Liverpool return to Champions League action on Wednesday when they host Atlético Madrid in their opening league phase encounter of the campaign.
The Reds have tasted victory in all four of their Premier League games this season but have required late winners to avoid slip-ups against Bournemouth, Newcastle United, Arsenal and Burnley. The reigning champions now turn their attention to their first continental battle since March.
Atléti will pose a significant challenge despite their stuttering start to the season, with Diego Simeone’s side renowned for their mastery of the dark arts and their ability to thrive in hostile environments.
Arne Slot will require a convincing performance from his team but has several selection headaches ahead of Atléti’s visit.
