Can Liverpool continue their perfect start to the Premier League season?
Having won their opening three games, the Reds travel to the King Power Stadium this weekend looking to make it four from four.
Not since the 1990-91 campaign have Liverpool taken 12 points from 12. At Leicester, Jurgen Klopp's men will be looking to sign off in style ahead of the first international break of the season.
They won there last season, triumphing 3-2 in a madcap game, though they were also eliminated from the Carabao Cup on the same ground.
Here, Goal takes a look at everything you need to know ahead of Saturday's meeting...
Liverpool injuries
Liverpool are still without Dejan Lovren, who is working his way back to fitness after an abdominal injury. The Croatian is expected to return to team training during the international break.
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Rhian Brewster are long-term absentees.
Liverpool suspensions
Liverpool do not have any suspended players for this game.
Likely Liverpool starting line-up
Klopp has named an unchanged side in each of Liverpool's three games so far this season, but hinted last weekend that he may need to consider changes, with players feeling "the intensity" of the opening weeks.
So what are his options? He has plenty in midfield, where none of Jordan Henderson, Adam Lallana or new signing Fabinho have started a game yet. Of those three, Henderson would be the logical choice, perhaps replacing James Milner.
Trent Alexander-Arnold was taken off last week with Klopp stating that the 19-year-old was fading physically. He could use Joe Gomez, or even Nathaniel Clyne at right-back, with Joel Matip an option to play at centre-half. Most likely, though, is an unchanged back four and front three.
Leicester team news
The Foxes have their own problems, with the most significant being the absence of Jamie Vardy, who is serving the last of a three-game suspension. Given Vardy has scored in each of his last five meetings with Liverpool, that will come as a relief to Klopp and his side.
New signing Caglar Soyuncu is likely to miss out as he builds up match fitness, while midfielder Matty James is out with an Achilles injury.
