Arne Slot’s side sit top of the pile in Europe after a stunning season thus far, having smashed Bayer Leverkusen 4-0 last time out in this competition.

This, however, will offer arguably their biggest test yet. Madrid haven’t always convinced but are the European champions after all and generally turn on the style for big nights in this particular tournament.

That said, Carlo Ancelotti’s side sit some way off the automatic spots as things stand, having already lost twice in the opening phase and were beaten by AC Milan earlier this month, and will have to do without an injured Viniciur Jr.

Liverpool vs Real Madrid is scheduled for an 8pm GMT kick-off time tonight on Wednesday, November 27, 2024.

Liverpool vs Real Madrid team news

Trent Alexander-Arnold missed the win at Southampton with a hamstring injury but he has now returned to training and is pushing to make the squad on Wednesday night.

Alisson Becker is still sidelined with a similar problem and Diogo Jota has a chest injury, while Kostas Tsimikas will miss out due to an ankle problem. Federico Chiesa is nearing a return to fitness but this match is expected to come too soon.

Real Madrid have been handed a huge Vinicius Jr injury blow ahead of the game, with the forward picking up a leg injury.

Otherwise, they hope to have Lucas Vazquez available after injury, but Rodrygo and Aurelien Tchouameni are among those who remain out. Arda Guler and Dani Ceballos started against Leganes and will hope to keep their places.
