Wijnaldum drives Liverpool forward before trying to thread it through to Mane on the right. Soyuncu reads the situation and races across to clear his lines.
11'
Barnes pounces on a loose ball, finding Vardy. He has an incredible record against Liverpool and alas, he tries to go it alone. Van Dijk stands tall to clear.
10'
It has been a bright start for Liverpool, but I wonder how they will be affected by their defensive lapses in midweek.

Robertson advances brilliantly on the left, skipping past Pereira before Soyuncu heads his delivery away. Alexander-Arnold then forces Liverpool's first corner with a cross from the opposite flank.
5'
Soyuncu has been busy in the opening exchanges of the match. The replacement for Harry Maguire, he has looked a class act so far this season, especially on the ball.

Shot! The first sight of goal for Salah, who turns Soyuncu on the right of the penalty area but doesn't get enough power or curl in his shot to trouble Schmeichel.
2'
Including last season, Liverpool are aiming for a 17th straight league victory. The Foxes will be no pushovers, however, and they will be hoping to underline their potential of securing a top six position come May.

One change from Brendan Rodgers, who faces his former club. James Madduson passes a fitness rest and takes the place of Ayoze Perez who drops to the bench.

Jurgen Klopp makes TWO changes from the side that edged past Red Bull Salzburg. Dejan Lovren is handed his first start of the season as Liverpool's centre-back, taking the place of Joe Gomez. In the other change, James Milner comes in for Jordan Henderson.
