Overview
Liverpool host defending champions Leicester City in their first home game of Premier League 2016/17 season on 10 September.
The Reds have had troubles early in their campaign as they have managed only four points from three games and are placed 11th in the Premier League table. With newly-appointed manager Jurgen Klopp at the helm, Liverpool had a successful visit to the Emirates Stadium beating Arsenal 4-3 in a tightly-contested clash.
However, Klopp's side suffered a 2-0 defeat against Burnley and played out a 1-1 draw against Tottenham Hotspurs in their subsequent fixtures. Conceding six goals in three games should worry the former Borussia Dortmund boss as his side takes on The Foxes, who have added firepower to their front line with a club-record signing of Algerian striker Islam Slimani.
Despite starting their season with a 1-2 defeat to Hull City, Claudio Ranieri's side came back to hold the Gunners to a 0-0 draw and beat Swansea City 2-1 at home. They would want to claim revenge against Liverpool, who were one of the two sides to have beaten the champions in the 2015/16 season.
