Current streaks

Recent form

Liverpool

Liverpool have been in impressive form recently, maintaining an unbeaten run that stretches back 21 games. Their last six matches have seen them secure four wins and two draws, demonstrating their resilience and consistency. The Reds have been particularly potent in attack, averaging an impressive 2.67 goals per game over this period. A standout result was their recent 6-3 victory over Tottenham Hotspur, showcasing their attacking prowess in a high-scoring encounter. Defensively, Liverpool have been somewhat vulnerable, conceding 1.5 goals per game, but they've managed to keep two clean sheets in their last six matches. Their ability to outscore opponents is evident in their positive goal difference of 7 during this spell. With 67% of their recent games seeing both teams score and over 2.5 goals, Liverpool's matches have been entertaining affairs for spectators. Their current position at the top of the Premier League table with 39 points from 16 games underlines their strong start to the season.

Leicester

Leicester City are enduring a difficult run of form, having lost four of their last six Premier League matches. The Foxes are currently on a two-game losing streak, conceding a worrying seven goals without reply in their last two outings against Wolves and Newcastle United. Defensively, Leicester have been particularly vulnerable, failing to keep a clean sheet in their last 11 matches and conceding an average of 2.67 goals per game over their last six fixtures. Their recent encounters have been high-scoring affairs, with all six of their most recent matches featuring over 2.5 goals. Despite their struggles, Leicester did manage a convincing 3-1 victory over West Ham earlier in the month, offering a glimmer of hope amidst their poor run. However, their current 17th position in the league table, with just 14 points from 17 games, highlights the urgent need for improvement if they are to avoid a relegation battle.

Recent home/away form

Liverpool

Liverpool have been in imperious form at Anfield, boasting an impressive five-match winning streak before their recent 2-2 draw with Fulham. The Reds have been particularly stingy in defence, keeping four clean sheets in their last six home fixtures and conceding just three goals during this period. Their attacking prowess has been equally noteworthy, with Liverpool netting 14 times at an average of 2.33 goals per game. A standout performance came against Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League, where Liverpool romped to a convincing 4-0 victory. The team's overall goal difference of +11 in these six matches underscores their dominance at home, with both teams scoring in only 33% of the games. Liverpool's home form has been crucial in propelling them to the top of the Premier League table, where they currently sit with 39 points from 16 games.

Leicester

Leicester City's recent away form has been particularly concerning, with the Foxes enduring a dismal run of three consecutive defeats on the road in the Premier League. Their defensive frailties have been brutally exposed, conceding a staggering 11 goals in their last three away league matches. Notably, Leicester have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last six away games across all competitions, with their defence shipping an alarming 19 goals during this period. The 5-2 League Cup defeat to Manchester United and the 4-1 drubbing at Brentford stand out as particularly high-scoring encounters. Despite managing to score in four of these six away fixtures, Leicester's attacking output has been dwarfed by their defensive woes, resulting in a woeful goal difference of -12. This poor away form has contributed significantly to their precarious 17th position in the league, leaving the Foxes in a desperate battle to avoid relegation.
