Xabi Alonso returns to Anfield on Tuesday for Bayer Leverkusen's Champions League visit to Liverpool.
Arne Slot is currently enjoying an 11-game unbeaten run at Liverpool, with the Reds top of the Premier League and attaining a 100 percent Champions League record. The head coach has a concern over the next few days, though. Ibrahima Konate was forced off with an arm injury at half-time in Saturday’s win over Brighton & Hove Albion and is consequently a doubt for Tuesday’s European clash with Bayer Leverkusen. Konate has started every continental match so far this term.
To play in the Champions League at Anfield, it can’t get much better than that. “The atmosphere is super. They are one of the best teams in Europe, they are dominant so it’s a huge challenge, they will make it difficult for us.” Leverkusen, who went unbeaten in Germany last season, are already lagging seven points behind leaders Bayern Munich in the title race this time around. They have accumulated seven points from their first three Champions League matches.
