LIVERPOOL vs LEICESTER CITY! Starting XI Prediction & Preview

[@Sussibens]

I don’t see slot starting Elliot or endo tbh, I think we would definitely need Szobo for the pressing

[@lizardlordlordoflizards5096]

It's a home fixture, so I think Slot can rely on the crowd to energise the team. For me Endo and Eliot can easily do the job in this one.

[@FootballFactory6669]

@@lizardlordlordoflizards5096 Szobo was incredible against spurs, and even tho we probably should rest him, I feel like he will get the start considering his form rn.

[@karenmorris2557]

I would start kelleher

[@FootballFactory6669]

@@karenmorris2557 dont get too cocky

[@Slurped836]

Endo is quality but I can’t see slot picking him, sad seeing him on the bench game after game

[@nglforbes]

Slot didn't buy him klopp did slot likes certain types of midfielders that's just how it is.

[@abrisam2461]

He should start against Leicester we need to rest some players

[@pepguardiola3767]

Every year we said we would just "get buy" we ended up paying the price for not getting the reinforcements we need to get us over the line. LB and CB/DM needed ASAP if we want to win the biggest trophies

[@Coachbill254]

I agree 💯, we need to reinforce from a point of strength come January

[@cristianhughes6728]

So true

[@mileswalcott7241]

@pepguardiola3767 you are spot on I support your point of view

[@glennharney875]

FSG should have signed Konoplyanka in 2014 to help us win the league and they didn’t. A leopard never changes their spots.

[@dontaed.drummond3016]

It is that way because Endo is being underutilized. Tsimikas was injured. the squad is fine without transfers for years. even the academy produces quality

[@mc1968-z7w]

Don't agree with the midfield Craig, need to keep momentum. Play full strength and then take players off when 3 nil plus up. Unleash hell and then bring on the support act. Either way number 20 is coming home in May😀

[@tiborfeher6509]

7 days left to avoid disaster, club owners do not seem to be in a hurry though... this team really did deserve and should better be kept together.

[@domnickamatya3826]

I can't see slot changing our reliable midfielders.

[@MOONGREEDY]

He likes to rotate and rest players

[@yashhirani9645]

​@MOONGREEDY no he doesn't 😂 he plays the main 11 then subs doesn't rotate at all

[@MOONGREEDY]

@@yashhirani9645 Sometimes he starts Gakpo and rotates between Nunez and Diaz centrally and Jones is often interchangeable with Szobo or even Macca. Whilst Tsimikas was fit he was starting him some games over robbo. Outside of the prem he rotates even more with Endo, gks and youth.

[@bigmol1633]

​@@yashhirani9645 tbf he has roted jones in amd hasnt had chance to rotage elliot in.... I camt see him doing endo tho. More likely to play grav and if we get in a position to take him off do that

[@FitzroyGeorge-c4h]

It's not about changing our reliable midfielders, far as I'm concerned just as we have done in the past we'll get an effort with whoever plays. But that doesn't say we don't need recruitment, but I would hope the reasons are for having strength in depth thereby avoiding too much of a drop off. A new Dm would allow gravernberch to be more expansive, especially in those tight forward spaces because of his close technical skill. So not to replace reliable mids, but to strengthen

[@fahedal-ajmi4015]

My midfielders, Endu MacAlester and Szolosz. Liverpool 4-0

[@noamnravina611]

Merry Christmas to you Craig !!!

[@egrant3351]

Endo is not a creative MD. Slot wants all his midfielders to be creative on the ball. That's why Endo has been a bench warmer

[@liamleejames2717]

Merry Xmas Craig 🎄

I attended the 1st game Van Nistelrooy played in for the Mancs. It was the Charity shield at the Millennium stadium Cardiff. The Reds won the game 3-1.

Hey Craig I'm just thinking maybe the head to head and current form overview would make even more sense just before the score prediction near the end

[@alexlubowa4097]

Disagree with the mid field totally

[@davegnr1984]

I think Mac and Grav will start, Merry Christmas Reds!

[@MrBeattie2000]

Merry Christmas Craig! I reckon Sobo gets a rest in midfield, Curtis in. MacAlister and Grav starts. Get the feeling Arne starts strong as usual and uses the subs. Kostas in feels right!

[@XFabe7]

Szobo is starting, he was in the cover for the game

[@MrBeattie2000]

@XFabe7 u seen the match program already?

[@alextrainspotterhd6444]

Very understandable change midfield that I would go with that too considering we do have another game in 3 days

Happy Christmas Craig. I would rest Mo and play Nunez on the right wing put Cody up the middle and Lucho on the left give Darwin a chance to stretch his legs and get more involved

[@XFabe7]

Salah doesn't need rest, he's a machine. He will play. And Jota should start this game. The only question is whether Diaz or Gakpo start at LW

[@sipaz195]

Don't see Slot changing all 3 midfielders. Maybe Mac stays in instead of Endo. Darwin probably gets a start.

[@politikeren3378]

"Romjul" match in norway

[@Coachbill254]

Happy festivities everyone, Hello Craig and family. Thank you for another great predicted 11 upload. Here's my predicted 11 :- Alison Trent, Gomez, VVD, Robbo Szoboszlai, Gravenberch, Macca Salah , Lucho, Gakpo. My predicted score :- Liverpool 5-2 Leicester. Never change a winning team I'd say.

[@jonallen-dt2ui]

Vid starts @2:15

[@Rain188]

Grav can’t play Westham game. He is 1 card away from suspension. If he get yellow at Westham he will miss MU game

[@geegee8625]

Grav needs to start both games, then rested in cup games

[@rainmaker4111]

We need a new LB, DM, CB and a new false 9 like Gyokeres

[@Amora_TV2]

Alisson Trent Gomez Van Dijk Tsimikas Gravenberch Mac Allister Jones Salah Nunez Gakpo

Merry Xmas Craig to both you and your family. Thanks again for all of the excellent content you bring to us everyday. I moved to Canada many years ago from Liverpool, and it’s so refreshing to have a channel like yours that tells it how it is. I wish you continued success in 2025. YNWA.

[@ChesswiseMoves]

We have to rotate. We have to take risks. We can’t play our best team every single game. I would be unhappy if we didn’t rotate, it’s our easiest fixture, we can make substitutes.

[@GioRennalls]

I'm certain we will be fine against Leicester regardless of who we start. I saw against Spurs the start of something going forward we haven't seen for a long time. Konate coming back will help the defence and we will push on .

[@ChesswiseMoves]

@ Exactly, it’s a squad. We have to have trust in all our players. We have quality in all positions, we should feel confident with 1-2 changes.

[@geegee8625]

Tsimikas starts over robbo and same 10 as spurs game

[@ChesswiseMoves]

@@geegee8625 you know we have games every 3 days for the next month? These guys are human. We can’t put out the same squad every match, then we lose to the league to injuries and feel sorry for ourselves and blame luck. In my opinion we should rest some players

[@AkiraEdits]

I'd love to see Morton played too
