    James Maddison has made a very bright start to this game, a couple of nice runs and touches of the ball.

    Leicester on top, can they capitalise?

    Fair play to Jonny Evans, he's flying into the tackles early doors. Leicester have missed him really.

    Rachel T: Tell you what, kudos to the ground staff - that pitch looks immaculate!

    Peter: I think Mr Vardy is a spent force. Yes, Leicester are going down, but they need a new striker if they want to bounce back.

    Scott Clark: Weird: Liverpool fans wanting to lose in order to spite Everton, rather than trying to beat Man U to the Champions League.

    I'm torn between us trying to get top four at the last minute or putting Everton back into the relegation zone.

    Conor K

    It's not often you hear us Evertonians say this but (gulp): "Come on Liverpool!"

    Scott:

    My heart is with Leicester City, but I have a feeling Liverpool will hammer them tonight.

    Liverpool fan here I hope we lose tonight against Leicester as much as I want to win and get into the top four but seeing Everton go into the bottom three after Leicester beat us and hopefully get relegated would be a dream come true.

    Ron, Ellesmere Port

    Liverpool need to approach this game like Man City did against Everton - treat them with respect as if they are just like Real Madrid. Leicester will have a proper go and Liverpool will need to be wary. It's a nervy one for the Reds tonight.

    Tim, Bristol.

    Leicester v Liverpool (20:00 BST)

    Jurgen Klopp says "miracles" are out of his side's hands this time as Liverpool prepare to visit Leicester on Monday in a huge game at both ends of the table.

    Fifth-placed Liverpool are four points behind Newcastle and Manchester United with three games left in the race to qualify for the Champions League.

    Leicester are two points adrift from Premier League safety at the bottom.

    "I knew weeks ago it was completely out of sight," Klopp said of his side's top-four chances.

    "I couldn't see it at all, but that did not mean we would not try to get closer. That's the only thing we did, we got closer."

    Liverpool and the Champions League invoke special memories for Klopp, with his side having overturned a 3-0 first-leg deficit to beat Barcelona in the semi-finals on their way to winning the tournament in 2019.

    "Everyone involved will never forget it in our entire lives," he said.

    In 2021, Klopp's side also won eight games and drew two in the final 10 matches, including a 90th-minute winner by goalkeeper Alisson, to finish in the top four.

    "That means it is part of us and, you are right, we were around when miracles happened, that is true, but it was then still in our hands," said Klopp.

    "Now we have to win but that does not mean anything changes because the other teams could win all their games."

    Leicester v Liverpool (20:00 BST)

    Gracenote give Leicester a 74% chance of relegation.

    Win today and they have a 67% chance of survival. Lose and that's 82%.

    The Foxes finished eighth last season and reached the Europa Conference League semi-finals but they made an awful start to this campaign, picking up only one point in their first seven matches.

    Manager Brendan Rodgers has been replaced by Dean Smith until the end of the season but Monday's 5-3 thrashing at Fulham leaves them in the relegation places.

    Leicester have an array of attacking talent but their problem has been conceding goals, having failed to keep a clean sheet in their past 19 matches.

    Their final two games are against Newcastle and West Ham.

    I'm sure Leicester fans are mightily reassured that they're starting a 35-year-old in defence who hasn't kicked a ball competitively since October. When do the EFL fixtures come out again?

    Daniel

    Nailed on Leicester win because a) Liverpool's defence is unreliable b) Liverpool's recent record at the King Power and c) Leicester will want it more.

    Newcastle's chance will decline from 78% to 71% and Manchester United's will go down from 88% to 83% with a Liverpool win.
