Liverpool are set to host Leicester City in a Premier League game at Anfield on Friday night, and new Reds signing Cody Gakpo could make his club debut.
Jurgen Klopp's men have tasted recent success in a 3-1 win at Aston Villa on Boxing Day, with the visitors on the day coming in on the back of a 3-0 home defeat against Newcastle.
Liverpool can only go as far as move closer to fifth-placed Manchester United with a win, while Leicester are struggling at the bottom half of the table but former Reds boss Brendan Rodgers will be motivated to pick up a positive result.

Liverpool team news and squad
Gakpo stands a chance to play but Liverpool are still without Arthur, Diogo Jota and Luis Diaz, and although Klopp admitted that he wants Roberto Firmino to extend his contract in June 2023 despite the Dutchman's arrival, the Brazilian is unlikely to play this game on account of a calf injury.
While James Milner and Curtis Jones aim to make their comebacks from injury by the next fixture against Brentford on January 2, World Cup finalist Ibrahima Konate could be one of the changes in the XI other than the availability of Harvey Elliott and Fabio Carvalho.
Liverpool Possible XI: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Thiago, Fabinho, Elliott; Salah, Nunez, Carvalho
