Defensive shortcomings and a failure to take chances once undermined Liverpool’s efforts that night so Jurgen Klopp will be hopeful that his side have learned their lessons come Saturday evening.
Jamie Vardy is expected to return for Leicester after missing his side’s victory over the Reds with a groin Strain. For the visitors, Dejan Lovren remains a doubt due back problems while Joel Matip and Emre Can are being assessed after sustaining knocks last week.

What time does it start?
The game kicks off at 5.30pm on Saturday 23 September at the King Power Stadium.
Where can I watch it?
The game will be broadcast on BT Sport 1 with coverage starting at 5pm.
It’s a big game for?
Jurgen Klopp. Another disappointing result would really set the alarm bells ringing at Anfield. Liverpool have not won in their last four games as question marks continue to persist over the state of the side’s backline. Klopp needs his men to put in a convincing and assertive performance against the Foxes on Saturday otherwise the Reds could find themselves a potential eight points off the pace.
Player to watch?
Jamie Vardy. The Englishman memorably scored that goal against Liverpool during a 2-0 victory that helped the Foxes along the way in their title-winning season last year. Vardy is set to return on Saturday after suffering a groin strain and will be hoping to hit the ground running. Against a defensively fragile side such as Liverpool, Vardy should be in his element.

Goal!
Everton 1-1 Bournemouth
Everton are back in the game through Oumar Niasse. Ben Davies fires the ball into Niasse who is waiting in the box and hammers it in.
Goal!
Stoke 0-3 Chelsea
It's a second for Alvaro Morata who collected the ball, beat Darren Fletcher and Glenn Johnson then calmly finishing.
Goal!
Everton 2-1 Bouremouth
They're back! Ben Davies had a shot blocked which falls to Oumar Niasse who bundles the ball into the net. Goodison is bouncing.
Goal!
Stoke 0-4 Chelsea
It's a hat-trick! Alvaro Morata has his first hat-trick in English football, and judging by today it may well not be his last. Cesra Azpilicueta put the ball on a plate for Morata who scored with ease.
Goal!
Manchester City 4-0 Crystal Palace
Sergio Aguero has his goal, and as captain of my fantasy team I say about time. The Argentine is unmarked in the area and Palace are punished accordingly.
Goal!
Swansea 1-2 Watford
Richarlison beats Fabianski one-on-one by and sends the Watford fans crazy.
Goal!
Manchester City 5-0 Crystal Palace
Fabian Delph gets in on the act, and what a goal too. He picks up the ball on the edge of the box and curls it in off the bar.
Full time
Burnely 0-0 Huddersfield
Is there any point in showing the highlights on Match of the Day later?
