LIV vs ATN Dream11 Team Prediction Tips for Champions League fixture Liverpool vs Atalanta November 25

LIV vs ATN Dream11: The fourth round of the Champions League is here and Liverpool welcome Atalanta at Anfield. The Reds have won 3 out of 3 games in the Champions League as they sit on top of the table, with a 5-point gap. Liverpool is also unbeaten since their 7-2 loss to Aston Villa which makes it a stretch of 8 games, winning 6 of them. They are also second in the Premier League, level on points with leaders, Tottenham Hotspur. Atalanta’s dream start to the 2020/21 season quickly turned sour and they have only won one of their last 6 fixtures. They have also incurred humiliating losses like the 4-1 to Napoli, 3-1 to Sampdoria and 5-0 to Liverpool. They are currently third in their Champions League group with just a win in three games. They will look to overturn their form as they travel to England but it will be a tough ask.

LIV vs ATN Prediction, Team News, Starting XI

A) Liverpool Team News

Injury Report, Unavailability: Liverpool has an injury crisis with defenders, Virgil van Dijk, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Joe Gomez are all out injured. In midfield, Naby Keita, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Xherdan Shaqiri will also miss out on the action.

Doubtful: Jordan Henderson and new signing, Thiago Alcantara are doubts and it remains to be seen if they pass their late fitness test.

Expected changes: Mohamed Salah tested negative for Covid-19 and should walk back into the side. Diogo Jota has been excellent for the Reds and should keep his place up front. James Milner, Fabinho, Joel Matip and Andrew Robertson should form their makeshift defence. Youngster, Curtis Jones, may get the nod in midfield should Jordan Henderson and Thiago Alcantara not be fit to make the squad.

Liverpool Starting XI (probable):
Allison Becker (GK)
James Milner
Fabinho
Joel Matip
Andrew Robertson
Georginio Wijnaldum
Curtis Jones
Mohamed Salah
Roberto Firmino
Sadio Mane
Diogo Jota

B) Atalanta Team News

Injury Report, Unavailability: Atalanta will be without Fabio Depaoli, Mattia Caldara and Ruslan Malinovsky all suffering injuries.

Doubtful: Gian Piero Gasperini has no doubtful players for the LIV vs ATN Dream11 Prediction.

Expected changes: Gasperini is likely to make a few changes to the side that drew to Spezia over the weekend. Berat Djimsiti will return to the lineup with Cristian Romero making way for him. The midfield on Saturday lacked creativity and Mario Pasalic, Remo Freuler and Johan Mojika may come in to replace Matteo Pessina, Marten de Roon and Robin Gosens. Josip Ilicic is struggling to make the same impact he did last season and will likely make the bench with Luis Muriel touted to start.

Atalanta Starting XI (probable):
Pierluigi Gollini (GK)
Rafael Toloi
Jose Luis Palomino
Berat Djimsiti
Hans Hateboer
Mario Pasalic
Remo Freuler
Johan Mojika
Alejandro Gomez
Duvan Zapata
Luis Muriel

LIV vs ATN Today Match Prediction: Liverpool’s form in comparison to Atalanta’s, clearly makes them the favourites to win this one and the bookies have acknowledged this. Bet365 and Paddy Power have placed an Atalanta win at 4.50 and Liverpool win at 1.70 and 1.62 respectively. The Reds have an impeccable home record and Atalanta will have to do very well to end that. With 9 goals in their last 3 games, the home team will really fancy their chances for the LIV vs ATN Today Match Prediction but Gasperini’s men will be able to make a clear statement of intent with a strong performance at Anfield.
