Match preview ahead of Leicester City v Liverpool in the Premier League at The King Power Stadium, with more memories to be made…



I FOUND myself in a moment of reflective awe last week.

Moments after Liverpool had secured their place in the League Cup semi final, I sat and stared at the pictures of the players celebrating with a smile beaming across my face.

Just when you thought this team, this squad, couldn’t find other ways to surprise you, produce other mad moments to write themselves into Liverpool Football Club folklore. Takumi Minamino, Caoimhin Kelleher, Diogo Jota, Leicester City dispatched just like that.

You might have felt before the game that this one wouldn’t matter. Well, a look at the faces of the players after full time confirmed it absolutely did. It always matters to these players and this manager. Because they live and love to entertain us, and they live and love to do it for one another.

Jurgen Klopp’s now famous post-match interview was filled with emotion, the love for his players and this club literally pouring out of him. His smile beaming at you, your smile beaming back. Laughing like children, living like lovers.

It means more because it means everything. It meant more than it did 90+ minutes before. It might mean more to Owen Beck than it would to Mo Salah, but it meant everything to Diogo. It would mean an awful lot to beat them again tonight. oman d20 live score

Beck probably won’t start even without Andy Robertson, because we have the best backup left back in the world at our disposal in Kostas Tsimikas. He might be one of the best left backs in the world full stop, to be honest. He’s really that good.
