After two surprising draws in the Premier League, Liverpool bounced back with an electrifying 6-3 win over Tottenham! This victory put them at the top of the Premier League table for Christmas, marking the 21st time they’ve done this in English football history. Out of the previous 20 times, Liverpool turned this festive lead into a league title 11 times—great news for Reds fans dreaming of silverware!
Arne Slot’s debut season as Liverpool manager has been a blast, and with this being their last home match of 2024, he’ll be eager to keep that amazing Anfield vibe going. Liverpool have lost just three of their last 69 home league games. Plus, they’ve totally dominated Boxing Day fixtures, winning their last seven Premier League games on December 26th with a jaw-dropping score of 20-1!
Liverpool’s opponents, Leicester City, are having a tough season under Ruud van Nistelrooy. After a promising start, the Foxes have faced back-to-back heavy defeats, losing 4-0 to Newcastle and 3-0 to Wolves. These results have left Leicester teetering just above the relegation zone, sitting two points clear in 17th place.
To make things worse, Leicester’s Boxing Day record is pretty dismal. They’ve only managed one win in their last ten games on December 26th. And when it comes to facing Liverpool, it’s not looking good either, with 17 defeats in their last 25 matchups.
