Liverpool are looking for a fourth Uefa Champions League win from four matches as they host Atletico Madrid at Anfield on Tuesday.

Jürgen Klopp’s men are unbeaten since Atlético’s city rivals Real Madrid defeated them back in April, a run spanning 24 fixtures in all competitions. The reverse fixture took place at the Estadio Wanda Metropolitano a fortnight ago, with Liverpool ultimately winning 3-2 via a penalty of from Mohamed Salah.
