    The players take the field!!

    Atletico makes three changes, most of them out of necessity. Galan starts at left back. Koke is rested and Gallagher comes in, while Raspadori replaces Julian Alvarez up front. Sorloth is on the bench.
  • PRVW
    Mac Allister is out with an injury, although he is on the bench, and up front: Gakpo on the left and Salah on the right. Ekitike waits for his turn on the bench.
  • PRVW
    The main news at Liverpool is Isak's debut, something that Arne Slot had already announced would happen today. In addition, Frimpong returns on the right and Robertson on the left.
  • PRVW
    Atletico starting XI: Oblak (GK); Llorente, Le Normand, Lenglet, Javi Galan; Giuliano, Pablo Barrios, Gallagher, Nico Gonzalez; Raspadori, Griezmann.

    We have the confirmed line-ups for both teams! Let's get started!
  • PRVW

  • PRVW
    Liverpool possible starting lineup: Alisson (GK); Frimpong, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Gravenberch, Szoboszlai; Salah, Wirtz, Gakpo; Ekitike.
  • PRVW
    Let's get things warmed up with some possible line-ups for the clash!!
  • PRVW
    Maurizio Mariani will be in the middle for this one, Marco Di Bello the VAR, and Matteo Marcenaro the fourth official.
  • PRVW
    It promises to be an enthralling clash between one of Europe’s most fluid attacks and one of its most disciplined backlines.
  • PRVW
    If Gonzalez does not pass fit, summer signing Conor Gallagher is expected to line up on the left flank in Simeone’s traditional 4-4-2.
  • PRVW
    Jose Gimenez, Alex Baena, and Thiago Almada remain ruled out, stretching Atletico’s squad options in midfield and defence.
  • PRVW
    Midfielder Johnny Cardoso picked up an ankle problem in training, further complicating selection issues for the Spaniards.
  • PRVW
    Julián Alvarez is confirmed absent for Simeone, while doubts linger over Gonzalez, Le Normand, and Hancko.
  • PRVW
    Atletico suffered a frustrating outing against Villarreal, losing four players mid-match to injury concerns.
  • PRVW
    Federico Chiesa is not part of Liverpool's Champions League squad, leaving room for Szoboszlai to shift roles and Frimpong to return at right-back.
  • PRVW
    Alexis Mac Allister is also a doubt after being withdrawn at half-time against Burnley, with Curtis Jones ruled out entirely.
  • PRVW
    Alexander Isak is included in the squad for the Reds but is unlikely to start, as Slot eases his £125 million signing into competitive action.
  • PRVW
    The Merseyside club boast a formidable home record in Europe and will be looking to harness the famous Anfield atmosphere.
  • PRVW
    Slot recently guided Liverpool to another piece of English football history, a reminder of the exciting yet demanding era post-Klopp.
  • PRVW
    Atlético, meanwhile, are still finding their rhythm in La Liga, though Diego Simeone’s team rarely lack resilience on the continental stage.
  • PRVW
    Liverpool have made a flawless start to their Premier League campaign under Arne Slot, arriving in Europe full of confidence.
