Liverpool will look to take a significant step toward winning their 20th league title when they travel to the King Power Stadium on Sunday to face Leicester City.

The Reds are just two victories away from being crowned the Premier League champions, regardless of what Arsenal go on to achieve.

Arne Slot will be looking to get half of that task completed at the weekend, giving his team the chance to be confirmed as champions on Sunday (April 27) against Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield.

Liverpool have all the expectations on their shoulders

Liverpool head into this game as the heavy favourites to win, given their superior position in the Premier League and the fact that they are pushing to win the title.

Opta have predicted the outcome of the game through its supercomputer, with Liverpool given an overwhelming 73.2 per cent chance of winning, while a draw stands at 15.9 per cent.

The Foxes will be relegated from the Premier League if they lose this weekend, and that will give them plenty to play for in front of their own fans.

However, the supercomputer has only predicted Leicester to have a 10.9 per cent chance of pulling off a significant shock result to save their top-flight status.

Liverpool will want to celebrate recent good news

Liverpool have had plenty to celebrate recently, with Mohamed Salah committing his future to the club with a two-year contract.

Recently, it was confirmed that Virgil van Dijk has also signed a new deal with the Merseyside giants, and the club captain will be aiming to celebrate that situation in style this weekend.

Van Dijk will be expected to start the game against Leicester, which will likely see him receive a huge response from the travelling supporters.

The Netherlands international will be wanting to kickstart the next stage of his Liverpool career with a win, especially one that could take them one step further in their push for the title.
