Liverpool vs Leicester: Foxes were the team that ended Reds’ incredible unbeaten run at Anfield

Liverpool host Leicester in the Premier League on Wednesday night on the back of an incredible home run.

Since being beaten by Crystal Palace in April 2017, Jurgen Klopp’s side have not lost a league game at Anfield. That’s 32 games (won 23, drawn nine), the longest such run in the division since Manchester City went 37 matches without defeat between December 2010 and December 2012.

Although seemingly on course to match their greatest unbeaten run, there is still a lot of work to do to surpass Bob Paisley‘s great side.

Between February 1978 and January 1981, the Reds went an incredible 63 home league games without tasting defeat and included the 1978/79 and 1979/80 First Division title triumphs.

So who ended the run? It was Leicester, as goals from Pat Byrne and Jim Melrose gave them a 2-1 victory at Anfield.

Should they beat Claude Puel’s side – Leicester have lost six of their last seven away Premier League games against Liverpool – the club will move a step closer to equalling their next best unbeaten run, which came under Bill Shankly and lasted 34 games between March 1970 and December 1971.

In addition, Liverpool are looking to win eight consecutive Premier League home games for the first time since March 2010.
