We say: Liverpool 2-1 Leicester City

 The level of uncertainty surrounding this match makes it nigh-on impossible to call, and this tie perhaps more than any other will bring the pitfalls of forcing the fixture schedule to continue into sharp focus. Both sides will likely be fielding patched-up sides amid varying stages of coronavirus outbreaks, and the result could depend on just how badly Leicester are still affected by their own. If it does come down to squad depth then Liverpool should just about have the edge, although this is a fixture packed with variables which could swing it either way. Read more.
