Follow live coverage as Leicester City face Liverpool in the Premier League today.

A six-match win streak has lifted the Reds back into contention for a top-four finish despite a largely dismal season, but Jurgen Klopp’s team must continue to win and hope Newcastle or Man United drop more points in their final fixtures.

Dean Smith has not yet had the big impact hoped for since he replaced Brendan Rodgers and Leicester are two points from safety with three games to play including this one - though they have a better goal difference than Leeds, Everton and Nottingham Forest, which could yet prove important.

We will bring you all the action and updates from today's game in the live blog below:

Another Liverpool corner. The Reds are starting to find their groove.

Liverpool try to unlock their hosts with an intricate series of passes across the right. The final ball is tipped in for Salah and the forward can't bring it under control for a finish.

What a ball that is from Maddison! The England international's days at the Foxes are likely numbered even if they stay up, and he shows why with a crossfield delivery to cut open Liverpool. Vardy cannot finish the half-chance.

Leicester City vs Liverpool

Liverpool have a corner of their own without the Foxes left sweating under the cosh. The Reds haven't quite found a dynamic foothold in this tussle to begin with.

Now Leicester come up with a corner off Konate, but again, there's nothing to be stuck from the opportunity this early on.

This has been a lively opening, with the home crowd making plenty of noise at the King Power Stadium. The fans and the players below them clearly understand the gravity of this match.

Maddison pumps the delivery in and the flag goes up for offside. Liverpool come away without too much trouble. Their hosts are definitely up for this must-win contest.

Leicester City vs Liverpool

Another free-kick for Leicester now, as Diaz puts the shove on Maddison moments after the latter body-checked him to no response from the officials. It's in a tidy position, deep on the right flank.
