Liverpool host Leverkusen in the Champions League on Tuesday in what is set to be a hugely entertaining game at Anfield.

There are only two sides in the tournament who have won their first three matches so far and Liverpool are one of them following victories versus Milan, Bologna and RB Leipzig.

Leverkusen have been impressive, too, with two victories against Feyenoord and Milan and a draw versus Brest.

Ibrahima Konate is set to miss the game for the Reds as he suffered an arm injury against Brighton and had to be withdrawn.

He joins Alisson Becker, Harvey Elliott, Federico Chiesa and Diogo Jota on the sidelines.

Liverpool vs Leverkusen Expected Lineups

With Konate unlikely to feature, Joe Gomez will deputise in the middle of defence alongside Virgil van Dijk, while Caoimhin Kelleher will continue in goal.

Ryan Gravenberch and Kostas Tsimikas both started against Brighton but Arne Slot may opt to bring Andy Robertson and Curtis Jones back into the fold.

Luis Diaz might be preferred to Cody Gakpo even though the Dutchman scored the winner on Saturday.

Liverpool (4-2-3-1): Kelleher; Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, Van Dijk, Robertson; Mac Allister, Jones; Salah, Szoboszlai; Diaz; Nunez

With Mukiele out, Jeremie Frimpong will revert to right wing-back with Jonas Hofmann taking up an attacking midfield role.

Star man Florian Wirtz will start behind striker Victor Boniface.

Leverkusen (3-4-3): Hradecky; Tah, Tapsoba, Hincapie; Frimpong, Andrich, Xhaka, Grimaldo; Hofmann, Wirtz; Boniface
