Liverpool fans are buzzing about Arne Slot’s appointment, which might just be the lucky charm the Reds needed! The Dutchman has led them to the top of the Premier League and kept a perfect winning streak in the UEFA Champions League. Their latest win, a hard-fought 2-1 against Brighton, brings their tally to an impressive 13 wins out of 15 games this season. With the Anfield crowd cheering them on, Liverpool is eager to keep the good vibes going in the UCL, especially at home where they’ve snagged 11 wins in their last 16 UCL matches.

Next up, they face Bundesliga champs Bayer Leverkusen. Even though Leverkusen is on a roll, Liverpool fans can take comfort in their unbeaten streak against German teams, which stretches to 13 games. Funny enough, Leverkusen was the last German team to beat Liverpool back in the 2001/02 UCL season. Xabi Alonso, now managing Leverkusen, returns to Anfield with fond memories and hopes to keep his team’s impressive run of four unbeaten matches against English teams alive.

Leverkusen won’t be a walk in the park, though! They’ve only lost once in 15 games this season and are unbeaten in their UCL campaign with two wins and a draw. They’ve also been solid on the road in Europe, with just one loss in their last 13 away UCL matches.
