Premier League leader Liverpool are back in action on Boxing Day as they host Leicester City at Anfield.

Arne Slot's Reds have lost just once in all competitions this season and have a four point lead atop the Premier League with a game in hand. Leicester City are, on paper, an advantageous matchup given the Foxes have allowed nine goals in their last three games.

Mohamed Salah looks to continue his incredible start of the season, he became the first player in league history to reach double digit figures in goals and assists before Christmas and now leads the league in both categories with 15 and 11 respectively.

Slot will be without Ibrahima Konaté as the center back continues to recover from a knee injury. However, Liverpool have a mostly healthy squad as we reach the halfway point of the season and are in prime position to continue their dominant run.

Here's how Liverpool could look against Leicester City on Boxing Day.
