The Reds have been dealt a mixed bag on the European front during Arne Slot’s first season in charge at Anfield. Having lost to Nottingham Forest in surprise fashion on Saturday, the pressure is on the first time since replacing Jurgen Klopp.

A trip to San Siro is a difficult start, while Real Madrid are also due to visit Anfield in the revamped first phase of Europe’s elite club competition. So too are German champions Bayer Leverkusen, with a certain Xabi Alonso in charge.

Games against Bologna, RB Leipzig, Girona, Lille and PSV are perhaps more favourable but Slot will be keen to get things off to a positive start in Milan this week.

Here’s everything you need to know about the game.

Date, kick-off time and venue

AC Milan vs Liverpool is scheduled for an 8pm kick-off time on Tuesday 17 September, 2024.

AC Milan vs Liverpool team news

Ismael Bennacer, Alessandro Florenzi and Marco Sportiello are all missing for the hosts. Malick Thiaw is a doubt, along with Davide Calabria.

Harvey Elliott has been ruled out of action for around a month due to a fractured foot. Federico Chiesa has not made his debut yet, so it’ll be interesting to see whether or not he’s included in Tuesday’s squad.

AC Milan vs Liverpool prediction

Paulo Fonseca has struggled during the early stages of his tenure at Milan despite a big win over Venezia, so Liverpool should feel confident despite the Forest loss.

Liverpool to win, 2-0.
