It’s quite remarkable how quickly perspectives can shift, with confidence levels significantly improved by consecutive wins against Everton and Newcastle in the English top-flight.
Still, Liverpool’s upcoming meeting with Real Madrid in the Champions League is a challenge like no other, as the Reds will be more than familiar with in light of their recent record against Los Blancos.

Alisson Becker is the man favoured in goal once more, whilst Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez retain their places in the centre-half positions.

Up top, things equally remain unchanged as Cody Gakpo, Darwin Nunez and Mo Salah form a forward line.
