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.

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.
