Comments and predictions for RB Leipzig vs Liverpool: Dramatic match

Linked by the one and only Jurgen Klopp, RB Leipzig and Liverpool will face off in a Champions League group stage clash on Wednesday at the Red Bull Arena.

The Reds have comfortably beaten Bologna and AC Milan in the new season of the competition, but the Bundesliga hosts are yet to pick up a point.

Latest RB Leipzig vs Liverpool squad information

Liverpool's win over Chelsea came at a cost, with Diogo Jota lasting just half an hour before being affected by a challenge from Tosin Adarabioyo, and Slot would be surprised to see the Portugal international feature on Wednesday.

Alisson Becker (muscle injury) and Harvey Elliott (leg injury) are also on the injury list, while Federico Chiesa remains a doubt, and young defender Conor Bradley was also left out of the squad for the match against Liverpool for no apparent reason.

Bradley's absence has left Slot in a near crisis at right-back, with the Dutchman revealing that Trent Alexander-Arnold was also struggling ahead of the game, so Joe Gomez could be handed a surprise start in defence if the Liverpool boss protects Alexander-Arnold ahead of the Arsenal clash.

Rose can understand Slot's concerns about fresh attacking problems, with Leipzig losing top scorer Lois Openda to injury in the closing minutes of the win over Mainz, but the Belgian played down concerns about his condition after the game and insisted he would be fine for Wednesday's game.

It is a similar situation for Amadou Haidara, who also picked up an injury in the second half of the weekend win, but Xaver Schlager (ACL), David Raum (ligament), Nicolas Seiwald (groin) and Assan Ouedraogo (knee) are all under medical care.

If Openda's injury does not recur, he will form part of a promising attacking trio alongside Xavi Simons and Benjamin Sesko, who has scored all three of Leipzig's goals in the Champions League so far.

Latest RB Leipzig vs Liverpool expected lineup

RB Leipzig:

Gulacsi; Orban, Klostermann, Lukeba; Geertruida, Haidara, Vermeeren, Nusa; Simons; Sesko, Openda

Liverpool:

Kelleher; Gomez, Konate, Van Dijk, Tsimikas; Mac Allister, Gravenberch; Salah, Jones, Diaz; Nunez

Latest football commentary RB Leipzig vs Liverpool

Arne Slot's revolution at Liverpool shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon, with the Reds passing one of the toughest tests yet for their Premier League title bid on Sunday, as the Dutchman won the battle of newly appointed Premier League managers with Enzo Maresca.

A precise Mohamed Salah penalty and a poor finish from Curtis Jones ensured Nicolas Jackson's fine strike was little consolation for Chelsea, as Liverpool restored a one-point lead over Manchester City at the top of the Premier League and made it 10 wins from 11 under Slot.

Two of those victories have come against Italian opponents in Europe, as Liverpool followed up a 3-1 win over AC Milan with a 2-0 win over Bologna in the second round, although they also benefited from the Rossoblu's missed chances.

Tougher tests await - Sunday's trip to title rivals Arsenal promises to be an intriguing affair - but the Merseysiders, currently fifth in the 36-team Champions League standings, are enjoying a fine run as they chase an eighth successive win in all competitions.

Furthermore, the Reds have won all five of their away games under Slot so far - keeping three clean sheets and conceding just two goals - and Liverpool have not lost away to a German side in the Champions League since 2001-02.

That includes a 2-0 win over Leipzig at the Red Bull Arena in February 2021, when Klopp was in charge of Liverpool, but the German will soon be back in charge of the hosts next Wednesday, having agreed to become Red Bull's new Global Head of Football from January.

Marco Rose's side are in need of some inspiration from the 2019 Champions League winners, with their record in 2024-25 standing at two defeats from two European games, albeit against strong opposition such as Atletico Madrid and Juventus.

Die Roten Bullen kept both of those games close – only losing to a late Jose Gimenez goal against Atletico – but they let a one-goal advantage slip twice against a 10-man Juventus, going down 3-2 to Dusan Vlahovic's Bianconeri.

That evening, Juventus lost key centre-back Bremer to injury after just seven minutes and saw goalkeeper Michele Di Gregorio sent off with 30 minutes remaining, but they still scored twice despite playing with a man disadvantage, while Leipzig suffered a catastrophic collapse.

Things have improved slightly for Rose's side since then - they have won back-to-back Bundesliga games against Mainz 05 and Heidenheim, keeping clean sheets in both - but they could become the first team to lose three consecutive Champions League games despite scoring the opening goal in all of them.
