Atleti, still with the wound from the Julián case wide open, visit a Liverpool side that is beginning the Iraola era in serious difficulty.

Simeone, in his 14th consecutive season in charge of the red-and-white club, wants to make defeat costly today despite the poor result against Athletic last weekend.

Today at Anfield, these are the confirmed lineups:

Liverpool: Alisson; Araujo, Jacquet, Van Dijk, Kerkez; Szoboszlai, Mac Allister; Ngumoha, Wirtz, Barcola; Isak.

Barcola starts.

Atleti: Oblak; Llorente, Hancko, Pubill, Romero; Koke, Barrios, Álex Baena, Kang In, Giuliano and Julián Álvarez.

Simeone makes three changes. Cuti Romero makes his Champions League debut, Koke regains his place in the double pivot instead of Hjulmand, and Julián Álvarez comes in as the main striker in place of Lookman.
