Tijjani Reijnders hints the Milan tactical experiment could be repeated against Liverpool, while he knows Arne Slot well ahead of this Champions League showdown.

It kicks off at San Siro at 20.00 UK time (19.00 GMT).

The tournament has a new and expanded format this season, with 36 teams all placed in the same table, playing eight different opponents.

“It is always fantastic to play in the Champions League and I can’t wait to get started tonight,” Reijnders told Sky Sport Italia.

New Milan role for Reijnders

He was used as a trequartista in the Number 10 role during the 4-0 victory over Venezia at the weekend, with Ruben Loftus-Cheek dropping into midfield.

Both are in the starting line-up again this evening, so will they be switching places once more?

“After a long time, I played as a 10 at Milan. It went well, I found spaces between the lines and felt good after the match.”

Liverpool are just starting under a new coach too, with Dutch tactician Arne Slot trying to get his ideas drilled into the Premier League side after years of Jurgen Klopp’s approach.

Reijnders knows him better than most, having worked with Slot at AZ Alkmaar.

“He is a very strong coach tactically, he had a fantastic move to Liverpool and I am very happy to see him this evening.”
