Liverpool saw off Aston Villa in their return to Premiಞer League action to keep pace in the race for the top four.
Jurgen Klopp has also received early positive news in the transfer market with Cody 🌳Gakpo on his way to t𝐆he red half of Merseyside.
Former Liverpool manager and current Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers is in a less favourable spot. The Foxes remain a bottom half team after their ꦓ3-0 los꧙s at the hands of Newcastle.
Where Gakpo is something of a luxury for Klopp, Rodgers is in dire ne﷽ed of January reinforcements as Le💜icester aim to pull away from the bottom three.
Total Goals: Over 3.5
There has been over 2.5 goals in 10 of 15 for Liverpool and🍎 10 of 16 for Leicester. The 4/9 price on over 2.5 is not worth backing here. Instead, over 3.5 is the way to go.
Liverpool’s back linಞe again looked shaky 🍰against Villa.
Like all teams under Rodgers’ stewardship, Leicester will play an open match at Anfield, committing men forward in possession and likely allowing Liverpool space with the ball. Wit🍷h a lot of attacking talent on show and limited faith in the defences, there’s value here.
Anytime Goalscorer: Darwin Nunez
Darwin Nunez continues to miss chances, and has been on the receiving end of 🌊plenty of criticism.
From a betting perspective, though, it is crucial that Nunez continues to get goal-scoring opportunities. His record with Liverpool remains decent, even if i♏t is grossly overshadowed by the achievements of Erling Haaland.
Against a Leicester defence which was torn apart by Newcast𝓀le a few days ago, there is definite🌳ly value on Nunez at this price.
Both Teams To Score: Yes
Both team𒆙s have ♐scored in Liverpool’s last four league matches.
Leicester, for all their struggles in 2022-23, have averaged two goals per ma🐼tch on the road and have fo🗹und the net in every away fixture this term.
In a match where goals are expected, this seems a very ♛reasonable price for BTTS to la🔴nd.
