A Pre-season Singaporean Showdown
Key Stats
– Liverpool’s journey to Singapore marks the departure of their long-serving captain, Jordan Henderson.
– Leicester City’s pre-season run in Asia started with an impressive 1-0 victory over the Thailand club, Port.
In a thrilling end to a German pre-season stint, Liverpool saw a high-scoring showdown against Greuther Furth, resulting in an 8-goal spectacle. The Premier League giant now ventures into the Asian landscape, ready to encounter Championship team Leicester City in an engaging friendly match at the renowned Singapore National Stadium this Sunday.
Contrastingly, Leicester City, who recently faced the bitter taste of relegation, have commenced their Asian escapade on a high note. They marked an impressive 1-0 victory over the Thailand club, Port. As Liverpool set foot in Singapore, the two teams prepare for a decisive face-off, promising an intriguing clash.
The Liverpool Story
The red side of Merseyside have had an action-packed run leading up to this game. Having initiated their German training camp with a commendable four-goal draw against Karlsruher SC, the Liverpool squad once again showcased their offensive prowess against Greuther Furth. Despite being confronted with several defensive loopholes, a last-minute equaliser by Mohamed Salah managed to maintain the Reds’ unbeaten run.

However, their journey to Singapore is marked with a noticeable void, following the departure of their long-standing captain, Jordan Henderson, to Al Ettifaq, Steven Gerrard’s squad. His departure opens up the platform for others to claim the captain’s armband. The team’s next adventure includes a high-profile game against Bayern Munich, followed by a clash with Darmstadt 98.
The Leicester City Side of Things
Leicester City, post their disappointing 2-1 defeat to Peterborough United, found their footing back and strung together three consecutive pre-season wins under manager Enzo Maresca. However, the much-anticipated match against Tottenham Hotspur was abandoned due to unfavourable weather conditions.
Their last match against Port saw Wilfred Ndidi lead the team to victory with a quick goal in the first seven minutes. This upcoming fixture against Liverpool marks the end of Leicester City’s pre-season, as they aim to secure a swift return to the Premier League. The loss of key player Harvey Barnes to Newcastle United and no significant attacking reinforcements might pose a challenge, adding intrigue to the upcoming game.
Recent Clash Histories
Former Liverpool head coach, Brendan Rodgers, spearheaded Leicester’s 1-0 triumph over Liverpool in December 2021. Yet, Liverpool retaliated with three consecutive victories over the 2015-16 Premier League champions, the most recent one at the King Power Stadium.
Potential Lineups and Absentees
Fabinho and Henderson’s absence due to transfer market activities and several injuries including Thiago Alcantara, Stefan Bajcetic, and Conor Bradley might influence Liverpool’s starting eleven. Joe Gomez might replace Bradley at right-back, while Trent Alexander-Arnold could be repositioned in the midfield.
Leicester’s journey to Singapore has been without Conor Coady due to a foot injury. Also, doubts linger over the availability of Jamie Vardy, Wout Faes, and James Justin due to minor issues.
Predictions
Based on the recent form and available data, the following predictions have been formed:
- Under/Over: Given Liverpool’s consistent scoring record in recent friendlies, a prediction for ‘Over 2.5’ goals seems justifiable. Considering their offensive strength and defensive vulnerabilities, this is expected to be a high-scoring encounter.
- Correct Score: A 3-1 victory in favour of Liverpool could be a possible outcome. Liverpool’s attacking might, coupled with Leicester’s defensive concerns, provides a solid foundation for this prediction.
- Goalscorer: Mohamed Salah, given his recent scoring form and crucial role in the Liverpool attack, is expected to find the back of the net in this fixture.
