Tonight, Liverpool will be hosting Leicester City in the Premier League's marquee match. Facing relegation pressure, Lister City's defense is riddled with holes and has been dropping points for a while, while Liverpool is looking to make a push for the top four, and with six consecutive victories under their belt, they are afraid to show no mercy in this battle, and the visitors have a good chance of winning. (The match will be broadcast live on Now 621 and 611 at 3am on Tuesday.)
Lister City's managerial change has not paid off, with only one win since Dean Smith took over, and one win, two draws and two defeats in the remaining five matches. In the recent match against Fulham, the defense was like a sham, Jimmy Wardy even missed a twelve-yard penalty, and finally lost 3-5, conceding 12 goals in five matches, and has slipped to the edge of the relegation zone, and the situation of relegation is worrisome.
To make matters worse, Deane Smith doesn't seem to have an effective strategy to deal with the situation, rushing in and pressing the attack, only to leave the gates of an already fragile defense wide open. Both Soungoo and Faith have made mistakes at times, and Leicester City have conceded a staggering 64 goals this season. And with veteran Wah Dee's form slipping significantly and Ian Nazu injured, only James Maddison and Harvey Bennis are left to struggle and fight alone.
