Leicester vs Liverpool – Reaction

The three points taken from Liverpool moves Leicester up to 15^th, although they are just two-points better than Crystal Palace in the relegation zone and five better than David Moyes’ Sunderland down at the bottom. There was a real feeling after the game that Leicester had turned a corner however, and Coral traders have them priced at 11/4 to be relegated. A few more performances like the one vs Klopp’s boys and they will retain their place in the top-flight with plenty to spare.

Another red face for Klopp

What can we say about Liverpool? Monday’s result means that they have now won just one of their last seven starts, and in the first two months of 2017 they have beaten only Tottenham. That win, in itself, was impressive, but their form this year has been poor, especially for a side who showed so much promise earlier in campaign.

Fans will now turn to the manager and ask – after a couple of transfer windows with Klopp at the helm, why is the defence so poor, and why don’t they have a proven goal scorer? In their first seven league matches of the year they have allowed a dozen goals.

Liverpool may have beaten Spurs and taken a draw with Chelsea during that time, but they have gone down to Swansea and Hull, as well as that Leicester defeat, suggesting that they struggle against the division’s weaker sides.

The Reds are now as big as 66/1 to finish as Premier League winners, which won’t happen, and not just because of Chelsea’s form. A top-four finish would have been the pre-season aim at Anfield, surely, and they can be backed at even money with us to bag a place in the Champions League.
