Lessons Learned: Leicester City (H) 2-1
It’s wasn’t very pretty eh? But at this time of the year, the classic statement prevails: three points is three points.

Liverpool’s midfield needs are great and many hands make light work. The January window is notorious for the challenges that it brings, which means Julian Ward and co will have their work cut out. For all the top names linked, FSG seem unlikely to let the purse strings be loosened too much so …

With Salah, Alexander-Arnold and Thiago all unavailable, the champions were without their three best creative players, leaving the creative burden upon a midfield and forward line that has had little time to develop the sort of relationships required to pick apart a defence. Likewise, Leicester was without Ndidi - their most important midfield …
