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.
