The Reds are fully engaged in the Premier League title race and are facing some squad issues. After Sunday’s match against Manchester United, the team conceded the top spot to Arsenal and is not in the best morale. Winning in the second most important European competition for Klopp’s proteges is certainly within their capabilities, but it’s unclear what lineup Liverpool will field on Thursday. Let’s see if the German coach will rotate the squad.
Atalanta is going through a rejuvenation of the squad and doesn’t look as formidable as in previous years. Gasperini’s team continues to fight for the Italian Cup and currently sits in sixth place in Serie A. Last weekend, Atalanta unexpectedly lost away to Cagliari, which may indicate the team’s poor form. Undoubtedly, the coach will prepare his team for this match, but against Liverpool’s main lineup, the Italians have few chances.
