Anfield has waited nearly seven weeks but Premier League football will finally return to the historic stadium on Friday as Liverpool host Leicester City.

The World Cup may be over but the festive period offers up a feast of domestic football and the Foxes’ trip to the North West looks set to be a tasty contest.

Both clubs made sluggish starts to the season but rallied ahead of the break and will be looking up the table as the new year approaches.

Leicester have beaten Liverpool at the King Power Stadium in each of the last two seasons but they’ve not won at Anfield for more than two decades.

Former Reds boss Brendan Rodgers certainly knows what it takes to win in L4 but even with spirits now high in the Foxes camp, Friday’s game will be a real test.

RadioTimes.com has rounded up everything you need to know about how to watch Liverpool v Leicester on TV and online.

Liverpool v Leicester prediction

Leicester’s last win at Anfield was in 2000 and though Rodgers knows what it takes to win at the stadium, doing so with the Foxes is likely to be a tough ask.

After nearly seven weeks without Premier League football, Liverpool’s first home game since the World Cup break is likely to be played in a raucous atmosphere, which should add to the intensity on the pitch.

With plenty of attacking talent on show, this should be an end-to-end contest with chances at both ends but the Reds’ quality should see them come out on top.

Our prediction: Liverpool 2-0 Leicester
