00:00...approaches for Liverpool, whilst the lights are about to go out on Leicester City.
00:07The two extremes on display at the King Power Stadium, no coronation today, that must wait a few days more.
00:14But anything other than a Leicester victory will mean a second relegation in the space of three seasons.
00:22Yeah, Van Nistelroen make some changes. I mean, they had a good result last time for them, a 2-2 draw against Brighton.
00:27There's changes on the right side of the team. Riccardo Pereira, as soon as his third Premier League start for Leicester,
00:32has had so many injury problems. He's a good player, well attacked from the right side.
00:35Dico Devereid is another player that's coming back into the side.
00:39Al Kunis, we've talked a lot about him this season. Bright is a fun player to watch.
00:43In and around, or in behind, Jamie Vardy has just struggled in this team to get consistent goals.
00:48Well, there's good team news. There's only Joe Gomez now. Ahmed is not available.
00:53If you just quickly look to the right side there of the subs, Alexander-Arnold is fitter again.
00:56He's on the bench. Nunez was in illness now. He's OK. So it's a strong side.
01:00Connor Bradley, probably going to be the future at right back. We'll see what they do in the summer.
01:03If, it looks likely, Alexander-Arnold leads the football club.
01:06There's a change in midfield. Dominic Sabaslai comes back in for Curtis-Jones.
01:10And that three really is, I feel, the best and strongest three in there.
01:14And then a slight change again up front. Cody Gagpo comes in on the left-hand side.
01:18Jota goes to the bench. And Luis Diaz, we've seen this a few times, will play as the central striker.
01:23And Mo Salah, I'll go over the numbers again. 27 Premier League goals and 18 assists so far this season.
01:29So it is Liverpool in red who get us underway on a gloriously sunny East Midlands afternoon.
01:34with every expectation that this game, Graham Lasseau and Lee Dixon will follow a similar pattern to Arsenal's cruise at Ipswich.
01:43Most neutrals, let alone Liverpool fans, would want to see it clinched at Anfield in front of their own supporters next weekend.
01:49Here's Diaz. It's Mo Salah.
01:51And it hits the inside of an upright and bounces out again.
01:57A matter of fractions of an inch.
01:59McAllister's corner.
02:01And this will come for Ryan Grauenbeck.
02:04Freshman inking his new two-year contract.
02:09It's McAllister's kick and it's Van Dijk who met it.
02:13Shoulder to shoulder with Vout Fass.
02:15Here's Mavadidi.
02:18Undidi.
02:20Leicester's turn to test the strength of the frame.
02:25With the pace of Diaz.
02:29Gagpo.
02:29It's Salah.
02:37Hermansson's parry.
02:38Ricciardo's clearance.
02:40And this is Grauenbeck.
02:42With those luxuries.
02:43Salah.
02:45Deflection loops in onto the top of the net.
02:47And Liverpool do have a corner this time.
02:48Mavadidi.
02:50Mavadidi.
02:51Bardi.
02:55Salah.
02:57Bradley.
02:58Nice check.
03:00Blocked by El Canoose.
03:03Defensive header from Decoradova-Reed.
03:06A prolific club career.
03:08Yes, Simikas.
03:09And it's Salah.
03:12And it's away and behind off Thomas.
03:18Backdive Van Dijk.
03:20Diaz.
03:22Gagpo.
03:22Gagpo.
03:27Gagpo.
03:28And Hermansson athletically, watchfully, guiding it beyond the angle for a corner.
03:39Canate.
03:42And hooked high by Ndidi.
03:43Ronald Bradley escaping.
03:50And through to Cody Gagpo.
03:52Turns.
03:55To his compatriot, Gagpo.
03:57On for the Greek international, Simikas.
03:59And Salah unable to control it.
04:03Gagpo.
04:07Soboslai.
04:09Diaz.
04:09And goalless at the break.
04:16Soboslai.
04:19And Cody.
04:20First to the scene.
04:22One down the side to one over the top.
04:24It's put the pressure on the defenders.
04:27Simikas just getting put on the pressure.
04:29Mistake.
04:30Salah's scooped task for Soboslai.
04:33And Gagpo.
04:39Grabenbeck.
04:39Bradley shows.
04:43It was turned goalwards by Diaz.
04:46Brilliant football.
04:48Grabenbeck.
04:50Diaz.
04:53Oh, it comes for Simikas.
04:55That's as close as he's ever come to scoring for Liverpool in more than 120 games.
05:02Salah.
05:03Nice twist.
05:05And not enough curl on the shot.
05:06Bradley's on his haunches.
05:12McAllister.
05:16Soboslai.
05:19And the header by Chota.
05:20Well, it's time.
05:25Feels for hands there.
05:27Buonanotte.
05:29And some Didi turning on it.
05:31And Daka.
05:32And the ball is touched in, but it's not for the stand.
05:35The referee has blown.
05:39And Leicester's celebrations, Ruud van Nistelrooy included, rapidly cut short.
05:44You see the look there.
05:48I'll tell you what.
05:50I'm not being funny.
05:51If that's not a goalkeeper, if that's a centre-back and they're jumping for the ball, that's not a foul.
05:56Well, because he's a goalkeeper, they have special...
06:00Tim will be in the studio now saying, that's not true.
06:03But I'm telling you, it's true.
06:05They get different rules applied to them.
06:08Simikas.
06:10Van Dijk.
06:11Salah.
06:12Post again.
06:13And when it was steered goalwards by Chota.
06:17And then, this time, it's Trent Alexander-Arnold.
06:23And there's no question now what the reception is.
06:32Shut off.
06:34Emotions laid bare.
06:38It may be a farewell gift.
06:40But what it most certainly does is lift Liverpool one stride closer to that fabled golden sky.
06:54Van Dijk got involved.
06:56Salah hits the post.
06:58And I think it's that challenge there that they're after some sort of referee intervention.
07:03They're not going to get it.
07:04It's just chaos.
07:11But in the end,
07:13it just gets
07:13a huge amount of power through it.
07:16And that's what took it through the defence.
07:20Goalkeeper sees it late.
07:21He's had a great game as well.
07:23Hermanson.
07:23Well, the one off the bar from Chota.
07:30I thought that was the end of the opportunity.
07:32What a strike by Trent Alexander-Arnold with his left foot.
07:37Alexander-Arnold up in earnest support.
07:40And it's chipped in for Chota.
07:44He couldn't control his header.
07:45What a ball.
07:46Elliott.
07:49It's Salah.
07:49Elliott again.
07:54And touched behind by Ndidi.
07:56Oh, Dias has got his hands in his head.
07:58Same.
08:02And for Ndidi.
08:06Brilliant set-up.
08:08Mavadidi.
08:08Just wait.
08:09and Jeremy Monger
08:14is coming on
08:15who is just 15 years
08:17and 284 days old.
08:20He is the
08:21second youngest player
08:23ever in the Premier League.
08:24He made his debut against Newcastle
08:2613 days ago as a substitute.
08:27Only Ethan Wenary
08:28of Arsenal
08:29has played
08:30at a more tender age.
08:33Incredible, isn't it?
08:34What a day for him again
08:35playing at home.
08:36What were you doing at 15, Graeme?
08:39This year as well.
08:42As is always the case, isn't it?
08:44Yeah.
08:44To go through a season
08:45as I said before
08:47they've only dropped 20 points.
08:49So far
08:50that's some
08:51squad achievement.
08:53Skip.
08:55Maybe one final twist.
08:57Here's Daka
08:58it's Buonanotti.
08:58It's Buonanotti.
08:59It's Buonanotti.
09:06Liverpool have one step to go
09:11on their stairway to heaven.
09:14Leicester City
09:15down and out
09:17relegated
09:18for the second time
09:19in three seasons.
09:23And amidst
09:23the benevolent sunshine
09:24of the East Midlands
09:26Liverpool celebrate
09:28and Leicester mourn
09:30the two sides
09:31of the...
