The Merseyside club is enjoying one of their strongest runs this season, with just one loss in the English Premier League. They have also advanced to the League Cup quarter-finals after a solid victory over Brighton.

In the Champions League, Liverpool has won all three of their matches so far and currently sits second in the standings, trailing Aston Villa only on goal difference.

However, Arne Slot will be without experienced goalkeeper Alisson, who remains sidelined due to injury, along with Harvey Elliott, Diogo Jota, and Chiesa. French defender Konate is also a doubt, and his availability for the match remains uncertain.

Xabi Alonso’s season in the Bundesliga hasn’t quite met expectations, with his team currently sitting fourth after a weekend draw against Stuttgart—a match many fans anticipated they would win.

Their Champions League campaign, however, has been solid; with two wins and a draw, they sit comfortably with 7 points and could strengthen their position further by claiming all 3 points against Liverpool.

The German side has no major injury concerns aside from the absences of Mukiele, Amin Adli, and Belocian. Both teams are expected to field strong lineups for the clash.
