'You have to fear' - Alan Shearer's Liverpool prediction speaks volumes for Leicester City clash

Alan Shearer fears Leicester City will be blown away by Liverpool

The Reds entered the festive season as Christmas number one after a thrilling 6-3 victory over Tottenham Hotspur.

With a game in hand over their rivals, Arne Slot's side are in a good position to hold onto their advantage in the Premier League.

As for their opponents tonight Leicester, they have yet to receive a big new manager bounce from Manchester United legend Ruud van Nistelrooy

following a 3-0 defeat to fellow strugglers Wolverhampton Wanderers on Sunday, they are left nervously looking over their shoulders heading into the new year.

"You have to fear for Leicester in this one, I watched them concede four against Newcastle, the other day they conceded three against Wolves and they look all over the place defensively,"

"You have to worry for them going to Anfield with the form they’re in.

"Liverpool may smell blood here and they may get a few." After Leicester, Liverpool return to action Sunday evening away at West Ham before kicking off 2025 with a bang when they welcome Ruben Amorim's United to Anfield.
