A critical match at both ends of the Premier League table sees Leicester City host Liverpool at the King Power Stadium on Monday.
The Foxes are in the thick of the relegation battle, sitting 19th on 30 points but with the opportunity to pull out of the bottom three with a famous victory in front of the home fans. Even a point could prove valuable, taking them above Leeds United into 18th on goal difference and within striking distance.
A loss, however, would put Leicester in a dire situation with just two matches remaining.
Liverpool, meanwhile, are fifth in the table, and a win here would put them just one point back from the Champions League places, albeit having played an extra match. Even if the Reds may not have enough time to make up the necessary ground for a top-four spot, a win would still cement them as at least Europa League participants next season.

Leicester City have shown fight at times during this relegation battle, but they've not shown much quality. Draws with fellow drop candidates Everton and Leeds United provided drama at times, but they really needed three points in at least one of those games and failed to produce.
The Foxes have slumped to defeat against even moderately skilled opponents over the past three months, and they were thrashed by a Fulham side with nothing to play for last time out. Liverpool, meanwhile, are now healthy and showing signs of real quality, and should punish Leicester City for their mistakes in this match.

Leicester City vs Liverpool: Best bet
- Pick: Over 3.5 goals
- Odds: +115 (BetMGM)
This is normally a pretty high bar to clear, but with these two teams and the way they've defended at times this season, there's no reason to think it can't be eclipsed.
Leicester's defending against Fulham last time out left much to be desired and they've conceded either more than two goals or had an xG against of two or more in each of their last six league matches.
The Reds have defended better in their last two games, but prior to keeping clean sheets against Fulham and Brentford, they'd not done so for five straight league contests.
Leicester City vs Liverpool prop bet
- Pick: 1H result — Liverpool & over 1.5 combined goals
- Odds: +270 (BetMGM)
- Pick: 2H result — Liverpool & over 1.5 combined goals
- Odds: +180 (BetMGM)
As we expect plenty of goals in this match, these two selections are a great pair, as only one of them hitting is required to come away with a profit, and both coming through for a home run result is also entirely feasible.
Liverpool will be expected to win at least one of the halves, and them scoring twice in a half is certainly manageable against this chaotic Leicester City side.
