Inter Milan leads Liverpool 2-0 in the second leg of their UEFA Champions League tie. On Tuesday, the two teams will face off again to see who progresses to the quarterfinals.
Last month, Jurgen Klopp's side won a very simple encounter at the San Siro thanks to second-half goals from Roberto Firmino and Mohamed Salah.
Liverpool had the upper hand in terms of possession, with 13 shots on goal. Inter, on the other hand, did not make a single goal-scoring attempt.
After winning their last seven league games, the Merseysiders are in second place in the Premier League table, 10 points ahead of Chelsea.
Liverpool look to be on the approach of giving the current champions a fight for their money, despite Man City being in pole position to retain their championship.
Each of the Reds' previous seven league matches, as well as each of their previous 12 encounters in all competitions, have ended in victory.
It's also worth noting that Liverpool has scored the most goals in the Premier League this season. As a result, they will be optimistic about their chances of beating Inter on Tuesday.
Inter, on the other hand, is coming off a 5-0 win against Salernitana before the encounter on Tuesday. After Lautaro Martinez's hat-trick, Edin Dzeko scored a brace.
Inter's victory on Friday, on the other hand, ended a four-match losing skid in Serie A.
Only one of Simone Inzaghi's team's first 22 Serie A games was lost, but only two of their past six have been victories.
After failing to record a shot on target in the first leg, Inter are likely to struggle against Liverpool's sturdy backline at Anfield.
In all European events, Liverpool and Inter have met five times. The Reds have won four occasions over the years, whereas Inter have only won once.
Liverpool has never conceded a goal in any of their previous three meetings with the Reds.
There are no new injury concerns for Liverpool. On the other side, Roberto Firmino, Thiago Alcantara, and Joel Matip have fitness worries.
Inter, on the other hand, will go to England with a full squad after Nicolo Barella's return from suspension.
Based on their domination in the first leg, Liverpool are set to book their spot in the quarter-finals on Tuesday.
