Today sees the Reds play one of their biggest games of the season. Jürgen Klopp takes on Brendan Rodgers in a game that could see the Reds finish the day 13 points clear at the end of the day. Here is the confirmed Liverpool lineup to face Leicester City:

Goalkeeper: Alisson Becker

Alisson was at his very best when the Reds became world champions in Qatar, we will need him on his best form today.

Right back: Trent Alexander-Arnold

The Scouser in our team is a big game player, his switch of play could be crucial to us on the counter attack.

Centre back: Virgil van Dijk

Big Virg will be essential in keeping Jamie Vardy quiet today.

Centre back: Joe Gomez

JoGo has been incredibly impressive in recent weeks, making him hard to oust from the team when Joel Matip returns to fitness.

Left back: Andy Robertson

Andy Robbo has become our own little yard dog. With a big game in store, we need him at his unsettling best.

Defensive midfield: Jordan Henderson

We will need Hendo on high alert today, stopping the ball into Jamie Vardy will be a game changer.

Centre midfield: Naby Keita

The Guinean midfielder is playing like the man we bought. He has been bright on the ball and has been netting with regularity.

Centre midfield: Gini Wijnaldum

The Dutchman is back to fitness in time for the crunch clash, his work rate could be the difference.

Right wing: Mo Salah

The Egyptian King has been back to his best in recent weeks, producing flashes of brilliance when we needed him.

Striker: Bobby Firmino

Bobby enters the game fresh off scoring back to back winning goals in the Club World Cup. Another tonight?

Left wing: Sadio Mane

Sadio was brilliant when we beat The Foxes in October, he will have been the first name in the Liverpool lineup to face Leicester City.
