These results keep them in the UEFA Champions League places.

Form and Line-up Liverpool
In their last Premier League away match, Liverpool beat Bournemouth 1:0, but they then suffered a heavy 0:3 home defeat to Manchester City. Ryan Gravenberch's sending-off affected the result — the visitors scored all three goals afterwards. The Dutchman will be unavailable for this match. This week, Andoni Iraola's side beat LASK 6:3 in the second round of the UEFA Champions League. Under the Spanish coach, Liverpool look to move the ball forward quickly and regularly use a high press in a basic 4-2-3-1 formation, but this style of play demands a great deal of energy.
- Liverpool's opponents took no more than four corners in 9 of their last 10 Premier League away matches.
- Liverpool had at least four shots on target in 8 of their last 10 Premier League away matches.
- Liverpool's opponents were caught offside at least twice in 8 of their last 10 Premier League away matches.
Probable Liverpool line-up (4-2-3-1): Alisson, Ronald Araújo, Jérémy Jacquet, Virgil van Dijk, Milos Kerkez, Wataru Endo, Alexis Mac Allister, Víctor Muñoz, Florian Wirtz, Bradley Barcola, Lewis Koumas
Unavailable: Ryan Gravenberch (suspended); Hugo Ekitike, Conor Bradley, Giovanni Leoni (injured); Dominik Szoboszlai, Alexander Isak, Cody Gakpo (doubtful)
