    Leicester 0-4 Liverpool

    How on earth can you beat the side second in the league 4-0? Seriously. It is both incredibly impressive and incredibly frightening for their rivals just how comfortable this has been for Liverpool.

    They are now seeing out the final few minutes of this game like it is a friendly.

    Richard Cumiskey: This is a reality check for Leicester. They have been having an exceptional season and if anything I think they have been overachieving.

    I thought this was meant to be a big test for Liverpool.well if it was I think they've well and truly passed!

    Leicester 0-4 Liverpool

    Leicester had conceded just five goals in nine homes games this season before today.

    Then Liverpool rolled into town and have rattled in four in 80 minutes. Jurgen Klopp's side are certainly playing like title winners.

    Sho: I'm seriously baffled by Rodgers' tactics today. Cannot believe he didn't change it at half time either.

    This Liverpool team is flawless. The best team ever to play in the premier league. I even include my beloved Invincibles in that much as it pains me to say it

    Trent Alexander-Arnold

    Goals flying in now!

    A devastating spell from Liverpool as they wrap this result up and it is a deserved goal for Trent Alexander-Arnold as the full-back joins a swift counter by the Reds before driving a powerful low effort beyond Kasper Schmeichel's reach.

    Three goals in just over six minutes and you feel it could get even worse for Leicester.

    Done.

    And.

    Dusted!

    Liverpool now get the lead their dominance has deserved as Trent Alexander-Arnold delivers another fast and precise ball low across the area and Roberto Firmino stops it dead before firing into the roof of the net.

    James Milner pen

    Down the middle and Liverpool's lead is doubled!

    Just as Leicester looked to be building up a head of steam, Liverpool instead move out of sight as James Milner calmly converts the spot kick.

    Liverpool are going 13 points clear...

    This is better from Leicester now as Virgil van Dijk gets across to thump the ball out of play before Jamie Vardy can pounce.

    Leicester 0-1 Liverpool

    Better from Leicester as some sumptuous footwork by Ricardo Pereira leaves Andy Robertson stranded. The fullback gets into the box but his pass is blocked by Virgil van Dijk.

    Dennis Praet then fires over from a loose ball outside the area. That's woken the home fans up though as they roar with approval.

    Gee Em: I think the thing that makes LFC so impressive, other than the results, is their individual flexibility. Each player can play multiple positions on the pitch. Clear advantage.

    Mohammed: Vardy seems so isolated up front, Leicester midfield need to push up more. They are just punting it up forward, and it's returning that much quicker.

    James Maddison tries to bend the ball in at the far post but his effort sails harmlessly wide.

    Leicester 0-1 Liverpool

    Leicester break quickly from a Liverpool corner and Jamie Vardy finally has the chance to stretch his legs. He gets the better of Joe Gomez but is then brought down by the Liverpool defender and the hosts have a free kick on the left side of the box.

    Gomez is booked and Leicester have the chance to do something here...

    Brendan Rodgers recognises it is not happening for his side at the moment and decides to make a change. Marc Albrighton is on for Harvey Barnes.
