Leicester vs Liverpool info as Philippe Coutinho makes his first league start for the Reds this season
JURGEN KLOPP will be looking for revenge after seeing his side crash out of the Carabao Cup at Leicester on Tuesday night.
Shinji Okazaki and Islam Slimani's strikes knocked the Reds out of the competition, meaning Liverpool have lost the last three at the King Power Stadium.
Leicester haven't started all that well in the league, limping to a 1-1 draw with Huddersfield last time out and accumulating just four points from five games.
It's been a similarly frustrating start for the Reds, who were held at home to Burnley last week and shipped five away at Manchester City.
