Wijnaldum expects Liverpool to be tested by Leicester
Leicester City may be managerless after Claudio Ranieri’s shock sacking but Liverpool cannot afford to take them lightly on Monday night, according to Georginio Wijnaldum.
The midfielder has recovered from a calf injury and is expected to be available for Liverpool’s trip to the King Power Stadium.
And despite Leicester struggling down in 17th in the Premier League, they could be inside the bottom three by Monday, Wijnaldum is still expecting a stern test.
“One thing is for sure, they are a good team and a difficult team to beat and that is something we must keep in mind,” he said.
“We cannot win this game on 90 per cent, we have to give 100 per cent to win this game.

“In the Premier League, almost everyone is difficult to beat; it depends on how you begin a game and how you play in the game.
“Now they are at the bottom of the league, but everyone knows they can do better than what they show right now. They showed it last season, so it is difficult to say where they really stand.”
“We are running out of games now and the teams at the bottom of the league want every chance to collect points to stay safe.”
