Liverpool have had the perfect start to life as reigning Premier League champions this season, winning all 4 of their Premier League games, including a 1-0 victory against title contenders, Arsenal. After a dramatic summer transfer window where Liverpool bought in Alexander Isak for a record British transfer fee, amongst other big-money signings such as Hugo Ekitike, Jeremie Frimpong and Milos Kerkes, the red's have picked up exactly where they left off. Arne Slot will be hoping that his new arsenal of players can help his team get over the line in Europe's most elite competition this season, after a gut-wrenching defeat to PSG in last season's campaign saw the French side go onto win the entire competition.
On the eve of his 14th year in charge of the club, Simeone's Atletico Madrid have been within touching distance of the Champions League on multiple occasions during his tenure, with this competition being the only that illudes him. After a busy summer transfer window, Atletico have seen a high turnover of players, adding in some real quality to their squad with the likes of Alex Baena, David Hackno and Johnny Cardoso. However, despite the injection of quality Atletico have managed to get through the door this summer, the start of their season has left a lot to be desired. The Rojiblancos currently sit 11th in La Liga and failed to win any of their first three game. Simeone will be hoping that their recent victory over Villerreal will be the catalyst to get their season up and running as they travel to the North-West of England this Wednesday.
