Luis Diaz enjoyed one of his most productive outings of the campaign on Sunday when his 7 shots and 5 attempts on target led to 2 goals against Tottenham in North London. Diaz has been averaging 1.40 shots on target per 90 minutes for Liverpool in the Premier League overall this season and his self-belief should be surging following his impact against Spurs. Back the Colombian to test Leicester keeper Danny Ward at least once on Boxing Day.

Leicester are likely to feel the squeeze from the first whistle when they visit a rampant Liverpool at Anfield and several of their more defence-minded players should be top foul-market candidates on Merseyside. Anchorman Boubakary Soumaré falls into that category and having committed 3 fouls in 1 sitting against Wolves on Sunday, the 25-year-old is backed to give away at least 1 free kick again when he faces Liverpool.

Mohamed Salah has been tearing teams to shreds for Liverpool this season and the iconic Egyptian had a mammoth 7 shots against Tottenham on Sunday with 3 of those efforts finding the mark and 2 of them hitting the net. Salah, who has been averaging a healthy 3.47 shots and 1.67 shots on target per 90 minutes this season, should be able to put his wicked left foot to good use again against Leicester, making him top value at 1.62 to beat a target of 2 shots on target.

Liverpool will expect to dominate both possession and territory against Leicester on Boxing Day and if they manage to push the Foxes back for long periods, a high Reds corner count should follow for the hosts. City conceded 9 corners when they last played an away fixture against a Premier League title hopeful (Chelsea, November), and a target of over 5.5 corners should be manageable for table-topping Liverpool here. Look for the Reds to beat the corner line at 1.22 here.

Mohamed Salah has been close to unstoppable for Liverpool this season and the Egyptian winger scored his 14th and 15th goals of the Premier League campaign with a well-taken brace against Tottenham on Sunday. Salah’s strike rate (15 in 16) in England’s top tier has been phenomenal this term and it would be something of a surprise if he didn’t strengthen his bid for Golden Boot glory with another goal against Leicester.

Diogo Jota was introduced as a second-half substitute against Tottenham on Sunday and with squad rotation a must at this fixture-packed time of year, the Portuguese forward could get the nod to start against Leicester. Injuries have restricted Jota’s involvement this term, though he has still been averaging a solid 2.90 shots and 0.68 shots on target per 90 minutes in the Premier League and he should have openings to land at least 1 accurate attempt against a porous Leicester at Anfield.

Jordan Ayew is a foul first, ask questions later kind of performer when his team are out of possession and the veteran Ghanaian has been averaging 1.95 fouls per 90 minutes this season for Leicester, which is a high figure for a player in his position. A frustrated Ayew was collared for 3 fouls in City’s loss to Wolves on Sunday and he could tackle with just as much petulance at Anfield, where he is likely to see very little of the ball. Back the cynical 33-year-old to give away at least 2 free kicks on Merseyside.

Towering Danish defender Jannik Vestergaard is as dominant aerially as you’d expect a centre-half of his stature to be, however, the 32-year-old tends to struggle when the ball is on the deck. Vestergaard was booked for poor tackles in each of his last 2 starts for Leicester and he should find the going just as tough against a rapid and nimble Liverpool frontline at Anfield. Vestergaard looks like a solid pick to be booked for the 4th time in 9 Premier League starts here.
