Liverpool hope to retain Premier League title this season, but the race is very close
Klopp replaced Rodgers in the Anfield dugout and he guided the Reds to their former glory, winning the Champions League in 2019 and adding a very first Premier League title a year later.
But the Foxes are flying high heading into Sunday’s game and know that a win will go a long way to establishing their status as serious title contenders.
Nonetheless, Rodgers will know the scale of the task ahead of his side – especially as Liverpool are only doing do not lose at home.
In fact, the Merseysiders are undefeated in the Premier League at Anfield in their last 63 games!
It is the longest joint race in club history, tying a streak between February 1978 and December 1980 under legendary manager Bob Paisley.
And if Liverpool avoid defeat to Leicester on Sunday night, Klopp will break Paisley’s record and lead the history books with 64 unbeaten home league games.
The reds should be warned, however; guess which team ended the Paisley race in January 1981?
Yes, you guessed it right – Leicester!
