Reds host European champions in huge game at Anfield

Liverpool are looking to take a major step toward automatic qualification for the knockout rounds of the Champions League when they host Real Madrid in a heavyweight fixture on Wednesday night.

Arne Slot’s side sit top of the pile in Europe after a stunning season thus far, having smashed Bayer Leverkusen 4-0 last time out in this competition.

This, however, will offer arguably their biggest test yet. Madrid haven’t always convinced but are the European champions after all and generally turn on the style for big nights in this particular tournament.

That said, Carlo Ancelotti’s side sit some way off the automatic spots as things stand, having already lost twice in the opening phase and were beaten by AC Milan earlier this month, and will have to do without an injured Viniciur Jr.

Date, kick-off time and venue

Liverpool vs Real Madrid is scheduled for an 8pm GMT kick-off time on Wednesday, November 27, 2024.

Liverpool vs Real Madrid team news

It's a case of as you were for Liverpool, with Trent Alexander-Arnold unlikely to feature after missing the win at Southampton with a hamstring injury.

He has joined goalkeeper Alisson Becker, who is also still sidelined with a similar problem, Diogo Jota (chest injury) and Federico Chiesa (fitness) in the treatment room.

Real Madrid have been handed a huge Vinicius Jr injury blow ahead of the game, with the forward picking up a leg injury.

Otherwise, they hope to have Lucas Vazquez available after injury, but Rodrygo and Aurelien Tchouameni are among those who remain out. Arda Guler and Dani Ceballos started against Leganes and will hope to keep their places.
