Foxes to stay on top ... just

Cape Town - The season’s enduring surprise packages Leicester City may battle for all three points at home to Liverpool on Tuesday - but will do enough to remain Premiership leaders.

That is the view of our resident experts, most of whom tip a 1-1 share of the spoils; remember that the Reds come off a thrilling 5-4 triumph over Norwich, also on enemy terrain.

But considering the Foxes hold a three-point lead over both Manchester City and Arsenal, a draw would be enough to keep them at the head of the pack regardless of other midweek outcomes.

Each round of the 2015/16 Premiership campaign, a group of our staff has a crack at predicting the results - do the exercise yourself, if you like, and see how you compare afterwards.

Compiled by Rob Houwing (Newcastle-partial), the others are Garrin Lambley (Everton), Herman Mostert (Chelsea), and a trio of Manchester United devotees in Tashreeq Vardien, Lloyd Burnard and Maano Nekhavhambe.

Three points are awarded for an entirely correct scoreline, and one for right result.

I'd keep Siya captain for now, but look to have someone else for 2027.
