Leicester City midfielder Youri Tielemans says facing Liverpool today will be a mental test.

Tielemans believes his Foxes side will have to be mentally tough in their next match.

A win for Liverpool is vital after City extended their lead at the top of the Premier League with that thumping victory over Leicester.

"It's very hard," Tielemans said in the Foxes' matchday programme for the Liverpool clash.

"We will have to run a lot, because they (Liverpool) are all about intensity, pressing and counter pressing.

“It's very hard to play against them. You have to find the spaces and be mentally tough.

“We know that, against teams like Liverpool, you're not going to get many chances in the game.

"If we do get one, you have to be efficient and hopefully we will keep a cool head to finish our chances and make the best out of this game."
