On the pitch, Liverpool do need to beat Inter Milan to improve their chances of reaching the knockout stages of the Champions League as one of the seeded teams. They were beaten 4-1 at home by PSV in their last game and will now face Inter Milan, who are fourth in the table and have lost just once in five games so far. Inter Milan are also second in Serie A, just one point behind leaders Napoli, and Christian Chivu’s side are difficult to break down, with the likes of Lautaro Martinez, Marcus Thuram and Hakan Calhanoglu able to punish you in attack.

Inter Milan News, Highlights
Even after losing head coach Inzaghi, Inter Milan still retains the 3-5-2 formation that has performed well in recent years, and the lineup is very stable. Calhanoglu dominates the midfield, while Martinez and Thuram form a good partnership up front. Full-backs are important to the way Inter play and if Denzel Dumfries returns from his ankle injury, he and Federico Di Marco will cause problems for Liverpool’s defence, as defending out wide has been an issue for Arne Slott’s side all season.
Liverpool team news, focus
It remains to be seen whether Salah will play for Liverpool again, as Slott will address the issue at his pre-match press conference in Milan. Salah did arrive at Liverpool’s training ground on Monday. In terms of injuries, Jeremie Frimpong and Giovanni Leoni are still out, but Slot has calmed down now and has some big decisions to make. Hugo Ekitic is certain to start after scoring twice against Leeds, but does that mean Isak remains on the bench? Will Joe Gomez start at right back and Andy Robertson at left back to rotate the defense?
Inter Milan vs Liverpool Prediction
