Atlético Madrid and Liverpool are in second and first place respectively in Group B, which also includes FC Porto and AC Milan. Indeed, the English side are just two points ahead of their Spanish opponents going into the game, and so this match will likely prove crucial in deciding who qualifies as group winners, which can often be advantageous.
Atléti opened their Champions league campaign with a disappointing 0-0 draw against Porto, but have since gone on to beat AC Milan 1-2 in the San Siro. The Reds, meanwhile, earned a dramatic 3-2 victory against AC Milan at Anfield on match day one, before beating Porto 1-5 in their second group game.
The Atlético Madrid players should be well rested going into this Champions League clash. They were due to play Granada this weekend, but their match, along with that of city rivals Real, was postponed due to the number of players that the teams had away in South America over the international break.
Liverpool, though, were hardly challenged at the weekend. The players will have had harder training sessions than the 0-5 away victory over Watford that they cruised through at lunchtime on Saturday.
One player everyone will have their eye on is Atlético striker Luis Suarez, as he takes on his former side. The fitness of his teammates Marcos Llorente, Jose Maria Gimenez and Matheus Cunha is not clear going into the game. For Liverpool, the attention will be on whether goalkeeper Alisson and Fabinho are able to play following their time with the Brazil squad.
Given their lead in the group, Liverpool would probably be pleased to earn a draw at the Wanda Metropolitano, which is always an intimidating place for a visiting team. Atlético Madrid know a win would put them top of the group and give them a good chance of qualifying as its winners.

It was an absolutely thrilling encounter the last time these two met, although many think it should not have taken place as Covid began to take hold in Europe. The Spaniards required extra time to progress from the round of 16, ultimately winning 2-4 on aggregate, with Alvaro Morata scoring right at the end of the additional period.
