Liverpool will be looking to finish the Champions League group stage with a 100% record when they visit the San Siro to face AC Milan on Tuesday night.
Jurgen Klopp’s side find themselves ten points clear at the top of Group B after securing five consecutive victories.
Meanwhile, Milan sit third – one point behind second-place Porto – having registered one win, one draw and three losses so far.
Milan know they must avoid defeat to stand any chance of qualifying for the knockout phase. However, they will be eliminated if Porto beat Atletico Madrid on Matchday 6.
The Rossoneri lost each of their opening three Champions League games this season, including a 3-2 defeat to Liverpool on Matchday 1.
But they head into Tuesday’s clash having taken four points from their past two matches. After drawing with Porto, Stefano Pioli’s men beat Atletico Madrid last time out.
In Serie A, Milan sit atop the table – one point clear of second-place Inter – after losing just two of their 16 games this term.
They come into Matchday 6 on the back of a 2-0 victory over Salernitana. Not only did they enjoy 71% possession on Saturday, but they also racked up 22 shots.
Meanwhile, Liverpool needed a 94th-minute winner from Divock Origi to edged out Wolves at the weekend.
Despite seeing 68% of the ball and registering 17 shots, the Reds left it late to extend their winning streak in the Premier League to four games.
This season, Klopp’s side have lost just one of their 22 matches across all competitions – picking up 17 wins and four draws along the way.
Not only have they won each of their five Champions League games, but they have also scored 15 goals in the process. That means they’re averaging three goals per game.
Head-to-head: Milan and Liverpool have played out three competitive meetings over the years, with both sides winning the Champions League final at the other’s expense.
Back in September, Liverpool came from 2-1 down at half-time to beat Milan 3-2. Klopp’s men enjoyed 62% possession and chalked up 23 shots in the reverse fixture.
Team news: AC Milan have seven injury absentees at the moment – Simon Kjaer, Alessandro Plizzari, Samu Castillejo, Ante Rebic, Davide Calabria, Olivier Giroud and Pietro Pellegri.
As for Liverpool, they are currently without Roberto Firmino, Naby Keita, Joe Gomez, Curtis Jones and Harvey Elliott.
The Reds will be eager to finish the group stage with a 100% record. For that reason, a big away win is on the cards here.
Forebet predicts that Liverpool will score over 2.5 goals and keep a clean sheet on their way to dispatching Milan.
