Liverpool XI vs Atletico Madrid: Expected lineup, confirmed team updates, and latest injury news for the Champions League.

Alexander Isak may make a highly anticipated debut in the significant Anfield clash.

Liverpool begins their Champions League journey by hosting Atletico Madrid at Anfield this evening.

The Reds are performing well this season, having won all four of their Premier League matches thus far, and they aim to improve upon their previous continental performance, where they were eliminated by Paris Saint-Germain in the round of 16.

Arne Slot’s team faces Atletico for the first time since 2021, when they met twice in the previous Champions League group stage format.

On both occasions, the English team triumphed, defeating their Spanish rivals 2-0 at Anfield and 3-2 at the Wanda Metropolitano.

In both matches, Atletico had a player sent off, with Felipe receiving a red card in the first match and Antoine Griezmann in the second.

Currently, the main topic of discussion is whether Alexander Isak will debut for his new team following his £125 million transfer from Newcastle.

The Swede did not play in Liverpool’s 1-0 victory against Burnley at Turf Moor, as Slot emphasized that he would gradually integrate his latest signing, who has not had a complete pre-season due to his efforts to secure a transfer. However, Isak is part of the squad and is in contention to make his debut.

Liverpool’s other summer acquisitions, including Florian Wirtz and Hugo Ekitike, may also be set to make their European debuts for their new club, while Jeremie Frimpong is back in the mix after returning from injury as a substitute over the weekend.

Alexis Mac Allister could also be involved, while the status of Curtis Jones remains uncertain after he was absent from the squad against Burnley due to a minor injury.

Isak and Mac Allister were both observed training with the team on Tuesday, although Jones was not present.

Predicted Liverpool XI (4-2-3-1): Alisson; Frimpong, Konate, Van Dijk, Kerkez; Gravenberch, Mac Allister, Wirtz; Salah, Ekitike, Gakpo

Doubt: Jones

Time and date: 8:00 PM BST on Wednesday, September 17, 2025
