Liverpool aim to secure their place in the Champions League round of 16 when they host Lille.
The Reds sit atop the league phase table, having maintained a flawless record of six wins from six matches, while Lille, currently in 8th place, hold the final automatic qualification spot with 13 points.
The Merseysiders have the best defensive record in the competition, conceding only once so far.
Despite a mixed recent form (2 wins, 2 draws, and 1 loss in their last 5 matches), Liverpool remain unbeaten at Anfield in their last 13 games.
Liverpool have won all six league phase matches whilst Lille are unbeaten in their last 11 away games.
Joe Gomez is the only confirmed absentee.
Diogo Jota is doubtful, meaning Luis Díaz may lead the attack alongside Mohamed Salah and Federico Chiesa.
Curtis Jones and Ryan Gravenberch are likely midfield starters, while Wataru Endo could partner Virgil van Dijk in defense.
Lille enter the match in strong form, unbeaten in their last 21 games across all competitions and winning four of their last five Champions League matches.
Despite injuries to key players like Tiago Santos and Samuel Umtiti, Lille’s defensive structure remains robust, with Thomas Meunier and Bafode Diakite expected to start.
Jonathan David will lead their attack, supported by Mitchel Bakker, Remy Cabella, and Osame Sahraoui.
Liverpool Predicted XI:
Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Endo, Van Dijk, Robertson, Jones, Gravenberch; Salah, Elliott, Chiesa, Diaz
Lille Predicted XI:
Chevalier, Meunier, Diakite, Ribeiro, Ismaily; Andre, Bouaddi, Bakker, Cabella, Sahraoui, David
