Key events
Still no Harry Winks in the Leicester squad. Van Nistelrooy does not like chatting about it after reports Winks was originally omitted having fallen out with the Dutchman over a demand to stay at the training ground once a week rather than continue a lengthy commute.
Alexander-Arnold is back in the matchday squad for Liverpool after five weeks out as the days seemingly tick down on his Anfield career.

Preamble
If you are coming here for a Liverpool title confirmation, then Arsenal want a word with you. Instead we will see Leicester get relegated if Liverpool give them the shooing everyone expects.
Obviously, Arne Slot’s side will win the league in the next seven days but Arsenal want to delay the celebrations as long as possible. The Reds have been the best team in the league all season, offering effective and efficient football. Mohamed Salah is their star turn, settling many matches to prove his worth at Anfield, something he will continue to do for a couple more years at least.
We could do some deep analysis on Leicester but they truth is they are utterly dreadful and will most likely be down by the end of the day. Ruud van Nistelrooy completely failed to correct the slide and will have to wonder if it is worth staying on for next season in the Championship.
Let’s hope it is competitive, at least.
Kick-off: 4.30pm BST
