The Premier League clash between Leicester City and Liverpool on April 20, 2025, at 4:30 PM BST is poised to be a pivotal encounter for both teams. Taking place at the King Power Stadium, this match carries significant implications for Leicester, who are currently battling relegation under manager Ruud van Nistelrooy . Conversely, Liverpool stands as a strong contender for the league title, potentially needing only a few more points to secure their championship status depending on other results .
Leicester City drew on the road in their last game. A 2-2 scoreline was played out against Brighton at The American Express Community Stadium. Ruud van Nistelrooy's team had 41% possession and recorded six shots on target, with Stephy Mavididi and Memeh Caleb Okoli scoring one goal each.
Liverpool won their previous game, beating West Ham United at home. It was a 2-1 victory at Anfield. The Merseyside side had six shots on goal and boasted 55% possession, with Luis Diaz and Virgil van Dijk finding the net.
Leicester City's spirited draw against Brighton, secured with goals from Mavididi and Okoli after Joao Pedro's two penalties for Brighton, may be too little, too late in their season. Fatawu is out injured for the Liverpool game, but Buonanotte, Faes, Monga, and Kristiansen could return.
Leicester City possible starting lineup: Hermansen; Pereira, Okoli, Coady, Justin; Ndidi, Soumare; McAteer, El Khannouss, Mavididi; Vardy
Liverpool possible starting lineup: Alisson; Bradley, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Gravenberch, Mac Allister; Salah, Szoboszlai, Diaz; Gakpo
Liverpool have been without Trent Alexander-Arnold since before the March international break but the wantaway defender could return to the matchday squad on Sunday. Slot has confirmed that the right-back won't start but could feature among the substitutes.
Conor Bradley will be the undisputed starter at right-back given Joe Gomez is also absent and the Northern Irishman impressed on his return to the starting lineup last time out. Alisson also came back into the side against West Ham following a concussion and made some crucial saves.

In the UK, Sky Sports will broadcast the game live, while fans in the US can tune in via USA Network or streaming services like Sling TV . However, information regarding a free live stream option remains undisclosed. International viewers have access through platforms such as Optus in Australia and Fubo in Canada
