Is Liverpool vs Leicester on TV? Channel, live stream, kick-off, early team news

Liverpool take on Leicester City tonight looking to keep pace in their ongoing Premier League title charge.

Manchester City opened up a 12 point gap over Klopp's men with a 2-0 win over Brentford last night. Liverpool do, however, have two must-win games in hand that could reduce the deficit to six.

The Reds have had mixed joy against Brendan Rodgers' side in the past, highlighted by the contrasting results shared within a week of each other in December.

Liverpool came back from first 2-0 and then 3-1 down to see off The Foxes in the quarter-final of the Carabao Cup on penalties. An understrength Leicester hit back six days later, however, winning 1-0 at the King Power in the league.

What is the early Liverpool vs Leicester City team news?

Jurgen Klopp has a fully-fit squad to choose from for the first time this season, although the Reds boss was apprehensive about celebrating the fact in his pre-match press conference.

Regardless, he will be without Sadio Mane who has been in Senegal celebrating his country's victory in Sunday's African Cup of Nations final. Mane is expected to return to the UK tonight.

No Mane leaves the possibility of a first start for January signing Luis Diaz. The Colombian is said to have made a strong first impression at the club. He came off the bench to assist Takumi Minamino's goal in the 3-1 FA victory over Cardiff City.

Brendan Rodgers doesn't have quite as much luck on the injury front. Leicester remain without talisman Jamie Vardy, who has an impressive goalscoring record against the Reds.

Other absentees include Jonny Evans, Timothy Castagne, Ryan Bertrand, and Wesley Fofana.
