KATHMANDU: Liverpool look to maintain 100-percent-record as they face Leicester City who hope to preserve their recovery from opening defeat, at 5:15 pm NST today. The Reds, boasting a revived defensive line-up, are yet to concede a goal and have put past seven behind opponent-nets. On contrary, things look tough for Manager Puel as Vardy who scored seven goals in last five matches against Liverpool, serves suspension. While both sides hope to preserve the starting form, football Pundits citing title aspirations and defeat-less record of Liverpool in past six matches remarked that the Reds will edge Foxes in the latter's home turf. Both sides have no serious injury concerns. Probable Line-ups: Leicester XI: Schmeichel, Amartey, Morgan, Maguire, Chilwell, Mendy, Ndidi, R. Pereira, Maddison, Gray, Iheanacho Liverpool XI: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Van Dijk, Gomez, Robertson, Wijnaldum, Milner, Keita, Salah, Firmino, Mane
