Ryan Gravenberch, Cody Gakpo, Szoboszlai and Darwin Nunez are each one booking away from serving a one-match suspension in the top flight for accumulating five yellow cards.
This will be Liverpool’s 93rd Boxing Day fixture and their 45th at Anfield. They have won 45 of the previous 92.
Their last home Boxing Day defeat came in 1986 when Manchester United won 1-0 at Anfield.
Not since 1963 has a Liverpool player scored a Boxing Day hat-trick. Roger Hunt netted four against Stoke in a 6-1 Anfield victory.
Leicester manager Ruud van Nistelrooy faced Liverpool on 11 occasions as a player, scoring three times. He was on the winning side five times, twice at Anfield, but never scored in five outings in front of the Kop.
Only once before have the Reds kicked off at 8pm on Boxing Day. That came in 2019, when they won 4-0 away at Leicester.
