I've got a feeling that you're one of the many looking to live stream Leicester vs Liverpool today. One of the big matchups of this Boxing Day (Dec. 26 in the U.K.), this outing sees the Leicester squad looking to upset Liverpool, one of the three teams to hand them a loss this season. 

Of course, that won't be an easy task. While Liverpool's got four confirmed out with injuries (Clyne, Matip, Fabinho and Lovren) and two that are still unconfirmed (Brewster and Oxlade-Chamberlain both also with injuries) it's still got the momentum going into the matchup. Liverpool just won on Saturday, in extra time against Flamengo in Qatar, in the FIFA Club World Cup (1-0), while Leicester fell 3-1 against Man City. 

Oh, and Leicester's tracking the health of midfielder Harvey Barnes, after an ankle issue arose in the game against Man City (that broke Leicester's hot streak).

Last time they met, Liverpool took the win, 2-1. Looking at the clubs' history, Liverpool's got a ratio of 2 wins to 1 loss, having taken 14 wins while Leicester took 7 (they drew 6).

Liverpool goes into this matchup with two consecutive Premier League wins at Leicester, but the team's never stacked up three victories against Leicester in a row. Can Liverpool set a new record or will Leicester sneak a win away? We'll know once we start live streaming Leicester vs Liverpool, which U.K. audiences can do on Amazon Prime Instant Video.

Leicester v Liverpool LIVE STREAM Start Time

The big game happening at King Power Stadium starts 8.00pm GMT local time today (Dec. 26), which is 3:00pm Eastern and Noon Pacific in the US — so everyone can watch it on both sides of the Atlantic. Those in Australia needed to set an alarm for the 7:00am AEDT start time.

How can I use a VPN to watch Premier League matchups no matter where I go?

We've got about 5 months until May 2020 when Premier League season play concludes, and I don't know many who will always be home for each important fixture. Fortunately, you can stay on top of Premier League action when they're outside the U.S. can always turn to a virtual private network, or VPN. With a VPN in place, you can appear to be surfing the web from your home country, letting you access the same streaming services, even if you're in another region.

Not sure which VPN is right for you? We've tested many different services and our pick for the best VPN overall is ExpressVPN. It offers superb speeds and excellent customer service. But you've got other VPN options as well. Here are our top picks.

ExpressVPN:

ExpressVPN: We think the speed, security and simplicity make ExpressVPN second to none. During our tests, we saw fast connection times, and we're impressed by the service's ability to access more than 3,000 services spread out across 160 locations in 94 countries.

One month of service at ExpressVPN costs $12.95, but you can lower that to $6.67 a month if you opt for a year of service, with ExpressVPN throwing in three additional months for free. There's a 30-day money-back guarantee if you're not satisfied.
