There is little wrong with Liverpool's forward selection, but with the imminent arrival of Southampton defender Virgil van Dijk, there will be renewed optimism on Merseyside.

James Pearce of the Liverpool Echo reported the Dutchman will watch his new team-mates feature against Leicester ahead of his £75 million transfer to Anfield. The centre-back will train with the Reds for the first time after the clash against Burnley on Jan. 1.

Liverpool have been desperate to add quality at the back for two years, but they will have to manage with their current options on Saturday.

The Frenchman lost his job at Southampton last season, but his pedigree is undeniable after spells at Monaco and Lyon.

The Foxes recently pegged back Manchester United in a stunning 2-2 draw at home, and they will now attempt to reinforce their quality on the road.

Both teams like to counter-attack, but Liverpool have a world-class forward line that is firing on all cylinders.

If Vardy's movement can be tracked and controlled, Klopp's men will outscore their opponents to secure the points.

Liverpool are only second to Manchester City for the most goals scored in the Premier League this season, and the Foxes do not have the depth at the back to stop Roberto Firmino and Mohamed Salah as they dovetail with Philippe Coutinho.
