Liverpool will tonight be reunited with Xabi Alonso as Bayer Leverkusen come to town in the Champions League.

The former Reds midfielder was strongly linked with a return to Anfield in the wake of Jurgen Klopp’s departure earlier this year, having led the German side to an unbeaten domestic double last season.

That, so far, has proven to have been a masterstroke.



The Dutchman has impressed thus far and his team are unbeaten in Europe, having overcome RB Leipzig 1-0 last time out.

Liverpool vs Bayer Leverkusen

The German champions will no doubt provide a stern test but Liverpool have been far too strong to overlook, especially at home.

There are chinks in their armour - with the manner of their victories over the past few weeks not as emphatic as previously - but Alonso’s side are this season struggling to turn draws into wins, which is the opposite of last season, so we’re giving the Reds the edge.

Liverpool to win, 2-1.
