Latest Liverpool vs Real Madrid squad information
Ryan Gravenberch's return from an ankle injury is great news for Liverpool fans, but Alexander Isak and Curtis Jones continue to be absent due to groin problems, with Slot rating their chances of playing as almost zero.
With just 72 hours between games, the pair are likely to still be absent on Tuesday, while Alisson Becker (hamstring), Giovanni Leoni (anterior cruciate ligament rupture) and Jeremie Frimpong (hamstring) are definitely out.
The decision to leave Florian Wirtz and Milos Kerkez on the bench last weekend proved effective, so Slot is likely to stick with the same side that won against the 15-time European champions, with Alexis Mac Allister and Andy Robertson retained in the starting line-up.
On Real Madrid's side, coach Xabi Alonso will travel to Anfield without his experienced defender trio Dani Carvajal (knee), Antonio Rüdiger (muscle) and David Alaba (calf), of which only Alaba has a small hope of recovering in time.
Carvajal was eligible to return after a Champions League suspension, but due to injury, he will be out of action until 2026. In that context, Trent Alexander-Arnold – who used to play for Liverpool – is likely to be given the chance to start against his former team.
The English full-back has yet to play a minute since recovering from a hamstring injury and has been on the bench for the last two La Liga games. If Alonso decides he is not fit enough, Federico Valverde could be moved back into defence.
Latest expected lineup for Liverpool vs Real Madrid
Liverpool:
Mamardashvili; Bradley, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Gravenberch, Mac Allister; Salah, Szoboszlai, Gakpo; Ekitike
Real Madrid:
Courtois; Alexander-Arnold, Militao, Huijsen, Carreras; Valverde, Tchouameni; Guler, Bellingham, Vinicius Jr; Mbappe
Latest Liverpool vs Real Madrid football commentary
After almost "giving up" on the English League Cup by fielding a squad of young players and reserves against Crystal Palace, coach Arne Slot had to win against Aston Villa in the Premier League last weekend, if he didn't want the rumors about his dismissal to become louder.
The Dutchman was facing the prospect of becoming the first Liverpool manager in history to lose five consecutive Premier League games, but he got a timely response from his players: Mohamed Salah scored his 250th goal for the Reds, before Ryan Gravenberch made it 2-0 with a deflected shot at Anfield.
Although Aston Villa made things difficult for themselves, it must be admitted that Liverpool's individual performances improved significantly. The reigning English champions finally found their smile again, winning their second of their last eight games in all competitions.
Before that, the only victory in that streak was a 5-1 thrashing of Eintracht Frankfurt in the third round of the Champions League, helping Liverpool climb into the top 10 of the group stage standings – just behind the group that qualified directly for the round of 16 on goal difference.
The dominant win over Eintracht followed a defeat to Galatasaray and a 3-2 home win over Atletico Madrid, extending Liverpool's 15-game winning streak in the group/league phase of European competition – a run Real Madrid certainly cannot afford to overlook.
Before Paris Saint-Germain ended Liverpool's European dream last season, the Reds beat Real Madrid 2-0 at Anfield in the group stage, ending an eight-game losing streak against Los Blancos – who had won seven of those.
Interestingly, both Carlo Ancelotti and Xabi Alonso have “fallen” at Anfield in the 2024–26 period — when Alonso was in charge of Bayer Leverkusen, his team lost 4-0. Now, having returned to the Real Madrid captaincy, Alonso is once again heading to his old stadium with a team in top form.
Real have won all three of their Champions League games this season – against Marseille, Kairat and most recently Juventus – and are currently top of La Liga. Following a dramatic win over Barcelona in El Clásico, they thrashed Valencia 4-0 at the weekend.
Real Madrid have won 13 of their 14 games in all competitions this season so far – the only defeat coming in a 2-5 defeat to Atletico Madrid. However, they are still the lowest of the five clubs with nine points after three Champions League games, due to their inferior goal difference.
Paris Saint-Germain, Bayern Munich, Inter Milan and Arsenal all have better goal differences, but fifth-placed Real Madrid are still a team no one dares to underestimate in European competition.
