Why Liverpool vs Villarreal isn't on TNT and how to watch free
Liverpool vs Villarreal: Why not on TNT and free watch

Liverpool's Champions League clash with Villarreal at Anfield on Tuesday night will not be shown on TNT Sports, as the fixture has been selected for Amazon Prime coverage. Amazon stream one Champions League fixture each matchweek, meaning supporters can watch the match directly via the Prime Video app on smart TVs, gaming consoles and mobile devices.

A free trial is accessible to new customers, allowing fans to watch the game without charge. Coverage for the fixture will begin at 7pm UK time, with around an hour of build-up expected ahead of the Anfield encounter. Kick-off for Liverpool vs Villarreal is pencilled in for the usual time of 8pm.

Liverpool's perfect start and Villarreal's mixed form

Liverpool boast a 100 per cent record in this year's competition, having won both of their matches so far. The Reds defeated Atletico Madrid in their first matchday, while they were on the right side of a nine-goal thriller away to LASK in Austria last week. They are looking to record a third consecutive finish inside the top eight, thus securing direct qualification to the last-16.

Villarreal have got off to a mixed start this time around, losing 3-2 to Borussia Dortmund in MD1, before beating Napoli 3-1 last time out. The fixture holds plenty of significance, given it was the semi-final in the same competition just four years ago.

Team news and what's next

Liverpool are expected to be without Dominik Szoboszlai and Jeremie Frimpong after they picked up injuries during the weekend win over Brentford. Both Alexander Isak and Cody Gakpo have returned from the niggles that kept them out of the squad in recent weeks. Following this mid-week fixture, Liverpool welcome Brighton to Anfield on Sunday.
