Liverpool Vs Atletico Madrid Preview
On Friday night, Liverpool beat Ipswich to give new manager Andoni Iraola lift-off in the Premier League having drawn his opening two fixtures. Star forward Alexander Isak scored both goals at Portman Road in the 2-0 win which has teed up the Merseysiders quite nicely going into Wednesday clash.
As for Atletico Madrid, they were humbled 3-0 at Athletic Club on the weekend. The Julian Alvarez transfer saga appears to have had it’s toll on his teammates and sections of the Atleti faithful booed the Argentine when he was subbed on. Just as they did against Villarreal in August.
Liverpool Vs Atletico Madrid H2H Record

Liverpool Vs Atletico Madrid Team News
Hugo Ekitike, Conor Bradley and Giovanni Leoni are still on the touchline for Liverpool. Mega-money signing Bradley Barcola is pushing for a start on the right of a three-pronged attack which will see Alexander Isak installed as the out-and-out striker.
Meanwhile, Norwegian World Cup international Alexander Sorloth is ruled out injured for Atletico Madrid. Arnau Ortiz is suspended while for Tottenham defender Cristian Romero could make his full debut. Naturally, the biggest concern from Diego Simeone’s perspective is whether to start Julian Alvarez. If he doesn’t, Jonathan David should get the nod.
