How to watch RB Leipzig vs Liverpool live: stream link, TV channel, team news, prediction

Liverpool face RB Leipzig in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday as Arne Slot looks to make it 11 wins from 12 across all competitions to start the season.

The Reds picked up a big win at home against Chelsea at the weekend To underline what they can achieve this season, Mohamed Salah looks good, their midfield is balanced and the Liverpool team exudes a nice calm and confidence. They may be just behind Arsenal and Manchester City in the race for the Premier League title, but their quality and experience will undoubtedly make them one of the favorites to win the Champions League this season. Liverpool want to get three wins out of three at the start of the group stage.

Leipzig has lost both Champions League games so far, 1-2 at Atletico Madrid and 2-3 at home against Juventus. They are unbeaten in the Bundesliga and sit in second place on goal difference, only behind leaders Bayern Munich. Marco Rose is in his second full season as Leipzig coach (he took over in September 2022) and is quietly going about his business, building another underrated but efficient team. Benjamin Sesko, Lois Openda and Xavi Simons give the Germans plenty of threat in attack and defensively they are solid with just two goals conceded in the league this season.
