Liverpool host Bayer Leverkusen at Anfield on Tuesday and Arne Slot’s side will look to maintain their incredible start to the season.

The Reds are leaders of the Premier League, perfect in the Champions League with three wins out of three and are qualified for the quarterfinals of the League Cup. Not bad for a few months at work, Arne. The Dutch coach saw his side come back from 1-0 down at home to Brighton at the weekend to win 2-1 Mohamed Salah scored a stunning winning goal to continue his excellent start to the season.

Leverkusen’s start to the season has been less impressive, with the reigning German champions trailing leaders Bayern Munich by seven points. They drew against Stuttgart at the weekend and have drawn four of their nine games so far in the Bundesliga, but are unbeaten in the Champions League with seven points from their first three games, having surprisingly drawn in Brest last time out. This will be an emotional night for former Liverpool midfielder Xabi Alonso when he returns to Anfield and many believed he was the favorite to replace Jurgen Klopp in the summer.

Liverpool team news, focus

Kelleher has filled in nicely for Alisson since his injury, while Darwin Nunez has been more alert and more involved in the build-up to the game since replacing the injured Jota up top. Aside from that, Liverpool’s defensive unit is solid with Tsimikas and Robertson rotating at left back. Konate could miss out at centre-back as he suffered a non-serious arm injury at the weekend, but Quansah may start. The midfield trio of Jones, Gravenberch and Szoboszlai have also worked well together, with Mac Allister rotating to add more depth. Salah has been sensational in the first few months of the season with Gakpo, Díaz and Núñez stepping up to support him at different times.

OUT: Alisson (hamstring), Diogo Jota (chest), Federico Chiesa (other), Harvey Elliott (ankle) | QUESTIONABLE: Ibrahima Konate (arm)

Bayer Leverkusen team news, focus

Leverkusen are not panicking yet, but it has been a slow start to the season. They haven’t looked as dangerous in attack and have looked a little shaky in defense as Alonso tries to get them going again. After some incredible seasons, this start to the season feels like a relegation, but in reality Leverkusen are up in the Champions League and just a few wins away from first place in the Bundesliga. All is not lost and this is still an extremely young and talented team with Boniface and Wirtz very dangerous in attack.

OUT: Amine Adli (broken leg), Jeanuel Belocian (ankle), Nordi Mukiele (hip) | QUESTIONABLE: Martin Terrier (hit)

Liverpool vs Bayer Leverkusen Prediction
