Liverpool is back in Champions League action, feeling great at the top of both the Premier League and UCL group tables. With a perfect six wins out of six and just one goal conceded—a record only matched by Leeds in 1969/70—the Reds seem unstoppable. They’ve also got an awesome home record, with ten straight wins in group stage games at Anfield.

Their weekend win over Brentford (2-0) showed off Liverpool’s squad depth, with goals from substitutes sealing the deal. Alexis Mac Allister is back from suspension and can’t wait to make an impact, especially at Anfield, where he loves to shine.

On the flip side, Lille comes in as the underdogs, struggling against English teams. They’ve lost their last six UCL matches against Premier League sides and have only one away win in England across all competitions. Still, Bruno Génésio’s crew is on a solid 21-game unbeaten run and is in the mix to reach the UCL knockout stages.
