Real Madrid will travel to England to face Premier League champions Liverpool at Anfield for Matchday 4 of the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday. Madrid have won their last six games in a row in all competitions, most recently drubbing Valencia 4-0 at home in La Liga action on Saturday. The win allowed Los Blancos to keep their lead at the top of the league table, four points ahead of FC Barcelona, who they beat in El Clasico last weekend. The Spanish giants are also perfect in Champions League play so far this campaign, winning all three of their games to date. They defeated Juventus 1-0 at the Santiago Bernabeu on Matchday 3. Xabi Alonso's group are fifth in the UCL league phase standings, tied on points with the four teams ahead of them, but behind on goal differentiel (+7). Liverpool, meanwhile, have lost six of their last eight games in all competitions, but will hope to get back on their feet after a convincing 2-0 win over Aston Villa over the weekend. Despite the skid, the Reds are still third in the Premier League table, tied with Bournemouth on 18 points and just one point behind Manchester City. Liverpool trounced Eintracht Frankfurt 5-1 last time out in the Champions League, and sit 10th in the standings with six points through three games. Real Madrid and Liverpool have faced each other on 12 previous occasions, with the Spaniards winning seven of them and Liverpool claiming four. The Scousers won the last contest 2-0 just last year, but failed to win the previous eight games before then — including the 2017-18 Champions League final.

Liverpool Team News and Predicted Lineup Arne Slot's side should feel confident heading into Tuesday's clash following a good result against Villa over the weekend. The Dutchman's decision to bench Milos Kerkez and Florian Wirtz paid off, as Alexis Mac Allister and Andy Robertson put up great performances that should see their place in the starting 11 confirmed against Real Madrid. With Alexander Isak a major doubt to feature as he continues to deal with a groin injury, expect Hugo Ekitike to start as the lone striker, flanked by Mohamed Salah and Cody Gakpo. Giorgi Mamardashvili will be in between the sticks with Alisson still on the mend. Liverpool predicted lineup (4-2-3-1): Giorgi Mamardashvili (GK) – Conor Bradley, Ibrahima Konate, Virgil Van Dijk, Andy Robertson –Ryan Gravenberch, Alexis Mac Allister – Mohamed Salah, Dominik Szoboszlai, Cody Gakpo – Hugo Ekitike. Real Madrid Team News and Predicted Lineup Trent Alexander-Arnold will make his big return to Anfield on Tuesday, this time donning the royal white of Real Madrid. The English right-back has missed significant time this season through injury, but is slated to start against his boyhood club with Dani Carvajal set to miss the next few weeks. Xabi Alonso's backline has had bad luck on the injury front so far this season, but the Madrid boss will have Dean Huijsen and Eder Militao to call upon at center-back. Aurelien Tchouameni has had a brilliant campaign so far, and should be joined by Federico Valverde in a midfield double pivot. Kylian Mbappé, Vinicius Jr. and Jude Bellingham will be the main goal threats in attack against a Liverpool defense that has shown to be shaky in recent weeks.
