Liverpool Form

Liverpool started the season with a disappointing result in the Community Shield. They took the lead twice against Crystal Palace but were unable to close it out, the game ending in a 2-2 draw before they lost the penalty shootout.

The Reds have won all four games in the Premier League, two late goals securing a 4-2 win against Bournemouth before Rio Ngumoha’s 99th minute strike securing a 3-2 victory at Newcastle.

Arne Slot’s side left it late again against Arsenal, Dominik Szoboszlai netting the winner in the 83rd minute. They were frustrated at Burnley on Saturday, Mohamed Salah’s added time penally giving them a 1-0 win, ending the contest with 81% possession and 27-3 shots.

Atletico Madrid Form

Atletico Madrid have been below their best this season, starting with a 2-1 defeat at Espanyol where Julián Alvarez’s goal gave them a 1-0 half-time lead.

Diego Simeone’s side drew 1-1 against Elche and at Deportivo Alaves, ending each match with 6-2 shots on target.

Atletico registered their first victory on Saturday, beating Villarreal 2-0 at the Metropolitano. It was a game of few chances, Pablo Barrios and Nico Gonzalez netting the goals.

Verdict

Liverpool v Atletico Madrid

Liverpool have left it late to win all four matches in the Premier League. Atletico Madrid have been below their best but can be a tough nut to crack, home advantage to see the Reds through in the Champions League.
