As Leicester City prepare to host Liverpool at the King Power Stadium this Sunday, all eyes will be on what promises to be a high-stakes Premier League encounter. The match carries immense significance for both clubs—Leicester are staring relegation in the face, while Liverpool are on the brink of clinching their second Premier League title.

With drama guaranteed, here are the key players to watch in this crucial fixture.

Leicester City

Jamie Vardy

The veteran striker continues to carry Leicester’s hopes on his shoulders. With a wealth of experience and a knack for scoring in big games, Jamie Vardy remains Leicester’s most dangerous weapon. His movement, pressing, and finishing will be vital if Leicester are to snatch a much-needed win and avoid the drop.

Wilfred Ndidi

Known for his ball-winning ability and tireless work rate, Wilfred Ndidi will have a huge role to play in breaking up Liverpool’s fluid midfield. If Ndidi can win the midfield battle, Leicester may stand a chance of turning the tide.

Mads Hermansen

The Leicester goalkeeper is likely to have a busy afternoon against Liverpool’s relentless attack. Hermansen must produce a top-tier performance, with crucial saves and command of his area, to keep the Foxes in the game.

Liverpool

Mohamed Salah

With his blistering pace and clinical finishing, Mohamed Salah is a nightmare for defenders. The Egyptian winger has a knack for stepping up in crucial matches, and with the title in sight, he’ll be more dangerous than ever.

Dominik Szoboszlai

The Hungarian midfielder has added flair and energy to Liverpool’s attack this season. Szoboszlai‘s creativity and eye for goal could unlock a fragile Leicester defense and dictate the tempo from midfield.

Virgil van Dijk

If Leicester want to trouble Liverpool, they’ll have to get past Virgil van Dijk, one of the Premier League’s most consistent defenders. His leadership and aerial dominance make him a key figure at the back.
