Tonight marks Liverpool’s return to European play as the Reds host Atalanta of Italy for the opening leg of their Europa League quarter-final match.

Following the weekend victories of Arsenal and Manchester City, Liverpool’s title aspirations took a hit with their 2-2 draw with Manchester United. The outcome isn’t catastrophic, but it did knock Liverpool from first place to second, behind Arsenal just on goal differential.

Against Atalanta today, Jurgen Klopp will continue his trophy pursuit; the German coach is aiming for his first Europa League title. In their most recent Champions League group stage match in 2020, Liverpool defeated Atalanta 2-0 at Anfield after a 5-0 victory in Italy.

Could Liverpool, therefore, go into next week’s second leg in Italy with a lead? Ok, let’s check it out.

The winner of the Ballon d’Or passed on Liverpool in favour of one of the most contentious trades in football history.

Harvey Elliott’s cryptic opinion on Liverpool’s starting lineup suggests Jurgen Klopp is ready to discuss.

We obtained a score prediction for Liverpool vs. Atalanta by simulating the match.

Using EA FC 24 and the most recent suspensions and injuries, we were able to finish the simulation.

Based on our analysis, Liverpool’s starting lineup may look like this: Kelleher; Bradley, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Mac Allister, Elliott, Jones; Salah, Gakpo, Nunez.

Our best guess is that the away team will use a 3-4-1-2 formation, with the following possible starting eleven: Musso, Toloi, Dijmsiti, Kolasinac; Zappacosta, De Roon, Ederson, Ruggeri; Koopmeiners, Lookman, Scamacca.

In the first ten minutes of the match at Anfield, Liverpool should have taken the lead thanks to two excellent opportunities created by Mohamed Salah, but he was careless with the ball. Virgil van Dijk hit the post with a corner kick right before halftime, and the Reds kept up their pressure, so the game went into halftime tied.

Atalanta had their first opportunity of the game just minutes after the break, when Teum Koopmeiners, a Dutchman, was on the outskirts of the penalty area and had a strong shot that Caoimhim Kelleher brilliantly stopped. In an effort to take the lead, Klopp made a few substitutions before the hour mark, and the opening goal didn’t come until the 68th minute.

A long-range shot by Curtis Jones was blocked as he advanced into the middle of the field, but the ball fortunately deflected off the defender and fell into Dominik Szoboszlai’s path. The Hungarian took advantage of a volley to give the Reds a justifiable lead by rifled a shot past the goalkeeper from close range.
