by hosting Bayer Leverkusen at Anfield (8pm GMT). The Reds are striving to achieve their fourth consecutive European victory, which will bring them closer to a top-eight finish in the new league format. The return of Anfield legend Xabi Alonso to L4 will be eagerly anticipated by supporters who are attending the match. Liverpool was the site of the

Spaniard’s five-year playing career, during which he was renowned for his assistance in the club’s 2005 Champions League victory. However, there will be minimal space for sentiment when the confrontation commences. Arne Slot, the head coach of the Reds, is concerned about the potential threat that Leverkusen poses. The team secured its

first Bundesliga title last season by failing to lose a single game. However, Liverpool is in excellent form and currently holds the lead in the Premier League table following a 2-1 victory over Brighton & Hove Albion. However, Slot has a significant match against Aston Villa on Saturday, which presents him with a plethora of decisions to make regarding his starting lineup. He will once again be deprived of Diogo Jota, Alisson Becker, Federico Chiesa, and Harvey Elliott due to injury.

Given all of the aforementioned, the Liverpool team that is anticipated to face Leverkusen is as follows. GK – Caoimhin Kelleher He is about to experience his first Champions League encounter under the lights in front of a crowd at Anfield, as Alisson Becker remains injured. RB – Trent Alexander-Arnold In recent weeks, the vice-captain has performed exceptionally well in his defensive responsibilities; however, he will once again face a formidable Leverkusen offence. CB – Joe GomezUpon Ibrahima Konate’s substitution at halftime during the match against Brighton, Liverpool’s long-serving player performed exceptionally well. Konate may not be at risk immediately, and Gomez, in reality, deserves to maintain his position following a sensational

performance. CB – Virgil van Dijk The Reds captain has been in exceptional form this season, and supporters are eager to see him sign a new contract. LB – Kostas Tsimikas After his performance against Brighton, the Greece international has made substantial defensive improvements this term and deserves to maintain his position. CM – Wataru Endo

In his most recent cameos, he has performed exceptionally well, effectively eliminating peril and maintaining a composed demeanour. Slot is of the opinion that this may be necessary in order to defeat

Leverkusen. CM – Ryan Gravenberch Is still one of the first names on the club, but he could potentially play a little further forward. Alexis Mac Allister appeared somewhat fatigued over the weekend and could benefit from a break. CM – Curtis JonesThe cryptic remark made by Liverpool’s talisman following his goal against Brighton has sparked a lot of conversation. Nevertheless, Salah will remain resolute in his commitment to deliver another exceptional performance. ST – Darwin Nunez

Almost achieved a moment of individual brilliance against Brighton, and his relentless will is essential. LW – Cody Gakpo Participated in the match against Brighton and significantly contributed to the team’s victory by providing assistance. Jones is providing a greater degree of goal threat than Dominik Szoboszlai in the No. 10 position. RW – Mo Salah
