After scoring twice on Monday night, Jones has three goals in his previous four games.
Two years to the day after the Foxes' FA Cup victory, Liverpool rolled to a 3-0 victory as Curtis Jones' double sent Leicester dangerously close to being relegated.
The hosts capitulated, leaving them looking at the drop after Trent Alexander-Arnold's stunning goal and the midfielder's brace in the first half gave the visitors an easy victory.

They maintained their lead over United with their seventh straight victory, which was by far the easiest. However, they must continue their current pace and hope that their competitors falter.
However, when Leicester gave up on Monday, there was never any indication that it was a surprise.
The Foxes already had lost Danny Ward, Caglar Soyuncu, and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall to injuries before the game even started.
Due to the grave circumstances, Dean Smith was compelled to hand Jonny Evans his first Premier League start since October.
