How to watch Liverpool vs Bayer Leverkusen live: stream link, TV channel, team news, prediction

Liverpool host Bayer Leverkusen at Anfield on Tuesday, with Arne Slot’s side looking to continue their incredible start to the season.

The Reds are top of the Premier League, perfect in the Champions League with three wins from three and are through to the quarter-finals of the League Cup. Not bad for a few months on the job, Arne. The Dutch coach saw his side came from 1-0 down at home to Brighton this weekend to win 2-1 while Mohamed Salah scored a stunning winning goal to continue his good start to the season.

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

Liverpool team news, focus

Kelleher has played a good role in Alisson since his injury, while Darwin Nunez has been sharp and more involved in the build-up since replacing the injured Jota. Furthermore, Liverpool’s defensive unit is solid, with Tsimikas and Robertson at left-back. Konate could miss the centre-back role as he suffered an arm injury this weekend, which is not serious, but Quansah may start. The midfield trio of Jones, Gravenberch and Szoboszlai have also worked very well together, with Mac Allister coming on to add even more depth. Salah has been sensational in the opening months of the season, with Gakpo, Diaz and Nunez all stepping up at different times to support him.

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

Team news from Bayer Leverkusen, focus

Leverkusen is not panicking yet, but the season has started slowly. They didn’t look that dangerous in attack and they were a bit shaky in defense as Alonso tries to get them going again. After some incredible seasons, this start to the season seems like a failure, but in reality Leverkusen are top of the Champions League and within a few wins of first place in the Bundesliga. All is not lost and this is still an extremely young and talented side, with Boniface and Wirtz so dangerous in attack.

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

Prediction Liverpool-Bayer Leverkusen

This looks to be a fun match as Liverpool take it to Leverkusen and the first 30 minutes are crucial for the German side. Expect a lot of goals and Liverpool will maintain the lead. Liverpool 3-2 Bayer Leverkusen.
