Liverpool fc travel to Italy this evening as they take on AC Milan in the first match of their Champions League campaign. A glorious start to the season for new boss Arne Slot hit a severe roadblock on Saturday when the Reds were beaten 1-0 at home to Nottingham Forest in the Premier League and the Dutchman will be hoping to get his team back on track tonight.
The Reds did not qualify for Europe’s top flight last season and stumbled in the Europa League quarter-finals where they were beaten by eventual winners Atalanta. The players, manager and fans will all be hoping for an extended run in the competition this year and signs are mixed on whether Liverpool can ease into the knockout stages.
Facing AC Milan in their opening fixtures perhaps represents a diffcult start but with Real Madrid and Bayer Leverkusen waiting in the wings this is a match where Liverpool should try an assert some authority onto the newly revamped Champions League table.
Follow all the action with our live blog below to see if the Reds can triumph at the San Siro:
