Liverpool vs Atletico Madrid

Liverpool enters this match on a positive note, having secured a win against Ipswich following a series of draws. Their recent form across all competitions shows they have avoided defeat in their last four outings. Atletico Madrid, meanwhile, arrives following a heavy defeat to Athletic Club in La Liga. Before that setback, they had experienced a fluctuating run of results, including a win over Sevilla and a draw against Villarreal.

• Liverpool have six players ruled out including C. Bradley, F. Chiesa, G. Leoni, H. Ekitike, J. Gomez, and W. Endo.
• Atletico Madrid will be without A. Ortiz due to a red card and A. Sorloth due to injury.
• O. Vargas is in doubt for Atletico Madrid following a coach's decision.

Liverpool holds the advantage of playing at home and enters the match on a four-game unbeaten run. While Atletico Madrid has shown they can pick up results on the road, their recent loss against Athletic Club suggests they may face a difficult challenge at Anfield. We expect a competitive match given the European stage.
