75 mins: Kelechi Iheanacho comes on for Leicester to replace Ayoze Perez and is almost played in on goal immediately. He flicks an optimistic ball into the space usually occupied by Kostas Tsimikas. That was the opportunity for Darwin Nunez to seal the game for Liverpool. He weaves and twists but can’t get a shot away so decides to lay it off to Mo Salah. Nunez shoulders the defender off the ball and takes it into the box. Leicester don’t look particularly threatening but they have pace on the counter and may only need one good chance to secure a point. 87 mins: Teenager Stefan Bajcetic replaces the injured Harvey Elliott and will play the final few minutes of this tense game.

We will see what happens in the second half! Dewsbury-Hall scored the first goal for Leicester in the 4th minute and Rodgers' Faes scored two own goals for Liverpool. In the second half, Leicester fought hard to find an equaliser but were unable to do so.

Two own goals from Wout Faes helped Liverpool come from behind to beat Leicester City 2-1 at Anfield on Friday night.

Nunez is through on goal and dinks the ball over Ward but is denied by the post, only for it to bounce back towards the chasing-back Faes who looks to clear the ball over the bar, but can only steer it into the roof of his own net. Alexander-Arnold delivers a low cross in a dangerous area, but there is absolutely no danger in the box as Ward prepares to collect, but Faes takes a swipe at the ball at the near post and it flicks behind him and over the head of Ward. The ball falls to Nunez who returns the ball to Salah and the Egyptian makes no mistake with the finish, but he had drifted offside. The first was poor defending, there was a clear call from his goalkeeper to let the ball trickle into his hands, but Faes completely ignored him and went to clear a harmless ball, before it spun off his boot and into Ward’s net in comical fashion. Nunez slipped Salah through with a great defence-splitting ball, but with only Ward to beat, he got the execution all wrong. Faes had other ideas, though, and chose to ignore loud calls from his goalkeeper to leave the ball, took a swipe at it, and could only watch on agonisingly as the ball spun off his boot, over the head of Ward, and bounced across the line at the back post.

New Liverpool signing Cody Gakpo arrived in front of the Anfield faithful ahead of the Reds' Premier League fixture against Leicester City on Friday.

The Premier's League condensed winter schedule offers no let up for Klopp's side, as Liverpool take on Brentford, Wolves and Brentford in less than two weeks in the New Year. In that time, Gakpo will be hoping to feature at least once for his new club.

Manager Jurgen Klopp heaped praise on new signing Cody Gakpo's potential, adding that the Premier League club had got their timing just right to secure the.

“It was a home run (the negotiations),” Klopp said. “We were following him, and he always kept making the next steps. In these things, it’s about timing and getting players in at the right moment, when they haven’t scored 55 goals a season.

Leicester were undone by a pair of own-goals, thanks in part to the relentless pressure from Darwin Nunez, which earned Liverpool all three points.

[Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/252389/Kiernan-Dewsbury-Hall) breezed through the heart of the defence and produced a cool finish past [Alisson](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/196876/Alisson) just four minutes in. [Scotland](/soccer/team?id=580) international had space on the left flank but didn't utilise it often enough to his normal standards. MF Thiago, 8 -- Liverpool's brightest player in midfield. Could have had an assist, too, after creating a key chance for Salah. Came close to converting a volley that glanced past the post. The right-back played a part in the equaliser, too, when his cross was redirected into the goal. The end to the half got worse for the 24-year-old Leicester defender after he registered a second own-goal in calamitous fashion, this time failing to clear [Darwin Nunez](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/271788/Darwin-Núñez)'s effort that came back off the post. A composed display from the 31-year-old. GK Alisson, 6 -- Unfortunate to concede the first goal after some sloppy defending by those in front of him, presenting a difficult chance for him to deal with. Jurgen Klopp, 7 -- Took no chances after signs of a Robertson injury and managed the game well. The Reds will also be anxious as they wait to see whether Their guests' stumbles allowed Liverpool to hold on to three vital points.

As Salah, Nunez and Co. failed, Leicester's Belgian defender rescued Klopp's side with a pair of comical own goals at Anfield.

This was Rodgers' fifth visit with the Foxes, and he's lost them all, his side finding various ways to avoid picking up a positive result. He kept going, as he always does, but this was not a night to soothe concerns over the midfield options at Klopp's disposal. Liverpool lost that game 3-2, but they held on to win this one, the Kop ruthlessly taunting Faes with cries of 'shoot!' every time he received possession in the second half.

Liverpool have completed the signing of Cody Gakpo from PSV Eindhoven, but where will the Dutch player fit into Jurgen Klopp's team?

This is where it could be feasible for Gakpo to play in a slightly deeper position. Klopp already boasts a number of world-class attacking options and so it’s not immediately clear how Gakpo will give Liverpool a different dimension of any value. “He is a young player with a lot of potential,” said Jurgen Klopp.

We had chances to kill the game at 3-0, but still, good points.” The goals were completely against the run of play, we’ve lost two goals to throw ins. “It’s small margins, I thought the players did a great job, kept going. We won, which is positive, but there are plenty of things we have to improve on.” “I thought we played well today. “We tried to get in the game but we weren’t good enough and we know that.

Reds fans will be delighted with the transfer after the 23-year-old's blistering start to the season. We know what we want to do and we will see if we can do it.

Trent Alexander-Arnold acknowledged that Liverpool had a poor outing against Leicester City, but was happy to get three points nonetheless.

We pride ourselves on our intensity, especially out of the blocks and it just wasn’t there today, they scored the early goal and it caught us by surprise." You like the performances to go with it but the three points are the most important thing and try to get into a position in the league where we think we should be, where we haven’t been. But these are the ones you look back on and think you need to win it, looking back on it at the end of the season, it doesn’t matter.
