Ryan Gravenberch returned in the 2-0 win over Aston Villa but Alexander Isak is unavailable due to a groin injury that has disrupted his start to his Liverpool career. Alisson Becker remains out.
Arne Slot made several changes to his side on Saturday – with Hugo Ekitike the only new signing named in his starting side – and the Liverpool head coach could stick with that as he looks to build some consistency. Trent Alexander-Arnold was an unused substitute in Real Madrid’s 4-0 win over Valencia on Saturday and is not guaranteed to start having only recently returned from a hamstring injury that interrupted his first few weeks at the club.
Real Madrid have injury problems elsewhere in defence, however, with Dani Carvajal, Antonio Rudiger and David Alaba all currently sidelined. Possible line-upsLiverpool XI: Mamardashvili, Bradley, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Gravenberch, Mac Allister, Szoboszlai; Salah, Ekitike, Gakpo Real Madrid XI: Courtois; Valverde, Militao, Huijsen, Mendy; Tchouameni, Camavinga, Guler; Bellingham, Mbappe, Vinicius Jr Prediction Liverpool turned a corner with the win over Villa, but this will really show how Slot has refined his side, particularly the midfield.
There should be goals here and we’ll settle on a 2-2 draw.More aboutReal MadridTrent Alexander-ArnoldChampions LeagueXabi AlonsoJoin our commenting forumJoin thought-provoking conversations, follow other Independent readers and see their repliesCommentsMost popularPopular videosBulletinRead next
