Leicester lineup vs. Liverpool: Predicted XI for Premier League clash as Van Nistelrooy receives quadruple boost

Four boosts for Ruud: Predicted Leicester XI vs. Liverpool

Leicester City manager Ruud van Nistelrooy is poised to receive a quadruple selection boost for Sunday's Premier League battle with Liverpool at the King Power Stadium.

The Foxes will be relegated if they fail to win this weekend and would likely just delay the inevitable if they can pull off a surprise success, but they will at least have nearly all of their options available for this one.

Wout Faes and Jeremy Monga will both return from knocks, while Victor Kristiansen is back from a personal problem, and Facundo Buonanotte is available again after being ineligible to face Brighton & Hove Albion in last weekend's 2-2 draw.

As a result, only Abdul Fatawu (knee) and Harry Winks (disciplinary) are missing for the Foxes, but Van Nistelrooy should not shuffle the pack too much after their praiseworthy display at the Amex.

However, the Dutchman may feel that James Justin is the best equipped to deal with Mohamed Salah on the left-hand side, so the door may swing open for Ricardo Pereira to come in on the right.

Conor Coady and Brighton hero Caleb Okoli are both expected to continue in front of Mads Hermansen, though, while Wilfred Ndidi and Boubakary Soumare are midfield shoo-ins.

Buonanotte has struggled to get into Van Nistelrooy's good books when available, so the Seagulls loanee should be fighting a losing battle to displace any of Kasey McAteer, Bilal El Khannouss, Stephy Mavididi or Jamie Vardy.

Leicester City possible starting lineup: Hermansen; Pereira, Okoli, Coady, Justin; Ndidi, Soumare; McAteer, El Khannouss, Mavididi; Vardy
