Liverpool lineup vs. Leicester: Predicted XI for Premier League clash as Arne Slot rings changes

Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at how Liverpool could line up for Thursday's Premier League clash with Leicester City.

Liverpool head coach Arne Slot should be working with an identical group of players for Boxing Day's Premier League battle with Leicester City at Anfield.

The Reds marched to an absorbing 6-3 win over Tottenham Hotspur in their final game before Christmas, where only Ibrahima Konate (knee) and Conor Bradley (hamstring) were missing through injury.

Neither man is back in full training just yet, meaning that a comeback against the Foxes is almost certainly off the cards, but Slot should not shy away from switching things up amid the unforgiving schedule.

However, one player almost certain to reprise his role is Mohamed Salah, now leading the way in terms of both goals and assists for the Premier League season after scoring two of his own and setting up two more in North London.

Salah may find himself linking up with three new faces up top, though, as the fresh legs of Curtis Jones, Diogo Jota and Darwin Nunez might be preferred to Cody Gakpo, Dominik Szoboszlai and Luis Diaz.

There ought to be no festive respite for Alexis Mac Allister and Ryan Gravenberch in midfield, though, and the same goes for Trent Alexander-Arnold, Alisson Becker and Virgil van Dijk in defence.

Jarell Quansah for Joe Gomez is a like-for-like swap that Slot could make in defence, though, while Kostas Tsimikas is now fully fit again and will fight tooth and nail to come in for the off-colour Andy Robertson.

Liverpool possible starting lineup:
Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Quansah, Van Dijk, Tsimikas; Mac Allister, Gravenberch; Salah, Jones, Jota; Nunez
