Follow Mail Sport's live blog for the live score, team news and latest updates as Liverpool host Lille at Anfield in the Champions League. By Harry Bamforth. Arne Slot is not exactly one to take games likely, so I think he will go pretty strong tonight. I mean, Liverpool are unlikely to drop out of the automatic qualification spots now, but still, Arne Slot will want to get the job done properly.
The question is though, does he trust any fringe players to do that job?. Federico Chiesa is a player who is starting to get more minutes and this seems like a game he could start and strut his stuff. The same goes for Darwin Nunez, who is fresh off his super-sub appearance away at Brentford.
They aren't exactly bad names to bring into the side, are they?. I guess we will find out if they make the starting line-up in a matter of minutes, the team news is almost here. If you think Lille have come over to Anfield just to roll over, you have got another thing coming.
The French side have been on fire in the Champions League this season, I have loved watching them. I mean, they have beaten both Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid, while they also drew away at Juventus. Not bad, eh?. This will not be a walk in the park for Liverpool - far from it - Lille are going to give them one hell of a game.
They love banging in goals, just like the Reds, and are unbeaten in 21 games stretching all the way back to September. Even just writing these sentences is getting me excited, can the game not just start now?. It's going to be a cracker, I can assure you of that.
