Leicester have won their last two Premier League home meetings against Liverpool, with Jamie Vardy scoring twice in bothTEAM NEWS
Striker Jamie Vardy should be fit for Leicester despite missing the midweek win over Liverpool with a groin strain.
Matty James has been ruled out for up to six weeks with an Achilles strain but Christian Fuchs and Leonardo Ulloa are available.
Dejan Lovren is a major doubt for Liverpool, having not trained because of the back problem that has caused him to miss the last two games.
Joel Matip and Emre Can both sustained knocks last week and will be assessed.
MOTD COMMENTATOR'S NOTES
Martin Fisher: "Leicester's win in Tuesday's dress rehearsal in the Carabao Cup was the latest chapter in Liverpool's version of Groundhog Day.
"While Bill Murray repeated the same day in the 1993 film, game after game Jurgen Klopp is seeing his team miss a host of chances while his defence cracks under the slightest bit of pressure.
"Prospects of a clean sheet look slim against a Leicester side looking for a fourth successive home win over their opponents - slimmer still if Jamie Vardy is fit.
"He has scored five goals in his last three games against them and will relish the chance to terrorise a vulnerable back four.
"Liverpool might need to score two or three to get something, so for his sake I hope the 'bespectacled one' has finally found his strikers' shooting boots."

WHAT THE MANAGERS SAY
Leicester manager Craig Shakespeare: "In the second half [in the win over Liverpool on Tuesday], the response was good and gives us a lot of confidence for Saturday."
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp: "It sounds like we have no points and are completely the worst team in the league.
"Yes we have problems, that is why we 'only' have eight points and not 15. We can make it more serious than it is or we can take it like it is.
"I know already about all these problems - or 'not problems' - and I've made my decision already how to work with it, but if I talk a lot about it I only create headlines and it doesn't help us."
LAWRO'S PREDICTION
What will help Liverpool a lot on Saturday is if Leicester striker Jamie Vardy misses the game with his groin injury. If he is absent or not 100% fit, then their defence will have a much easier time of things.
Prediction: 1-2
