Team News

Liverpool
Real Madrid
  • Trent Alexander-Arnold may miss the welcome of Real Madrid due to injury, with Conor Bradley and Joe Gomez battling to deputise if required.
  • Alisson, Federico Chiesa, Harvey Elliott and Diogo Jota are absent.
  • Real Madrid have been dealt a blow with the news that Vinicius Junior is absent for the trip to Liverpool.
  • He joins Aurelien Tchouameni, Thibaut Courtois, David Alaba and Eder Militao on the sidelines, while Rodrygo is a doubt.

Prediction

  • Liverpool came from behind to secure a fifth successive win as they beat Southampton 3-2 on Sunday to go eight points clear at the top of the table.
  • Real Madrid secured a second win on the spin, but victory came at a cost as Vinicius Junior sustained a hamstring injury to rule him out of the trip to Anfield.
  • With issues in defence and attack, Liverpool should maximise home advantage to secure all the spoils in this blockbuster clash.

  • Salah +130 / Mbappe +160 TSA

  • @KingKeno ooooof gotta finish pens Lads

  • Real were Liverpool’s bogey team for the entire Klopp era, today we might find out if that is to change or if Real just have our number

  • my expectation: 2-1(Diaz, Salah / Bellingham) !! Let's gooo!!

  • This is a game only Liverpool could lose because Real Madrid is missing several of its key players and Bellingham is not yet back to his previous top scoring form. Ancelotti's best bet during this game is to lift responsibility from the shoulder of his young players as they might respond with a good game despite of being benched throughout the season (ex. Arda Guler or Brahim Diaz are such players). But that is a big if, and Liverpool has no reason to hold back at home, especially that they know that Real Madrid will basically play with second string players. Nevertheless, I have seen Liverpool play poorly under Klopp for no reason (other than being weak mentally), so I am curious how this new coach fares in the area of motivating its team and strengthening them mentally.

  • @Zoltan We should just accept the fact that Ancelotti is the coach without any tactics and only wins by luck because he has all the best world-class players. Any decent coach would have won with the current Real squad.

  • @Zoltan " Liverpool has no reason to hold back at home" If nothing else they have to hold back because of Mbappe. I don't really like him or his transfer to RM, but i doubt there is more dangerous player on counter these days.

  • Penalti a favor del Madrid for sure

  • 4-1

  • I don't know why, but I can't back Liverpool here.

  • @Ewerfekt Too bad Mbappe decided to back them.

  • Several corners over 9.5 fouls first half

  • Real Madrid will win again.

  • never against madrid. Liverpool dont need point and they have a match against city

  • @Mojje One must be a looser to be afraid of any team lead by Fraudiola! LOL

  • BTTS / O2.5

  • I hate both but i think Madrid will win for sure

  • Liverpool win

  • Liverpool by one

  • Home team to win!

  • Over 2.5 goals

  • Real Madrid forward Vinicius Jr will miss his side's Champions League game against Liverpool after sustaining a hamstring injury.Vinicius Jr could miss 3 to 4 weeks of action.

  • OVER 1.5 FIRST HALF GOALS
