Liverpool play hosts to La Liga holders Atletico Madrid on Wednesday night in the group stage fixture list of the Champions League.
Jurgen Klopp’s men will be hoping for a return to winning ways after dropping valuable points in a 2-2 stalemate on home turf against Brighton over the past weekend.
Atletico will prove to be a stern challenge for the Merseysiders with the Spanish outfit walking away with a memorable win on their previous travels to Anfield last year.
For Liverpool who remain unbeaten so far in this new campaign across all competitions, the midweek outing in the Champions League will be one that is eagerly awaited by the fans who hold high expectations of Jordan Henderson and Co.
