English Premier League Week 4 Kick-off: Saturday, 12:30 p.m. ET Line: Liverpool -158, Leicester City +400, Tie +315, Total: 2.5Liverpool welcomes defending champions Leicester City to Anfield on Saturday. Liverpool has started the English Premier League season in inconsistent fashion, with a win, a draw, and a loss in three matches played. Without first option Loris Karius, Simon Mignolet will start as goalkeeper. A shaky defense of Nathaniel Clyne, Dejan Lovren, Joel Matip, and James Milner will start, with Adam Lallana, Jordan Henderson, and Georginio Wijnaldum in center midfield. In attack, Jurgen Klopp will likely choose Sadio Mane, Roberto Firmino, and Philippe Coutinho to start. Leicester City will have Kasper Schmeichel in net, with Danny Simpson, Robert Huth, Wes Morgan, and Christian Fuchs in defense. Riyad Mahrez, Danny Drinkwater, Daniel Amartey, and Marc Albrighton will start in midfield, with Shinji Okazaki and Jamie Vardy expected up top. Liverpool’s defense has looked precarious all season long, and because of that over 2.5 goals will be scored. At the end of the day, it will be the visitors Leicester City leaving with all three points, winning by a score of 2-1.
