Sunday’s Premier League clash at King Power Stadium pits a desperate Leicester City against a Liverpool side chasing the title — and the gap in form and history is cavernous. Liverpool have won five of their last six matches, while Leicester haven’t tasted victory since late January, making this a tale of two tables.

What to watch

Leicester have lost and failed to score in five of their last six Premier League matches (Football Whispers). Liverpool’s front three will face a defence that has conceded 72 goals — the worst record in the division.

The implication: Viewers should expect a one-sided affair where Liverpool’s attack punishes a porous backline.

Who is the 17 year old playing for Liverpool?

Rio Ngumoha: profile and role

Rio Ngumoha is a 17‑year‑old winger who joined Liverpool from Chelsea in 2024. He is widely regarded as one of the most promising teenage talents in English football, possessing pace, dribbling ability, and composure in front of goal. Ngumoha has been integrated into Liverpool’s first‑team squad this season and is expected to feature in the matchday squad against Leicester.

  • Age: 17
  • Position: Left winger / attacking midfielder
  • Previous club: Chelsea academy
  • Reported transfer fee: At least £2.8 million (The Athletic)

His parents are of Nigerian descent, and he qualifies to represent Nigeria at international level.

How Ngumoha joined Liverpool

Ngumoha’s move from Chelsea to Liverpool was one of the most talked‑about academy transfers of 2024. According to The Athletic, the deal involved a compensation fee of £2.8 million, with add-ons potentially increasing the total. Liverpool manager Arne Slot personally convinced Ngumoha that Anfield offered the clearest path to first‑team football.

The upshot

Ngumoha’s arrival signals Liverpool’s long-term planning: investing in elite academy talent while competing for the title now. With Mohamed Salah’s future unresolved, the teenager could be a direct successor on the right wing.

What this means: Liverpool are building for continuity beyond the current golden generation.

How did Liverpool get Rio Ngumoha?

The transfer was completed in the summer 2024 window after months of negotiations. Chelsea had offered Ngumoha a professional contract, but the player chose Liverpool because of the clear development pathway under Slot (The Athletic). The fee, reported by multiple outlets including The Athletic, is set at £2.8 million — a record for a 16‑year‑old moving between English academies.

  • Competition from Manchester City and Arsenal was strong, but Liverpool’s pitch — regular first‑team training sessions and a clear timeline to minutes — won out.
  • Ngumoha made his senior debut in the Carabao Cup earlier this season and has since been a regular on the bench in Premier League matches.

The pattern: Liverpool have secured a talent who, if he develops as expected, could become a first‑team regular within two seasons. For Leicester, facing him this weekend is an early taste of the quality they’ll need to combat in the years ahead.

  • Rio Ngumoha is a 17‑year‑old winger who joined Liverpool from Chelsea for a fee of at least £2.8 million (The Athletic).
  • Liverpool beat Leicester City 2‑1 in their last meeting on 30 December 2022 (CBS Sports).
  • Liverpool are first with 76 points; Leicester sit 19th with 18 points (Forebet).

What’s unclear

  • Exact lineups for both teams will be confirmed one hour before kick‑off.
  • Kick‑off time for viewers in Asia and Australia may fall early morning — check local broadcaster schedules.
  • Whether Leicester’s Jamie Vardy (10 goals) will start after a recent minor injury.

Liverpool are the strongest side in the league right now. Their attacking depth — Salah, Núñez, Díaz — is simply too much for a defence that’s conceded 72 goals.— CBS Sports analyst You can watch the football match at Luton Town contra Coventry.

For Liverpool, three points on Sunday would keep the pressure on Arsenal in the title race. For Leicester, another loss would push them closer to Championship football — the gap to safety is already six points with only five matches remaining. The choice for the Foxes is stark: find a way to stop Mo Salah (27 goals, 18 assists) and an in‑form Liverpool side, or face the reality of relegation.
