AC Milan vs Liverpool live score: UEFA Champions League updates, results, highlights and lineups from San Siro

AC Milan vs Liverpool live score: UEFA Champions League updates, results, highlights and lineups from San Siro

Liverpool return to the UEFA Champions League for an exciting first game of the new league format at AC Milan.

In Jürgen Klopp’s final season at Anfield, the club may not have experienced the competition that produced so many of its most famous moments, but the six-time winners comfortably finished in the top four, ensuring Arne Slot begins his Liverpool career in Europe’s top flight.

Three wins in the first three Premier League games at the Dutch stadium came to an abrupt end at the weekend when Nottingham Forest surprised Anfield with a 3-1 victory.

The start of the Paolo Fonseca era in Milan was somewhat turbulent. The 4-0 victory over Venezia at the weekend was the first win in the fourth Serie A attempt this season.

AC Milan vs Liverpool Lineups, team news

Fonseca could remain with the majority of the team that scored four goals against Venezia last weekend. That would mean that the USMNT star Christian Pulisic starts in attack next to Rafael Leao. Alvaro Morata is still working on his recovery from a muscle injury, but La Gazzetta dello Sport reported on Monday that he is expected to play in this match instead of Tammy Abraham.

Fikayo Tomori could come for Matteo Gabbia as a central defender, while Davide Calabria is fit again and will fight for Emerson Royal‘s place as right defender.

Ismael Bennacer has to be out for several weeks due to a calf injury he sustained during the international break. Tijjani Reijnders has found his form in midfield recently and will be hoping to continue that form this week.

Expected AC Milan formation (4-3-3, from right to left): Maignan (TW) – Calabria, Tomori, Pavlovic, Hernandez – Reijnders, Fofana, Loftus-Cheek – Pulisic, Abraham, Leao

Injured: Ismael Bennacer, Alessandro Florenzi, Marco Sportiello, Malick Thiaw
Exposed: None
Not eligible: Luka Jovic

Slot may be tempted to make some changes at Liverpool after the surprise defeat to Forest.

Cody Gakpo And Darwin Nunez hopes to start in attack, while Curtis Jones is fighting for a place in midfield after returning from injury. However, it seems unlikely that he will Ryan Gravenberch, Alexis MacAllister or Dominik Szoboszlai.

The back four should remain unchanged, provided all players survive the regeneration units unscathed.

Liverpool’s expected formation (4-2-3-1, from right to left): Alisson (TW) – Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson – Gravenberch, Mac Allister – Salah, Szoboszlai, Gakpo – Nunez

Injured: Harvey Elliott
