Liverpool

At the end of the last season, the team returned to third place in the English Championship and won the League Cup. But everyone already knew in advance that this was the last chord of an excellent piece of history that Klopp gave to the Reds. However, Arne Slot started so well at Tumanny Albion that even parting with Jurgen did not become a tragedy – on the contrary, the Merseysiders even added and for a long time showed statistics close to one hundred percent. In the Champions League, they won the 6th match, although there Salah scored the only goal of the crisis-hit Girona from a penalty that was not the most indisputable. Before that, in the EPL, the leader did not win against Newcastle, after that – ended 3:3 with Fulham. Southampton got caught in the League Cup, and they also passed it, maybe not as easily as expected. But in the last round with Tottenham, they produced a spectacular 6:3.

Leicester

The club is remembered for the sensational championship presented by Raniera. Yes, even under Rodgers, the Balds fought for ambitious goals, took cup trophies – and suddenly relegated to the Championship in 2023. With Mareska, it was possible to prove that this was a coincidence, the team won that division ahead of schedule last season. But then there were extremely mediocre performances in the Premier League, already under Cooper as a coach, who was replaced by Enzo in the summer – he also lured Chelsea to him. To revive the deflated team, a coaching appointment was called, with a bet on van Nistelrooy. Tot and Pravda beat West Ham in December, and against Brighton, his new wards fought back from 0:2 to a draw, starting from the 86th minute. But then they were 0:4 in Newcastle with the opponent of the same name. And in the last round, the crushing defeat was repeated with Wolverhampton.

Statistics of personal meetings

The Merseysiders have won official face-to-face matches four times in a row.

Forecast
