Head-to-head
Leicester won this fixture 2-0 last season with Jamie Vardy scoring twice, but that is their only victory in the last nine Premier League meetings (D2, L6).
Liverpool claimed a 4-1 victory when these teams met in September and could beat the Foxes home and away in the same season for the first time since 2001-02.
Leicester City
The Foxes have lost their last five league games - the only previous reigning top-flight champions to lose six in a row was Everton in 1928-29.
Leicester have kept just two clean sheets in their last 22 games in all competitions, and none in their last 10.
They are the only team in the top five European leagues not to have scored a league goal in 2017 - they have gone six games without a goal.
Leicester could equal the club record of seven league matches without a goal, set in the old Division Two between November 1987 and January 1988.
Jamie Vardy's goal against Sevilla ended his nine-match barren streak. He has scored in just one of his last 18 Premier League games.
Liverpool
Liverpool's victory over Tottenham in their last match ended a winless run of five league games.
The Reds have gone three matches without an away win in the Premier League (D2, L1).
Sadio Mane has been directly involved in 15 Premier League goals, more than any other Liverpool player this season (11 goals, four assists).
Adam Lallana has failed to score or provide an assist in his six league appearances in 2017 after supplying four goals and four assists in his final seven league matches last year.

Rodgers team was far superior - no doubt about it
And that's not just because of Suarez

We got this game very wrong. We need to do a Leicester and go back to bloody basics. Also how Firmino stayed on the pitch is beyond me. He was woeful.
------
Getting back to basics is just the way I would put it. The club has lost its identity not just under Klopp but it's been a gradual process.
Once the pressing game fails the players don't know what to do and resort to punting the ball into the box and hoping for the best.
Where's the simple pass and move that we used to be renowned for? Failing that where is the passion and the steeliness? Or the desire to win ?
Back to the drawing board for us I think....
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah totally....
No one looking to make things happen apart from Mane.
Coutinho, Firmino and Lallana are all out of form
It's time for Sturridge and Origi to come back into the fold

Sturridge
He's not playing today due to a running nose.

He would have done a lot better than Firmino that's for sure.

Rodgers was clueless we lost 6-1 to Stoke.
I don't want to see Lucas ever as a cb. He was really bad. We need in the summer some physical players with pace at the back.

Amazing goal, wow

Forget this season. I even think we won't get into Europa cup. Time to think about next season. The squad is full of averagw players.
We have no leaders. We get bullied easily. We struggle against the bottom teams and battling/ physical teams. Fed up with it really.
I'm sure a lot of our fans especially her will say we missed Henderson. I think we would have still lost the game if he'd played. 1st he's not a key player. 2nd he's played in this types of games and we lost. He's a decent player but nothing more. We need to stop overrating our players and ask for changes. Time for big changes.
Can, Henderson, Karius, Milner, Lovren should be only squad players. Origi, Mignolet, Lucas should be gone.
We need min 5 new players.
Klopp needs to learn and takes each game differently. Needs to learn how to approach these types of games. It's happening all the time. Burnley Bournemouth Hull Swansea and Leicester. We conceded 14 goals against them. Not good enough Klopp. Sort it out

I agree with your post but the fact is we always miss the much maligned Henderson.
When he's out we are usually inept.
