All eyes will be on Trent Alexander-Arnold going into Tuesday evening\u2019s Champions League clash between Liverpool <\/a>and Real Madrid.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The England international returns to his former club for the first time since his summer switch, with the two teams meeting at Anfield (8pm kick-off – live on Amazon Prime).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Three points separate the two sides going into this League format fixture, with Liverpool looking for a repeat of last season\u2019s 2-0 victory over the Spanish giants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Real Madrid though have won their last six in all competitions ahead of their trip to Merseyside, with just one goal conceded in their first three European games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Liverpool predicted lineup vs Real Madrid<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Liverpool <\/strong>(4-3-3)<\/em>: Mamardashvili; Bradley, Konate, van Dijk, Robertson; Gravenberch, Mac Allister, Szoboszlai; Salah, Ekitike, Gakpo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Liverpool team news vs Real Madrid<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Arne Slot looks set to name an unchanged starting XI from the side that got back to winning ways on Saturday, when they beat Aston Villa 2-0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Reds boss admits he is still without three key players due to injury, with Alisson Becker, Jeremie Frimpong and Alexander Isak still sidelined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All three sat out the Villa game and Slot suggested the trio will still be missing when his team head to Manchester City this Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Curtis Jones is another injury absentee, but Ryan Gravenberch came through the Villa game unscathed after his recent knock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Summer signings Florian Wirtz and Milos Kerkez are expected to start on the bench, alongside the likes of Federico Chiesa and Rio Ngumoha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Slot giving Wirtz time to blossom<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of the big talking points surrounding Liverpool has been the form, or the lack of, \u00a3100million summer signing Florian Wirtz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The former Bayer Leverkusen star has struggled to make an impact and is still looking for his first Liverpool goal, as we head into November.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His manager has taken him out of the firing line in recent weeks, in the hope that the German will respond with some confidence boosting displays off the bench.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Slot has defended Wirtz and the start he has made, saying in the pre-match press conference: “For a player to come from a different league, which is a very good league but the Premier League is a bit more intense so if you look at that, he has played a lot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“He has had an impact in many games but he has been unlucky with the end product, whether him or other players. He has brought what we expected, a player that can contribute a lot for the team, he will have his goals as well.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Slot went on to add: “If you’re 22 or 23 and come from a different league you need some time to adapt to the intensity if you play every two or three days.”<\/p>\n\n\n
