Liverpool couldn’t have asked for a better successor to Jürgen Klopp than Arne Slot. The Dutchman has tailored his approach to the squad’s needs, and the Reds are leading the title race in the Premier League, with an 8-point lead over title defenders Manchester City.
The Reds defeated Southampton (3-2), while Manchester City suffered a heavy 0-4 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur. Liverpool’s defensive vulnerabilities were evident, but Mohamed Salah secured the win with a converted penalty in the 83rd minute.
Salah has also made headlines in the last few days and weeks due to the possible extension of his contract with Liverpool. He arrived in 2017, and his contract is set to expire in June 2025.
He claimed on Sunday that he has still yet to hear from Liverpool, expressing his frustration: “It looks as if I’m more out than in.” At 32, some fans question whether the club should agree to a contract extension given his high wages, despite him remaining the team’s top scorer.
Alisson, Harvey Elliott, Diogo Jota, and Federico Chiesa are sidelined due to injuryTrent Alexander-Arnold is back in training with Reds ahead of the game against Real Madrid.

A calm week is rare for Madrid. Despite winning against Leganés (0-3), Real Madrid will be far from happy.
Vinicius Jr is set to miss approximately three weeks, including the match against Liverpool at Anfield. Kylian Mbappé scored against Leganés, but fans remain critical of his performances, as he has found it difficult to integrate into Real Madrid’s dynamics.
Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez stirred controversy with his claim that Vinicius Jr. would have won the Ballon d’Or if journalists from smaller countries hadn’t voted.
This bizarre statement stirred controversy on X, particularly as Pérez argued that the population of countries should be relevant to the weight of the votes, taking India as an example.
Los Blancos need to win the tie at Anfield without Vinicius. They have already lost two out of their four UCL encounters against Lille (1-0) and Milan (1-4).
Alongside Vinicius Jr, Dani Carvajal, Aurélien Tchouaméni, Rodrygo, Éder Militão and David Alaba will also be sidelined.

In the past, the two teams gave football fans one of the most memorable clashes known to mankind. The 2018 Champions League Final, featuring Cristiano Ronaldo’s bicycle kick and Salah’s injury after a collision with Sergio Ramos remains to date one of the competition’s most memorable events in the last years.
The two teams have met 11 times previously, with seven matches ending in a Real Madrid victory, while the Reds only won three encounters. They also share one draw.
The two teams last met in March 2023 in the Santiago Bernabéu. The match ended in a 1-0 Real Madrid victory, with Karim Benzema scoring the only goal in the 78th minute.
Liverpool’s last victory against Real Madrid dates back to 2009, when the Reds outclassed Real Madrid (4-0). Steven Gerrard scored a double while Fernando Torres scored the first goal, and Andrea Dossena scored the fourth.
Mohamed Salah is expected to be the offensive leader at Anfield on Wednesday, as he’s been the most consistent forward in Arne Slot’s first season.
The Egyptian King has registered ten goals and six assists in only six games so far, making him the team’s best goalscorer so far. There are few games where he hasn’t been the most important attacker.
While Vinicius Jr’s absence can feel damning for Real Madrid, this may be a blessing in disguise for Kylian Mbappé. The Frenchman has struggled so far, as his preferred zones happen to be those where Vinicius Jr plays. There won’t be many games where Ancelotti will field Mbappé on the left wing.
This is his now-or-never moment to prove to Real Madrid fans this was the issue. Targeting the right-back with his 1v1 expertise and unique pace should be what Ancelotti will expect from Mbappé’s presence.
With Trent Alexander-Arnold back in training, Anfield could witness a more attacking plan. His involvement in possession and creative value would allow Arne Slot to open the game up.
However, if no risks will be taken, a more direct Liverpool is expected. It can be argued that this could benefit Kylian Mbappé, but this is where Virgil Van Dijk is likely to help his teammates. The midfield battle will be crucial, with Liverpool holding the edge due to their more creative players.
However, the athletic side of the game will force Liverpool to be more restrictive in the attack, as unfinished chances could end in devastating counter-attacks, as seen against Southampton last weekend. A boiling Anfield should allow Liverpool to dominate the game, especially as Vinicius Jr will be out.
Liverpool has never had a better opportunity to improve their poor record against Real Madrid. Los Blancos suffer key injuries in the attack and defence, which opens up chances for the Reds. Anfield’s renowned electric atmosphere could prove decisive.
Liverpool can count on a more dynamic midfield, which should be a determining factor in the encounter. It’s unlikely to see a clean sheet from either side because both teams suffer in the defence.
Two excellent goalkeepers will be guarding the goals – Courtois is known to be the man to save all types of shots, while Kelleher has seamlessly stepped in for Alisson.
There has never been a better game for Salah. He can prove to Liverpool why he deserves a new contract as he goes up against Ferland Mendy.
Known for his defensive solidity, Mendy has faced fan criticism over the past year for his lack of ambition in possession, which has often isolated Vinicius Jr. Salah can also profit from Éder Militão’s absence, which paves the way for his attacks down the wing and will likely see him on the scoresheet.
