There is room for Maddison in that England team. I love his temperament and character. He is loving every moment. He is in a Leicester team that is in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup, they are nine games away from winning the Europa League, 15 left in the Premier League. Could they finish top four or even win the title? Great news for Gareth Southgate as he has so much to choose from now.

Almost time to get the ball rolling. And it will too, if the amount of water Leicester have pumped on to the pitch is anything to go by.

I love how James Maddison talks about pressure. So often people talk about it in a negative way but actually, when you are in an elite environment, pressure is privilege.

You started playing football to get into that position and to show people what you have got. That is what he is saying: 'keep giving me that pressure because it makes me better.'

He is saying he needs to improve his numbers and output instead of being told. You can see he is getting better and better and playing with a cheeky smile on his face.

Managers who have previously managed Liverpool have lost their last 12 Premier League matches against the Reds by an aggregate score of 39-8.

The last former Reds boss to win against them in the Premier League was Roy Hodgson in April 2012 with West Brom.

Leicester are doing an unbelievable job. Their recruitment has been fantastic. It's a horrible injury for James Justin. One thing I'd say is I had a cruciate ligament injury a long time ago and recovered well.

Yes, he will be really disappointed and feeling down in the dumps but he'll get back. In six to eight months he'll be as good as new.

Ozan Kabak will be the seventh player to play as a centre-back for Liverpool in this season's Premier League, after Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez, Fabinho, Jordan Henderson, Nathaniel Phillips and Rhys Williams.

The sun is beating down on The King Power Stadium but don't be fooled - the temperature is well below zero.

The pitch has just received a soaking and Leicester's keepers were making very sure they kept well away from those jets.

Leicester City may be regarded as favourites as they stand a place above off-colour Liverpool in third but Jurgen Klopp's side have been outstanding in their last two away games at Spurs and West Ham United.

All eyes will be on Liverpool debutant Ozan Kabak - how will he cope with the pace of fit-again Jamie Vardy?

Steven Patrick McNamara: Grealish is levels above them all, Foden above Maddison and all 3 are miles better than Mount in my opinion. Mount is a hype job (see 11:43 entry)

Leicester City

For Leicester, anyway.

• Leicester have lost their last three home Premier League games against Liverpool, their worst ever losing run in the league against the Reds.
• Liverpool have won 12 of their last 17 Premier League matches against Leicester (D3 L2), winning six of their last seven against the Foxes.
• Leicester haven’t lost four consecutive home top-flight matches against an opponent since a run of five defeats between 1999 and 2003 against Manchester United.

Alisson is out to warm up in the Leicester sunshine. He had a stinker last time out and Jamie Vardy and Harvey Barnes won't give him an easy lunchtime, that's for sure.

Maddison, Grealish, Foden, Sterling, Rashford, Kane, Sancho...

Mount, of course.

Leicester playmaker James Maddison says he is "hungry" for an England recall before this summer's rescheduled Euro 2020.

Maddison says he knows he's good enough, but with plenty of competition in that position, is Maddison's claim strong enough?

Sam Harris: Kabak starting for Liverpool is fresh. Excited to see him. Although Hendo still at CB is infuriating

Liverpool

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp to BT Sport: "It was a good training week, an important one. Ben Davies picked up a knock as well, it's unbelievable but Ozan Kabak looked good. This is the proper test against Vardy and Barnes.

"He is in a new team, but it is not about a step up from the Bundesliga as you face top, top strikers there.

"Leicester are outstanding, Brendan is doing a brilliant job. They can change systems, they are really strong and are extremely good at the counter attack."

Turkish centre-back Ozan Kabak makes his debut for Liverpool, coming in for the injured Fabinho. The 20-year-old was brought in on loan from Schalke during the January transfer window.

The other change to the line-up that started in the 4-1 defeat by Manchester City sees James Milner come in for Thiago.

Liverpool XI: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Kabak, Henderson, Robertson, Milner, Wijnaldum, Jones, Salah, Roberto Firmino, Mane

Subs: Shaqiri, Williams, Phillips, Adrián, Thiago, Tsimikas, Clarkson, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Williams

Jürgen Klopp will take charge of his 300th game in all competitions for Liverpool today, becoming the ninth manager in the club's history to reach this milestone.

Leicester City

Leicester manager Brendan Rodgers to BT Sport: "A six-pointer? No, there's still a long way to go but it's a fantastic game, one we are looking forward to against the champions. It's a big blow for us with James Justin being out because he has been amazing.

"We have the flexibility to play a few systems, that's been pleasing with the versatility of the team. The team is fresh, we rested plenty in midweek."
