Every country has their own Christmas traditions, and in England it’s fair to say that football on Boxing Day is one of the most popular. There is a full slate of EPL betting games on tap, and they include Liverpool, who will welcome the surprise EPL leaders Leicester City to Anfield. Kick-off is set for 10 AM EST on Saturday, December 26 on NBCSN.
Liverpool Vs Leicester City Pick and Soccer Betting Preview
Leicester may be the surprise team in the Premier League this season, but they are absolutely full value for their top of the table standing. Liverpool are a team in transition, with new manager Jurgen Klopp looking to out his stamp on the Reds. Leicester are straight up favorites at -110, while Liverpool are a rather juicy +280.

Why bet on Liverpool
After a bit of a bright start under their new boss, Liverpool has started to fade a little. They are currently sitting in 9th place with 24 points from 17 games, and you have to say that a European spot looks a little questionable at this point. Liverpool are now winless in their last 3 games, losing to Newcastle and Watford, and picking up a point versus West Brom. Those are games that they would have expected to win, so you have to question their confidence right now. Liverpool are 3-3-2 at home this season, good for 9th overall. They have scored 10 goals and given up 11 playing at Anfield.
