After scoring two goals and providing one assist in Liverpool’s 4-4 draw with Greuther Furth last time out, Darwin Nunez continued his hot form by scoring against Le. ster again
The Uruguayan striker faced a difficult task in the first half hour. When it was almost impossible to find clear opportunities, but then with a quick nose and excellent movement led to the repetition of Diogo Jota’s shot easily.
The ex-Benfica striker’s pre-season form is increasingly showing why Liverpool paid a whopping £85million to sign him last summer.

4 goals in this game without Mohamed Salah’s name on the scoreboard, but the Egyptian attacker is one of the key players in the team. He assisted Bobby Clarke’s second goal of the game. And also a cross for Diogo Jota to tackle as well
Throughout the past 3 warm-up games, Liverpool scored 12 goals, but Salah only scored one goal. However, if looking at the details of each game The performance of the 31-year-old star player is still as impressive as ever.

Pre-season gives Jurgen Klopp another chance to look at youngsters in form This game, the German head coach has 19-year-old midfielder Clark in the starting line-up alongside Alexis Mac Allister and Curtis Jones.
Clark did not disappoint. He repaid Klopp’s trust by scoring Liverpool’s second goal, thanks to a sharp finish. From the stroke of Mohamed Salah

Trent Alexander-Arnold Real start in the first 2 pre-season games in the defensive midfield position But he returned to his usual right-back position against Leicester, forming in the back four alongside Andy Robertson, Ibrahima Konate and Virgil van Dijk.
Although according to the plan he is a right-back but Alexander-Arnold Assigned the role of an inverted full-back. We have seen him close up to stand in midfield all the time. Until almost scoring a goal during 45 minutes on the field
Alexander-Arnold Show great class in offensive games. But once again, defensively a weak point, he was almost punished a few times by Casey McAteer. One of which caused Wilfred Ndidi to almost score a shot for Leicester.

Jurgen Klopp revealed he has already decided on Liverpool’s next captain at his pre-match press conference. And gave an important hint about the decision by appointing Van Dijk as captain against Leicester.
The Dutch defender is a favorite for the role. By doing so many times when Jordan Henderson is not on the field.
But with Henderson and James Milner now out, it’s highly probable that Van Dijk will be appointed as the new captain, while Salah, Alisson and Ale Alexander-Arnold also in the network
