Liverpool are two games away from their second Premier League title, with the achievement now looking like a formality.

The Reds take on relegation-threatened Leicester City this afternoon at the King Power Stadium with Liverpool aware that a win today against the Foxes means a win next weekend’s against Tottenham will confirm the Premier League title.

As a result to such an early potential championship win, transfer rumours have kicked in earlier than normal for the Reds, with Liverpool weighing up whether to sell Kostas Tsimikas or Andy Robertson this summer in a bid to overhaul the left-back position.

And Arne Slot’s squad selection today against Leicester could suggest that there has been a twist in the tale between the two fullbacks on who could stay or go in the summer transfer window.

Tsimikas reclaimed his spot in Liverpool’s starting XI after last weekend’s win against West Ham, with the Greek international selected by Slot over Andy Robertson amid growing transfer tension between the two players.

With Premier League clubs interested in signing Tsimikas, the former Olympiakos man looks like the most likely of the two to depart this summer, even with the 28-year-old becoming a surprise regular for Slot at Liverpool this season.

And the Dutch manager selecting Tsimikas over Robertson for today’s crucial away trip to Leicester could suggest that a transfer U-turn is in the works, with Liverpool’s one-game-a-week schedule likely to see the 28-year-old keep the left-back position for the remainder of the season.

Indeed, Liverpool’s interest in Milos Kerkez will likely see a left-sided fullback leave Anfield this summer, and with Tsimikas once again in the starting XI, opinions could be changing behind the scenes on who could depart Merseyside.

A new left-back is set to be brought in this summer, with Robertson and Tsimikas likely to be demoted regardless of who remains as Liverpool look to overhaul the squad in a big way in the upcoming transfer window.

And whilst fans will have their pick on who should leave between Robertson and Tsimikas, the question still remains that Liverpool have a massive decisions to make in the off-season, with both players cult heroes in their own right.

With Slot starting Tsimikas today against Leicester, though, the Liverpool manager could have his own opinion on who he would prefer to keep this summer, with Robertson potentially out of the door if the Scottish international fails to reclaim his starting XI spot.
