How both teams go into Liverpool vs Lille

Liverpool have endured a rare blip in the last couple of matches, drawing 2-2 at home to Manchester United before losing 1-0 away at Spurs in the EFL Cup — although the latter was, of course, only the first leg of their semi-final. However, the Reds are top of the Champions League table with a 100% record after six games and just one goal conceded. They’re already assured of a place in the knockout rounds and now it’s just a case of making sure they stay in the top eight.

Lille currently occupy that eighth spot with 13 points on the board. They beat Sturm Graz 3-2 in their last continental match and host Feyenoord after this one, so they’ll still feel quite bullish about their top-eight chances.

Joe Gomez will remain sidelined for this match but Dominik Szoboszlai should be back in action well in advance.

Lille team news

Edon Zhegrova, Nabil Bentaleb, Samuel Umtiti and Mathias Fernandez-Pardo will all remain sidelined for this match, but Ethan Mbappe could return to action. Tiago Santos is out for the season.
