This Saturday's evening fixture sees a repeat of Tuesday's Carabao Cup third round tie which Leicester won 2-0. Liverpool will be seeking revenge and with the game live on BT Sport from the King Power at 5:30, it promises to serve up a humdinger of a contest.

Our man Danny Archer provides his analysis for the big game...

Leicester - Star striker Jamie Vardy missed Tuesday's tie but should return for this Premier League encounter. Matty James remains out with an Achilles injury but Christian Fuchs and Leonardo Ulloa could also play a part. It's been an interesting start to the season for the 2015/16 Premier League Champions who were desperately poor at Huddersfield on Saturday. Craig Shakespeare's men did very well to come away with a point against the Terriers thanks to a second half penalty from top scorer Vardy.

With changes made to the squad such as Danny Drinkwater leaving the club, Leicester have been slow to get going this year. They played well for stages during their 2-0 loss to Manchester United in Gameweek 3 and against Chelsea in a 2-1 loss at the King Power in Gameweek 4 of the Premier League season. However, one solitary 2-0 win against Brighton in August leaves the Foxes with 4 points from 5 games in the League. A facile 4-1 win against Sheffield United in the second round of the Carabao Cup was followed by their comfortable victory over the Red on Tuesday to secure their berth in the fourth round. They caused Jurgen Klopp's side plenty of problems with their vibrancy in attack and the return of Vardy who caused Liverpool all sorts of problems when the sides met last term at the King Power will be on the minds of Liverpool fans. Leicester's worrying run of form before Tuesday is a slight concern as they have won just once in eight league matches, with defeat in Saturday's game resulting in the Foxes equalling their lowest points tally after six Premier League matches. Craig Shakespeare's side have conceded 18 goals in that time and they will have to be at their best to stop Liverpool's strike force.

Liverpool - It's been an interesting start to the season for the Reds who played out a thrilling 3-3 draw with Watford on the opening day of the Premier League season before beating Crystal Palace (1-0) and then Arsenal (4-0) at Anfield in successive games. However, Saido Mane's sending off at the Etihad Stadium against Manchester City was the death knell of their chances in that game which they went on to lose 5-0. A disappointing 1-1 draw with Burnley in front of the Kop on Saturday has drawn sharp criticism from Liverpool fans and Klopp will be hoping his side can reinvigorate themselves for what should be a cracking encounter tonight.

£35 million signing Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain made his first start for the Reds on Tuesday but was heavily criticised on social media for his display. Comparably, another worrying issue for Liverpool however is their continued ability to leak goals and plenty of them. Whilst they look a real menace going forward, Klopp's side always look likely to concede and they have shipped 16 goals in 8 competitive matches so far this year.

The Red half of Merseyside have not won in four matches in all competitions and Klopp will be keen to halt that worrying dip in form. Dejan Lovren, Joel Matip and Emre Can are also doubts for the game.

Verdict - There were two goals between the sides on Tuesday evening and I would be disappointed if there weren't more in tomorrow's game. Whether Leicester are able to epeat Tuesday's cup heroics is debatable against full strength Liverpool side in my opinion but Both Teams To Score and Over 2.5 goals is of interest. I also fancy Liverpool to land the spoils on this occasion.
