"Liverpool have endured a miserable start to the 2025-26 campaign, sitting ninth in the Premier League table following a run of poor results since the end of September. Indeed, after winning all five of their opening top-flight fixtures, Arne Slot's team have won just two of their last 10 league games, which included a run of four straight defeats. And their fortunes have not altered in Europe, with the Reds 13th in the 36-team standings, with their last Champions League game seeing them thumped 4-1 at home by PSV."
"In the wake of their 3-3 draw with Leeds United at the weekend, Liverpool star Mohamed Salah, who was an unused substitute in that game, gave an explosive post-match interview, suggesting that the club had "thrown him under the bus" during their on-pitch struggles. Salah has since been left out of Liverpool's travelling party for the encounter at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza, further fuelling rumours of a potential Anfield exit in January."
"Inter, meanwhile, are second in Serie A by one point and have won four of their five matches in the Champions League, with the Opta supercomputer handing them a 5% chance of European glory, the seventh-highest figure in their predictions. But when asked if Inter have anything more than their opponents this season, Thuram replied: "I don't think so, each game is an individual episode." "We'll play against a strong team with a lot of champions in their squad. Everyone says it's the right time to face Liverpool, but maybe it isn't.""
Liverpool sit ninth in the Premier League after a poor run since late September, having won only two of their last ten league matches following a 5-0 start. The Reds occupy 13th place in the 36-team Champions League standings and were beaten 4-1 at home by PSV in their most recent European outing. Mohamed Salah gave an explosive post-match interview after the 3-3 draw with Leeds and was omitted from the travelling party to Milan, increasing January exit speculation. Inter are second in Serie A, have four wins from five Champions League games, and Marcus Thuram warned against underestimating Liverpool.
