Liverpool Team News
Liverpool is without a doubt one of the best teams in Europe in recent years. They won the Champions League in the 2018/19 season, the Premier League in the 2019/20 season and in recent years, have always been among the favorites in every competition.
The start of the season did not go well for Liverpool. In the Premier League, they have won only 13 points, and in the Champions League they showed weaknesses, primarily in the match against Napoli. Certainly, Liverpool’s biggest problem in the current part of the season is the performance of the last line, which received 18 goals in 13 games played this season.
Additionally, Luiz Diaz’s injury will certainly affect the game, and Salah was out of shape at the commencement of the season, which also affected the results. However, adding a hat trick in five minutes in the Champions League game, Salah announced better games.
In the last two games, Liverpool has significantly improved the level of play. Firstly, they recorded a 7-1 victory against Glasgow Rangers in the Champion’s League and with their victory over Manchester City at the weekend, declared better results in the coming period as well. Firmino plays great, Nunez has scored two goals in the last three games and Salah performs better and better. Obviously, this attacking zone looks fantastic.
Apart from Luiz Diaz, Diogo Jota is excluded in the attacking zone as well, which could be an issue in Liverpool’s tight schedule. Yet, this will not be a problem in this match as Nunez, Salah and Firmino look amazing. The great news is that Robertson and Alexander Arnold are fit, which is going to have a huge impact on Liverpool’s game.
