Liverpool aims to maintain its perfect record in the UEFA Champions League season when it welcomes the defending champions Real Madrid to Anfield for the highlight fixture of the matchweek.
Arne Slot has only lost once in his first 18 games in charge of the Reds, building an impressive eight point gap atop the Premier League, playing some of the best soccer in the world so far this season. This week certainly is the most difficult in Slot's Liverpool career thus far, with Real Madrid and Manchester City coming to Anfield to test the resolve of the EPL leaders.
Real Madrid has become somewhat of a nightmare for Liverpool in the Champions League. The Reds come into this game with an eight game winless streak against Los Blancos, including two painful defeats in the UCL final in 2018 and 2022. The last time Liverpool beat the European champions was back in 2009.
Slot will be without several key players like Diogo Jota, Allison Becker and he confirmed that although he's in the squad, Trent-Alexander Arnold wont be available to start in this clash between European giants.
Here's how Liverpool could lineup against Real Madrid at Anfield.
