The Reds will come up against a manager who has proven a thorn in their side in recent times, though.
Claude Puel enjoyed a six-match unbeaten run (won three, drawn three) against Liverpool as Olympique Lyonnais and Southampton boss - a streak that came to an end last season when his Foxes side lost 2-1 at Anfield.
Puel's team have made a promising start to 2018-19, narrowly losing out to Manchester United at Old Trafford on the opening day before beating Wolverhampton Wanderers and Southampton in their subsequent Premier League matches.
However, they head into Saturday's clash without striker Jamie Vardy following his sending off against Wolves.
