Giovanni Leoni continues recovery from a cruciate ligament injury. Curtis Jones is a doubt with a knock, and Alexander Isak misses out due to a groin issue.

Antonio Rüdiger is recovering from a leg problem and could return by mid-November. David Alaba faces a late fitness test after a muscle issue left his availability uncertain.

Player(s) to watch:

• Mohamed Salah will be the player to watch because he thrives under pressure and delivers in big moments. His sharp movement, quick decisions, and lethal finishing can trouble even the best defences. With Anfield behind him, Salah’s hunger to avenge past defeats against Madrid could define Liverpool’s performance on the night. The Egyptian winger has scored five goals and provided three assists in 14 matches so far in all competitions.
• Kylian Mbappe will be the key threat for Madrid because his pace, timing, and precision make him almost impossible to contain. He breaks lines effortlessly and punishes the smallest defensive lapse. In his current form, every run and touch from Mbappe carries danger, giving Madrid their sharpest edge at Anfield. The Frenchman has scored 18 goals and provided 12 assists in 14 across competitions so far this season.
