A Fan Guide To City’s Liverpool Encounter
The busy Christmas schedule continues in earnest for both sides, who will be aiming to get points on the board as they meet for the second time in six days, this time in the Premier League.
Liverpool have not played since that Carabao Cup last-eight encounter, while the Foxes were beaten by Manchester City in a Boxing Day trip to Etihad Stadium. Before Tuesday’s top-flight clash commences on Filbert Way, take a look at what you need to know...
Who's starring on LCFC Radio?
One-and-a-half hours before the 8pm kick-off, at 6:30pm, Matchday Live begins with presenter Dan Bates alongside former City stars Gerry Taggart and Dean Hammond for 90 minutes of pre-match news and views. We'll also have interviews from inside the Foxes camp ahead of the game itself.
Then, at around 7:50pm, commentator James Fielden and Matt Elliott will be on hand to talk the Blue Army through all the action on Filbert Way. Live commentary can be found on the dedicated LCFC.com Match Centre, which includes regular text updates and exclusively imagery.
After full-time, on the other hand, Taggart, Hammond and Elliott will give their take on the action over 30 minutes of reaction and analysis. All pre and post-match coverage will be available across @LCFC social media, before highlights and interviews on LCFC.com over the days to follow.
What's the officiating team?
Andre Marriner will be the referee on Filbert Way, assisted by Simon Long and Scott Ledger. David Coote is the fourth official, while VAR is set to be overseen by Stuart Attwell and Mark Scholes.
How do I get match ready?
Due to new COVID-19 regulations, supporters aged 18 and over will be required to complete and sign an online pre-registration form (valid for the season) to show they have understood and agree to updated conditions of entry. These require all adult supporters to have certification that demonstrates they are any one of the following:
- Fully vaccinated (currently a full course of vaccination without the need for a booster);
- Able to provide evidence of a negative lateral flow test in the 48 hours preceding the event;
- Eligible for medical exemption
This means that those aged 18 years or over must have a valid NHS COVID Pass, or an alternative proof of a negative test result, to gain entry into the stadium.
In addition to the requirement for supporters to pre-register, the Club is required to conduct COVID-19 certification spot checks at turnstiles, to ensure supporters are adhering to the requirements of the UK Government’s Autumn/Winter Plan B. It is therefore advised that supporters arrive early to allow time for these checks to take place prior to kick-off.
Supporters that fail to pre-register or provide appropriate COVID certification on request risk being refused entry and tickets will not be refunded.

What happened last time against Liverpool?
James Maddison, Jamie Vardy and Harvey Barnes were all on the scoresheet within seven minutes as Leicester City secured a thrilling 3-1 comeback triumph over Liverpool in February.
Mo Salah’s first-half goal was cancelled out as the Foxes hit back late on to register the win in the last Premier League meeting between the two sides at King Power Stadium.
The reverse fixture saw Jürgen Klopp's side emerge victorious at Anfield, however, as Jonny Evans’ own goal and strikes from Diogo Jota and Roberto Firmino confirmed the hosts’ 3-0 victory.
The Reds also triumphed in last week's Carabao Cup Quarter-Final tie, winning on penalties after a 3-3 draw in normal time.
When can I catch match highlights?
Digital Members will be able to access a free two-minute highlights package, available on LCFC TV, via the Club's official website (free sign-up), around two hours after full-time.
