Due to “personal reasons,” Brazilian midfielder Fabinho was left off of Liverpool’s matchday roster for their matchup against Leicester City. Harvey Elliott has taken his spot in the starting lineup as Jurgen Klopp only makes one adjustment from the team that defeated Aston Villa 3-1 on Boxing Day. Leicester makes two changes to the team that lost to Newcastle 3-0 at home. Ayoze Perez starts for just the second time this year, while Wilfred Ndidi is also added. As a result of Dennis Praet’s injury, Youri Tielemans is demoted to the sidelines. Jamie Vardy starts on the bench due to James Maddison’s injury as well.

When Leicester took the lead in the fourth minute, they had a fantastic start. Dewsbury-Hall ran through the heart of Liverpool’s defence, beat Alisson with a calm finish after Jordan Henderson missed a tackle, and took advantage of the opening.

Without the typically ubiquitous Fabinho, Liverpool initially found it difficult to produce a significant reaction to the early setback. The first significant attempt at goal by the home team didn’t come until the 23rd minute when Mohamed Salah missed wide after a pullback from Darwin Nunez. However, Liverpool was up at the half thanks to two wonderful gifts.

The first occurred in the 38th minute when Faes slid in at the near post and sent the ball spinning over his goalkeeper’s head and into the far corner of the net from a fairly innocent cross from Trent Alexander-Arnold that was intended for Danny Ward’s clutches.

Surprisingly, less than seven minutes later, Faes replicated the technique. After charging into the Leicester box, Nunez’s dink over Ward bounced off the post, and Faes was unable to swiftly reposition his body. As a result, the ball went into his own net, and Faes undoubtedly wished the ground would swallow him whole.Nunez had an excellent opportunity to score when placed through on goal, but he side-footed over the crossbar, allowing Liverpool to maintain a comfortable lead.
