Follow live coverage as Leicester City face Liverpool in the Premier League today.
A six-match win streak has lifted the Reds back into contention for a top-four finish despite a largely dismal season, but Jurgen Klopp’s team must continue to win and hope Newcastle or Man United drop more points in their final fixtures.
Dean Smith has not yet had the big impact hoped for since he replaced Brendan Rodgers and Leicester are two points from safety with three games to play including this one – though they have a better goal difference than Leeds, Everton and Nottingham Forest, which could yet prove important.
