Next, the Reds will take on Bayer Leverkusen in the UEFA Champions League at Anfield on Tuesday, November 5.
The Reds have earned nine points from three games in the Champions League. They beat AC Milan, Bologna, and RB Leipzig. Meanwhile, Bayer Leverkusen have secured seven points from three games, having beaten Milan and SV Elversberg and drawing against Brest. As such, this clash could be interesting as both teams have not tasted defeat in the Champions League this season.
One player whose presence in attack could be key for the Reds is Salah. He has scored eight goals and registered seven assists in 14 games for Liverpool across competitions this season. He’s scored one goal and provided two assists in three Champions League games.
He is one of Liverpool’s most in-form players at the moment. Salah’s attacking intuition could help the Reds in unlocking Bayer Leverkusen’s defense, and this could improve their likelihood of winning the game.
