RB Leipzig predicted XI vs Liverpool: UEFA Champions League

RB Leipzig will be looking for their first Champions League win in this season’s edition as they host Arne Slot’s Liverpool tonight.

The Saxony club took the lead against both Atletico Madrid and Juventus but ended up on the losing side after conceding in the closing stages, and they will face an equally difficult task tonight against a Liverpool side who have only one has suffered defeat.

They will also be without David Raum, who underwent ankle surgery, so we could see Marco Rose fielding the same team that beat Mainz 2-0 this weekend.

A back three of Lukas Klostermann, Willi Orban and Castello Lukeba with Lutsharel Geertruida and Antonio Nusa would make the most sense here, with a double rotation of Amadou Haidara and Arthur Vermeeren.

Don’t expect Rose to deviate in attack from his attacking trio: Xavi Simons, Loïs Openda and Benjamin Šeško.

Rose also has several options from the bench with Kevin Kampl, Benjamin Henrichs, Christoph Baumgartner and Yussuf Poulsen.

Peter Gulácsi – Lukas Klostermann, Willi Orban, Castello Lukeba – Lutsharel Geertruida, Amadou Haidara, Arthur Vermeeren, Antonio Nusa – Xavi Simons – Loïs Openda, Benjamin Šeško
