How both teams go into AC Milan vs Liverpool
Slot made a perfect start to life at Liverpool, winning his first three Premier League matches without conceding a goal. That included a 3-0 victory over Manchester United at Old Trafford before the international break. Ipswich and Brentford also fell to Slot’s Reds.
However, when they returned from the international break, the Reds’ run came to an end. The were beaten 1-0 by Nottingham Forest at Anfield on Saturday, ending a long unbeaten home run against their fellow Reds. Slot has also lost all three of his away games in the Champions League, in the group stage with Feyenoord last season.
AC Milan, meanwhile, have experienced the opposite. The Rossoneri started the new season in disappointing fashion, with Paulo Fonseca suffering in his opening few matches in charge. AC Milan drew two and lost one of their opening three league games before the international break.
But they finally got their first win of the season at the weekend. It was a comfortable victory too, as Venezia fell 4-0 at the San Siro with Tammy Abraham getting off the mark. AC Milan are also unbeaten in their last four Champions League games against English opposition, taking four points off Newcastle United last season.

AC Milan are suffering slightly with injuries, and Alessandro Florenzi, Ismael Bennacer and Marco Sportiello remain long-term absentees.
