Liverpool, England – Liverpool FC will be looking too etch their name further into Boxing Day folklore when they host Leicester City at Anfield. A victory would mark the Reds’ 46th win in their 93rd Boxing Day fixture, extending their remarkable home record on the holiday.
The last time Liverpool tasted defeat at Anfield on Boxing Day was back in 1986, when Manchester United snatched a 1-0 victory. Since then, Anfield has been a fortress for the Reds on this special day.
Adding to the intrigue, Liverpool could see a player achieve a rare feat. No Liverpool player has scored a Boxing Day hat-trick since 1963, when legendary striker Roger Hunt bagged four goals against Stoke City in a resounding 6-1 victory.
