Sturridge ‘good to go’ for Liverpool
If Liverpool can muster some momentum, string together some back to back victories, then a Champions League berth is not beyond them.

“We showed we are a good team”.
Klopp knew Liverpool had to learn from their chastening 3-0 defeat to Watford and he knew his players would be severely tested against a Leicester team who operate a similar counter-attacking style.
Ranieri reckons his Christmas leaders are still underdogs, but he believes that their stamina will serve them well after comparing them to movie hero Forrest Gump following their dramatic “great escape” last season.
Yesterday’s defeat, the first time Leicester had failed to score since they visited Sunderland in May, will surely mark another watershed, whether it proves to be another mere hiccup or signs of something more debilitating. If they’re to continue their fairy tale campaign in this match, Leicester will have to defy the history books once more.
Ranieri surprisingly withdrew Jamie Vardy, the Premier League’s top scorer, shortly after Benteke’s goal, but the former Chelsea boss explained the striker had been feeling unwell prior to the game. He has always maintained that Leicester must simply focus on getting forty points, although a win tomorrow would take them over that tally at the halfway point in the season.
It has generally been Liverpool who’ve got the better of Leicester in their most recent meetings, with the Reds winning four and drawing two of their last six matches.
Gegenpressing is no longer the buzzword at Anfield, but this was a triumph for organisation and graft as Liverpool learned the lessons of Vicarage Road and boxed very clever indeed.
“The second half was much better, but it is okay”. Origi brings to TEN the number of hamstring injuries suffered by Liverpool players since Klopp took over at Anfield in early October.
Moment of the match: Christian Benteke’s first-time sidefoot shot from 12 yards to break the deadlock having endured a hard time after coming off the bench in the first half. Matty James and Jeffery Schlupp are sidelined until mid-January.
Leicester have Robert Huth back from suspension, but remain without Daniel Drinkwater and Jeffrey Schlupp.
The result is a blow to Leicester’s title ambitions having thrust themselves into contention over the opening 17 games of the season, and Ranieri challenged his side to respond when they host Manchester City at the King Power Stadium on Tuesday.
Liverpool have never lost at home in the Premier League on Boxing Day (W6 D3). No use with unauthorized audio, video, data, fixture lists, club/league logos or “live” services. Only then did we start to play. He stayed until the summer of 2004, leaving with 39 goals in 150 league appearances.
