Follow live coverage as Leicester City face Liverpool in the Premier League today.
A six-match win streak has lifted the Reds back into contention for a top-four finish despite a largely dismal season, but Jurgen Klopp’s team must continue to win and hope Newcastle or Man United drop more points in their final fixtures.
Dean Smith has not yet had the big impact hoped for since he replaced Brendan Rodgers and Leicester are two points from safety with three games to play including this one - though they have a better goal difference than Leeds, Everton and Nottingham Forest, which could yet prove important.
We will bring you all the action and updates from today's game in the live blog below:
Leicester City vs Liverpool
In the away corner, Jurgen Klopp's Reds are seeking to finish on a high note. They will end the campaign with just the one honour in the curtain-raising FA Community Shield, but could still salvage matters with Champions League qualification.
Leicester City vs Liverpool
No more so is that readily apparent than with these two sides. In the home corner, Dean Smith's Foxes are fighting to preserve their Premier League status. It is hard to believe only seven years ago, they were champions.
Leicester City vs Liverpool
It's truly the business end of the season now, at both ends of the table. But while Arsenal's loss to Brighton might have pushed the title towards Manchester City, there's plenty to play for elsewhere.

Hello and welcome to live coverage of the 2022-23 Premier League season, as top-four chasing Liverpool make the trip to face relegation-battling Leicester City at the King Power Stadium!
Will Alisson be the architect of another Liverpool great escape?
It is the 36th game of their Premier League season and Liverpool, on a late charge towards the Champions League places, are away in the Midlands. Needing victory, they are drawing as the game enters the 95th minute. And then goalkeeper turns goalscorer. West Bromwich Albion suffered the indignity of conceding to Alisson in 2021. History is unlikely to repeat itself at Leicester on Monday, even if it falls on the eve of the second anniversary of the only goal ever scored by a Liverpool goalkeeper. But, once again, they are aiming for the improbable, encouraged by their memories.
“A lot of times when I look on Twitter for news, that goal appears in my timeline,” Alisson said. “This week I watched it already. It’s good, it made me feel good. It makes me think how crazy it is that I scored a goal. It was kind of a sign for us that something special was coming. Because I can be 100 times in the box, I don’t know if I will score again. I know now I can head a ball in a good way, but hopefully we are not going to need it again. I think this season we are having special moments, [Diogo] Jota’s goal is a really special one against Tottenham; last minute as well.”
Finish in the top four and Alisson may go down as the architect of another great escape, albeit in more conventional fashion.

The goalkeeper’s dramatic winner at West Brom two seasons ago rescued Liverpool’s top-four bid. Now, the Brazilian is keeping the Reds alive in more conventional fashion
