Yahoo Sports Liverpool vs Bayer Leverkusen: Champions League prediction, kick-off time, TV, live stream, team news, h2h
Liverpool are set to be reunited with Xabi Alonso as Bayer Leverkusen come to town in the Champions League this week.
The former Reds midfielder was strongly linked with a return to Anfield in the wake of Jurgen Klopp’s departure earlier this year, having led the German side to an unbeaten domestic double last season.
Alonso, however, opted to stay with the Bundesliga outfit and Liverpool eventually moved for Arne Slot instead.
That, so far, has proven to have been a masterstroke. The Dutchman has impressed thus far and his team are unbeaten in Europe, having overcome RB Leipzig 1-0 last time out.
Leverkusen, meanwhile, drew with Brest in their last game but have beaten both Feyenoord and PSV Eindhoven thus far.
Here’s everything you need to know about the game.
Date, kick-off time and venue
Liverpool vs Bayer Leverkusen is scheduled for an 8pm GMT kick-off time on Tuesday 5 November, 2024.
