Loser92: I expect Liverpool to come flying out of the traps against Leicester this afternoon. And an early goal will allow them to control the game thereafter. 3-0.

Andy Robertson leaves Ricardo Pereira chasing shadows on the left before lifting in a cross which flies inches over Joel Matip's head.

Trent Alexander-Arnold whips another ball in from the far side and a deflected shot from Mo Salah earns Liverpool a corner.

Good start from the league leaders.

The appearance of Brendan Rodgers in the Leicester City technical area was greeted by warm applause from plenty of Liverpool fans and the manager, who almost brought the Premier League title to Anfield in 2014, reciprocated it.

Ben Chilwell's throw-in is picked off by Fabinho. Trent Alexander-Arnold hooks it long first time but Mo Salah is offside.

Leicester haven't got themselves into the game yet.

Caglar Soyuncu has been busy in the opening four minutes! Not too much to trouble him so far but Mo Salah turns away from him and gets a shot off from a tight angle on the right.

Comfortable for Kasper Schmeichel.

Fabinho's hooked clearance is headed away by Caglar Soyuncu under pressure from Mo Salah.

Liverpool quickly win the ball back and Salah tries to feed it through to Sadio Mane in the middle. Intercepted by Wilfred Ndidi.

Warm words for Brendan Rodgers in today’s programme from Jurgen Klopp and Jordan Henderson, as the former Liverpool boss returns to Anfield for the first time since being dismissed four years and a day ago. Klopp thanks Rodgers for the "fantastic legacy" he left, while Henderson praises the "massive part" the now Leicester manager played in his development as a player here.

Eye-catching selection on the Liverpool bench, where 16-year-old Harvey Elliott is included. The teenager signed from Fulham was outstanding in the Carabao Cup win over MK Dons.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp was suitably impressed and clearly saw enough to name him among the substitutes today.

Off we go at Anfield! Big game.

Bob Moss: Nice of Liverpool to give a couple of goals to Leicester playing Lovren, should be a good game.

Brian Sands: Am expecting Leicester to be our toughest opponents so far this season. It was they who stopped us winning the title last season.

Liverpool

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp on Brendan Rodgers: "I hope the fans will be OK with him.

"It is brilliant living there [in Rodgers' house]. I am not sure he has to work. He is doing really well. I am not surprised about that.

"An incredible job at Celtic, rebuilding at Leicester. Good signings and brilliant team."

Liverpool are unbeaten in eight Premier League home matches against Leicester since a 2-0 defeat in May 2000.

The Reds' sequence of 16 consecutive league victories is the second longest in English top-flight history, bettered only by Manchester City's 18 wins between August and December 2017.

Leicester have won 31 Premier League points since Brendan Rodgers was appointed - only Liverpool (49) and Manchester City (46) have better records in that period.

Out come the teams! A warm atmosphere early-on.

When Brendan Rodgers walked through the door at Liverpool, he arrived at a club that hadn't qualified for the Champions League for five years; he returns to Anfield for the first time to face the European champions after another crazy night under the lights this week.

It will evoke memories of the 2013-14 season when he took the Reds to within a whisker of the Premier League title, and then saw Jurgen Klopp go even closer last season. Can he now stop the leaders from continuing their perfect start to the season?

It will certainly be a barometer of where his exciting Leicester team are at and equally a stern challenge for Liverpool in their quest for a 17th league win in a row.

Once thing is assured - a warm Anfield welcome for Rodgers.

Leicester City

Leicester manager Brendan Rodgers on Liverpool: "I am the type of person who is happy for the club and especially happy for players like Jordan [Henderson] and James Milner - players I worked with and had a strong relationship with.

"I was so happy for Jordan when he lifted the Champions League trophy because I know how much he has developed and worked for it.

"I was never going to be bitter. That's why I let Jurgen [Klopp] move into my house! I had a good relationship with Ray Haughan - the player liaison officer - and he told me Jurgen was struggling to find somewhere to live so I said, 'Listen, I am moving to London for a bit and will not be there now, so Jurgen could move in'."

I appreciate that Leicester are dangerous when they go forward, but I don't think they are good enough at the back to get themselves a result at Anfield.

It feels to me like Leicester will have to be at the very top of their game and take every chance that comes their way if they are going to get something out of this one.

Prediction: 2-1
