Havana, December 28 (RHC)-- Liverpool will try to get back to winning ways in the English Football League today when they face Leicester City for Matchday 20.
The Reds will return to action after not playing against Leeds United over the weekend due to cases of coronavirus in the team coached by Argentine coach Marcelo Bielsa.
In their previous outing, German coach Jurgen Klopp's men earned a point with a 2-2 draw against Tottenham and in their last matches they have won three and drawn one.
Leicester City does not want to suffer another setback after losing 3-6 against Manchester City in their most recent match.
Liverpool will count on Brazilian Fabinho Tavares, Dutchman Virgil van Dijk, Brazilian-born Spaniard Thiago Alcantara and Curtis Jones after they overcame the coronavirus.
In fact, the German tactician will take advantage of the return of Van Dijk and Alcántara to set up an attack with the trident of Egypt's Mohamed Salah, Brazil's Roberto Firmino and Senegal's Sadio Mané.
The Foxes will be without Ryan Bertrand, Portugal's Ricardo Pereira, Zambia's Patson Daka, Turkey's Caglar Soyuncu, Harvey Barnes, Jonny Evans, Danny Ward, James Justin and France's Wesley Fofana.
In addition, they arrive with less than 72 hours' rest after losing Monday's defeat to the Citizens.
The last five times the two clubs have met in the tournament, the home side have won once and the visitors have won three times.
Leicester City is in 10th place with 22 points and six wins, while Liverpool is in fourth place (41 points and 12 wins).
