Liverpool host Villarreal at Anfield in the Champions League on Tuesday, October 20, with kick-off scheduled for 8pm. The Reds are looking to make it three wins from three in the league phase following victories over Atletico Madrid and LASK.
Perfect Start to the League Phase
Liverpool began their Champions League campaign with a 2-1 home win over Villarreal's La Liga rivals Atletico Madrid. They followed that with a 6-3 victory over LASK in Austria last week, in a match described as crazy.
After that European success, injury-hit Liverpool returned to winning ways in the Premier League with a 2-1 victory at Brentford on Saturday. However, the win came at a cost, with Dominik Szoboszlai and Jeremie Frimpong coming off injured.
Team News and Injury Concerns
Victor Munoz, whose goal started the fightback against Brentford, was absent from Tuesday's open training session at the AXA Training Centre. Manager Andoni Iraola could be down to the bare bones for the match.
The Reds will be looking to bounce back from a dispiriting defeat to Manchester City, having secured back-to-back victories in the Champions League and the Premier League since then.
