Brendan Rodgers desperate to put a dent into Liverpool's title challenge

Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers is intended to put a dent into Liverpool's title challenge, claims Jamie Redknapp. Two sides are set to play on Boxing Day at the King Power Stadium and Redknapp believes Rodgers has been looking forward to facing his former club at home which is why his team will leave it all on the pitch. The 46-year-old spent three years at Anfield and came to winning the title in 2014 but failed and was sacked a year later. Then Rodgers moved to Celtic where he won every title available in his two full seasons in charge of the Scottish giants before returning to the Premier League for Leicester. In his Daily Mail column Redknapp wrote: “This has been Leicester’s first real wobble. A home draw against Norwich, and a defeat against Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium in which they did not show the personality we expected of them. But Brendan Rodgers will have been looking forward to this one — Liverpool at the King Power Stadium. They lost 2-1 at Anfield in October, courtesy of a stoppage-time penalty. Now he tackles his old club on home turf. Leicester will have a go.  “At Liverpool, he (Rodgers) fell two points short of the title. At Celtic, he won it all. Now at Leicester, the players are loving it. They started their season targeting the Champions League and they remain on track.  This has all the hallmarks of the game of the season. Liverpool just won the Club World Cup in Qatar, so they could have done with an easier game on their return. Maybe emotions are high after that victory but they have got to get back to business.” Source- Daily and Sunday Express
