Match Preview
Arne Slot has made a near perfect start to life at Liverpool, with his only blemish coming in the form of a home defeat against Nottingham Forest. The Reds have won each of their two matches in the Champions League to this point.
However, the pressure will be on RB Leipzig this week, as their chances of progression in the competition appear to be fading. The German side has suffered defeats in each of their two opening matches.
This will be the third clash between the two sides. Liverpool previously claimed 2-0 wins in both legs of the round of 16 stage in the 2020-21 Champions League.

Leipzig will also need to improve their recent record against English sides after losing six of their last eight. Across their last ten matches, Leipzig have conceded a staggering 32 goals overall. Meanwhile, Liverpool have won seven of their last ten matches against German sides.
The pressure will be on Leipzig this week, as they remain winless despite having opened the scoring in each of their last two matches in the Champions League. No side has ever scored the opening goal and suffered three successive defeats in the competition.
Liverpool will be looking to continue their excellent record of quick starts in the Champions League after previously winning each of their three matches across the opening matchdays in the 2020-21 and 2021-22 seasons.
