle of the park than Henderson.
The 51-cap Netherlands international has the pace, energy, power and agility to evade the opposition press and move the ball forwards positively. The 28-year-old should be entrusted to do this against the Foxes.
What’s more, Wijnaldum’s pace allows him to recover his position quickly, so if Liverpool are caught out by Leicester’s aggression, the Dutchman will reliably be able to offset the danger by resuming a good holding position quickly.
