"Getting the 2025/26 campaign underway with an action-packed 4-2 victory against Bournemouth, it is no secret that the Reds are pencilled in as a standout contender to defend their Premier League title this time around. Marking their return from September's international break with a last-gasp 1-0 victory away at top-flight returners Burnley, Liverpool have won all of their first four domestic appearances."
"While summer recruit Milos Kerkez might have been pulled after a horror first-half performance at Turf Moor on Sunday, the former Bournemouth defender should keep his spot from the start. However, missing out over the weekend, Liverpool are once again sweating over the fitness of England international Curtis Jones. Completing what was a blockbuster Deadline Day switch from Newcastle, Alexander Isak should make his Anfield debut on Wednesday night. Hungarian skipper Dominik Szoboszlai could once again start at right-back ahead of Conor Bradley."
Liverpool secured a record-breaking 20th domestic crown last season and have risen under manager Arne Slot. Liverpool began 2025/26 with a 4-2 win over Bournemouth and a last-gasp 1-0 victory at Burnley, winning all four opening domestic matches. Slot prioritizes a strong Champions League start at Anfield. Milos Kerkez is expected to retain his place despite a poor half, while Curtis Jones faces a fitness concern. Alexander Isak, signed from Newcastle, should debut. Dominik Szoboszlai may feature at right-back ahead of Conor Bradley. Atletico Madrid earned a 2-0 home win over Villarreal but started the season with a 2-1 defeat to Espanyol.
