With the Premier League title in their sights, Liverpool heads to the King Power Stadium to face Leicester City on Easter Sunday.
While the Reds are focused on clinching a historic 20th top-flight title, Leicester’s situation is dire.
A loss for the Foxes could confirm their relegation, leaving them scrambling for survival in a season that’s been full of disappointments.
For Liverpool, this is an opportunity to tighten their grip on the league, but manager Arne Slot must make key decisions about his starting XI.
One area of concern is the right-back position.
Trent Alexander-Arnold has been struggling with an ankle injury, though he’s been training this week.
Slot confirmed that Alexander-Arnold won’t start but “might” make the bench against Leicester.
With Joe Gomez sidelined, the job of starting right-back falls to youngster Bradley.
Slot also has decisions to make regarding other areas of the pitch.
After resting Dominik Szoboszlai and Andy Robertson last time out, they are expected to return to the lineup.
Robertson should reclaim his spot from Kostas Tsimikas, and Szoboszlai is likely to take his place in midfield.
The attack is another area for debate, with Diogo Jota struggling for form.
Slot may opt for Cody Gakpo to start from the left, with Luis Diaz through the middle.
Liverpool’s predicted XI features: Alisson Becker; Conor Bradley, Ibrahima Konate, Virgil van Dijk, Andrew Robertson; Ryan Gravenberch, Alexis Mac Allister, Dominik Szoboszlai; Mohamed Salah, Diogo Jota, Luis Díaz.
With the stakes high, Liverpool will be keen to bounce back from a recent loss at Fulham and extend their winning run.
With Leicester’s hopes of survival hanging by a thread, Liverpool will be looking to capitalize on a vulnerable opponent and inch closer to their Premier League crown.
