After a three-week hiatus, Liverpool are scheduled to return to action in the Premier League with Anfield set to host Leicester City on Thursday evening.
The Foxes are currently manage by ex- Reds boss Brendan Rodgers, and his team appear to be suffering from a specific weakness that Jurgen Klopp has the tools to exploit.
Simply put, Leicester can't seem to cope when defending set-pieces at the moment.
Over the course of the weekend, Rodgers' men were knocked out of the FA Cup after losing by four goals to one against Nottingham Forest, with one of those goals originating from a corner kick.
Speaking around the match, Wes Morgan - who used to play as a centre-back for Leicester - said: "When you concede a lot of goals throughout the season from set-pieces like Leicester have, you can over-analyse what you are doing."

Jamie Carragher also had an opinion on the game, having tweeted: "Another set piece goal conceded. Nothing to do with zonal or man marking, it’s about players not taking responsibility."
Once delving into the numbers of the current Premier League campaign, their fragility becomes clear.
Only Crystal Palace - who have played two more matches than Leicester - have allowed more shots on their goal from set-pieces this season, and only Manchester United have allowed more Expected Goals from those shots.
In total, Rodgers' outfit have shipped 11 goals from set-pieces in the Premier League - equating to one roughly every two games - which is the second-most in the division behind Palace's figure of 12.
Interestingly, Liverpool faced Palace recently and Virgil van Dijk opened the scoring with an impressive header from a corner delivered by Andy Robertson. Klopp seemed to have worked on a specific plan at the time.
The Reds punished Palace, and they could be set to do the same against Leicester.
Liverpool's total of 122 shots from set-pieces is the most in England's top-flight. Those efforts have resulted in 12 goals being scored, which is at least two more than any other team.
Considering the aerial strength of players such as Van Dijk, Joel Matip, Ibrahima Konate and even Diogo Jota - alongside the deliveries of Robertson and Trent Alexander-Arnold - Liverpool seem primed to shine a light on Leicester's primary defect this week.
Ultimately, Rodgers shouldn't be looking forward to his upcoming return to his former home.
