Liverpool can remain perfect in the 2024–25 Champions League with a victory over Xabi Alonso's Bayer Leverkusen on Nov. 5.
The Reds have soared to the top of the Premier League and the Champions League standings under Arne Slot. Aside from Liverpool's lone defeat to Nottingham Forest on Sept. 14, the club has only dropped points against Arsenal across all competitions this season.
To remain at the top, though, Liverpool must become the first team to defeat Bayer Leverkusen in the 2024–25 Champions League. Coming off a comeback victory over Brighton & Hove Albion at the weekend, the Reds have all the momentum as they welcome the Bundesliga champions to Anfield.
Liverpool will once again be without Alisson, Diogo Jota, Federico Chiesa and Harvey Elliott due to injury, leaving Slot without many options off the bench should his side need a spark. The manager also confirmed Ibrahima Konaté is available to play despite suffering an arm injury on Sunday.
Here's what Liverpool's XI could look like against Alonso's men.
