The Reds are nine points behind fourth place but have two games in hand, so could cut the gap to Brendan Rodgers’ side to three points ahead of the final two fixtures of the season. Liverpool have a more favourable run-in with matches against Burnley and Crystal Palace to close out their season, while Leicester face Chelsea and Tottenham.
Leicester benefitted from United making 10 changes to their starting line-up on Tuesday, as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side are in a run of four games in eight days. United are expected to return to full strength for the match tonight, which was postponed earlier this month due to fan protests outside Old Trafford.
