"Liverpool have the chance to build on Saturday's much-needed win over Aston Villa - and set down an early marker in the Champions League - when they host Real Madrid tomorrow night. It has been a difficult few weeks for Arne Slot's side, who went into the weekend game on a run of six defeats in seven games in all competitions. There was an element of 'going back to basics' against Villa with only one summer signing, Hugo Ekitike, making the starting XI."
""Let's see [what the reception is]," Van Dijk said. "I'm not going to say [I want a hostile atmosphere]. I'm not going to comment on that. "Do you [the press] want it to be hostile? I think he's been outstanding in his time in Liverpool and that's the only thing I can say. "Have I spoke to him since the move? Not much, no. Nothing personal whatsoever, obviously I live my life and he lives his life in Madrid.""
Liverpool can build on a much-needed win over Aston Villa and aim to set an early Champions League marker when hosting Real Madrid. Arne Slot's side endured six defeats in seven games before the weekend victory. Only one summer signing, Hugo Ekitike, started against Villa as the team reverted to basics. Andy Robertson returned at left-back while Milos Kerkez was omitted. Florian Wirtz was on the bench. Alexander Isak and Jeremie Frimpong were absent through injury. Slot is expected to choose a tried-and-tested lineup. Trent Alexander-Arnold has just returned to full fitness and is likely to start on the bench, with Federico Valverde continuing to fill in at full-back.
