Leicester City will welcome Liverpool at the King Power Stadium this Tuesday night as they look to bounce back by securing a positive result in the Premier League. The Foxes suffered a 6-3 defeat at the hands of Manchester City last weekend, so Brendan Rodgers will be eager to get a good response from his players in midweek.
The East Midlands outfit could set themselves up in a 4-4-1-1 formation with Rodgers expected to make a few changes to his first XI for this game. Jamie Vardy was rested on the bench versus Man City, so he should get the nod to lead the line for Leicester up top.
4-4-1-1 Leicester City Predicted Lineup To Face Liverpool
Defence
Kasper Schmeichel will feature in goal for the Foxes after shipping in six goals in his last league appearance. Jannik Vestergaard will probably get a chance to play alongside Wilfred Ndidi as they try to keep the Liverpool frontline quiet during the 90 minutes.
Marc Albrighton will once again fill in as a makeshift right-back while Luke Thomas gets another opportunity to impress as the left-back. Rodgers will ask both of them to keep a good defensive shape at the back and not allow the opposition’s wide players from getting in behind them out on the flanks.
Timothy Castagne will be available for selection on the bench as he provides cover for the full-back positions.

Midfield
Boubakary Soumare and Youri Tielemans will anchor the midfield for the home team as they try to make life tough for Liverpool at the centre of the park.
Ademola Lookman will probably get a start on the left flank while Ayoze Perez features on the other side as the right-winger.
James Maddison could get the freedom to express himself from the number ten position. We can expect the English attacker to play on the shoulders of Jamie Vardy and carry most of the creative burden for Leicester in the final third.
Hamza Choudhury will be named on the bench and might come on to influence the game in the second half if required.
Attack
Jamie Vardy will lead the charge for the Foxes in the attacking end of the field. The English striker scored two goals versus the Reds in the EFL Cup last week, so he will fancy his chances of finding the back of the net once again on Tuesday night.
