Summary:
Leicester City had a dream season finishing on top of the Premier League Table last year so you have to wonder if they can repeat their success. Leicester City has a lot of creative attacking players but their defense is a little suspect. Liverpool didn’t do much spending in the offseason but return a strong core from a year ago. Liverpool traditionally plays well at home so I think they have the advantage in this one.
