Leicester v Liverpool LIVE: Premier League team news and updates – UK Times

Nearly time for kickoff at the King Power Stadium.

Can Liverpool seal just their second league title in 35 years today, or will the wait go on? Can Leicester postpone the inevitable?

The hosts are 19th, a huge 18 points off 17th-placed Wolves with six games to play.

Liverpool are top, ten points ahead of Arsenal with six games to play (five for the Gunners) and needing just six more points to seal the title.

Arsenal thrashed Ipswich 4-0, moving them to ten points behind Liverpool in the table, so there will be no title parade today.

With Ipswich vs Arsenal at just over the hour mark, the Gunners are 2-0 up and cruising against the 10-man Tractor Boys.

Barring a total collapse, Arsenal will prevent Liverpool from officially claiming the title today as they’ll move up to ten points behind the Reds.

The big news for Liverpool is that Trent Alexander-Arnold, absent since 11 March with an ankle injury, is back on the bench.

Darwin Nunez is also on the bench after illness, while Cody Gakpo and Dominik Szoboszlai swap into the starting XI, replacing Curtis Jones and Diogo Jota following their win over West Ham.

Wout Faes returns from injury as expected to start in defence, while 15-year-old midfielder Jeremy Monga also returns after injury.

Victor Kristiansen and Facundo Buonanotte, the latter unavailable to face parent club Brighton last weekend, are also both back on the bench.
