Liverpool vs Lille preview

Liverpool's extremely mini-blip looks to be a thing of the past following Darwin Nunez's late heroics against Brentford at the Gtech Community Stadium over the weekend.

Following successive draws against Manchester United and Nottingham Forest, Liverpool collected maximum points to leave them top of the Premier League by six points having played a match less.

They are also leading the standings in the Champions League after six-consecutive wins in the competition, knowing that a point will be enough to guarantee their progression to the knockout stages.

Home advantage should certainly play its part given Liverpool have won each of their last 10 group/league phase games at Anfield in the UCL, scoring 22 goals and only conceding three times.

Only two French sides have ever won away to Liverpool in major European competition (Marseille in 2007 and Lyon in 2009), with 12 of their 15 combined trips ending in defeat (D1).

So Lille's chances don't look overly positive, although we've seen enough to know that they could cause a shock.

The French side are unbeaten in their last five matches in the Champions League (W4 D1), which is their longest run ever in the competition.

It's not just the UCL where Bruno Genesio's side have impressed. Lille are currently unbeaten in 21 competitive matches in all competitions stretching back to September 2024 (W11 D10).

They'll need to improve their record against English opponents having won one of their 10 games against English sides in the competition - their only win coming against Manchester United in 2005.

Win to Nil

This will not be an easy night for Liverpool against a Lille side unbeaten in 21 competitive matches in all competitions, but they should have enough ammunition to continue their 100% start to the Champions League.

Though Lille are in great touch, they do have a habit on conceding having registered only three clean sheets in their last 14 games. They have also only won one of their 10 games against English sides in the Champions League (D2 L7).

Liverpool, meanwhile, have won each of their last 10 group/league phase games at Anfield in the UCL, scoring 22 goals and only conceding three times. They also have two clean sheets in their last three.

Second half goals

Well, you don't need me to tell you that the bulk of Liverpool's goals have come in the second half of matches this season. It's a trend that's continued throughout the campaign with 14 of their last 17 goals netted in the second 45 minutes of matches.
