Good afternoon and welcome to Eurosport’s LIVE Boxing Day commentary of the Premier League clash involving Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool and table-toppers Leicester City. Team news and all of the pre-match build-up to follow.

The visitors win a free-kick which is taken quickly, Liverpool half clear the delivery and it falls to Vardy who strikes a half volley straight at Mignolet.

Leicester City get us underway in the second-half.

Half-time - the teams are level at the break.

But the chance is gone as the referee calls a foul, Benteke was climbing all over his marker.

Or maybe not... Liverpool win a corner right at the end of the first-half...

Lallana picks up a cheap yellow card and that'll be that for the first-half.

Coutinho's delivery is poor and King heads it away at the near post.

Liverpool have a real opportunity here after Morgan concedes a needless free-kick in a wide area...

There won't be too much time added on at the end of the first-half.

The corner doesn't come to anything. Chants of 'Sakho' ring around Anfield.

Leicester quickly turn defence into attack with Mahrez collecting the ball in a central position, he skips by a couple of challenges before firing a shot at goal which Mignolet does well to tip over the bar. That's more like it from the visitors!

Five minutes to half-time now. We've had an intriguing game without a goal to show for it.

Liverpool continue to ramp up the pressure on the visitors as Morgan blocks a shot. The hosts are looking the more likely to score at the moment.

Christian Benteke is on now and he has a point to prove...

He's going off here, he appears to have picked up a hamstring injury. Benteke is ready to come on...

Origi has picked up a knock here and it's unclear if he will be able to continue...

A win for Leicester City would virtually guarantee Premier League football next season. Well, survival is Claudio Ranieri's target...

Henderson whips in the free-kick towards Lovren whose header is straight at Schmeichel.

A patient build-up from Liverpool results in a cross fired in from Coutinho but Leicester do well to clear the danger but they then concede a free-kick.
