Liverpool have landed further woe onto Leicester City and their Premier League survival hopes, as they currently lead 0-2 at the King Power Stadium.

The goals came within three minutes of each other on 33' and 36', and both were scored by Curtis Jones, with VAR called into action on both occasions.

Mo Salah provided the assist for both goals as well.

As it stands, Leicester lie in 19th place in the Premier League, a point behind Leeds and two behind 17th placed Everton.

For Liverpool, it draws them closer to a top four finish, but they still remain a point behind Man United and Newcastle having played one game more.

"I knew weeks ago it was completely out of sight," said Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp on his side's top four hopes.

"I couldn't see it at all, but that did not mean we would not try to get closer. That's the only thing we did, we got closer.

"Everyone involved will never forget it in our entire lives.

"That means it is part of us and, you are right, we were around when miracles happened, that is true, but it was then still in our hands.

"Now we have to win but that does not mean anything changes because the other teams could win all their games."

Leicester City manager Dean Smith also spoke before the game, and discussed his side's relegation battle with Leeds and Everton.

"We were written off six games ago and all of a sudden Leeds and Everton were written off and now Everton aren't. The game can change very quickly.

"Not one of the players wants to be in the position we're in. They are searching for answers themselves. All the lads care, they just show it in different ways.

"I'm expecting fight, but I'm expecting better quality than we showed in decision-making opportunities [against Fulham]. We need points and it's a home game for us, hopefully Jurgen is not disappointed in the fight he sees."
