UEFA Champions League actions resumes as Premier League giant Liverpool play host to Serie A club Bologna at Anfield.
The Reds won their seventh game across all competitions under new head coach Arne Slot at the weekend, picking up three points on the road 2–1 over Wolverhampton Wanderers. Liverpool's only defeat under Slot came back in mid-September in a 1–0 home loss vs. Nottingham Forest.
However, Slot's side quickly rebounded and find themselves at the top of the Premier League standings after six matches. Liverpool has the best goal difference in the English top flight having conceded only two goals to start the new season.
Key figures like Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Alexis Mac Allister all played the full 90 minutes against Wolves. However, Slot could look to still start them against Bologna in a bid to potentially have three points wrapped up early on to give second-half minutes to younger players or fringe players who need playing time to stay sharp.
