Inter v Liverpool

Inter Milan saw their 100% record in this season’s Champions League brought to an end when losing 2-1 away at Atletico Madrid on matchday 5. Nevertheless, the Italian giants are still looking well placed to progress to the knockout round.

3 of Inter Milan’s 4 victories in this season’s Champions League have been accompanied by a clean sheet. That can be attributed to the fact that only Arsenal (1) have conceded fewer goals than Inter (3) across the opening five rounds of league phase action.

It's probably fair to say that nobody could have foreseen such a dramatic drop-off in form from Liverpool this season. The out-of-sorts Reds have come away empty-handed from 9 of their last 15 matches across all competitions, while they have drawn each of their last 2 Premier League games with newly-promoted Sunderland and Leeds. That pair of stalemates has left Liverpool a sizeable 10 points adrift of league leaders Arsenal.

Despite crashing to a shock 4-1 home defeat in their last Champions League game against PSV, Liverpool remain on track to reach the knockout round, with a top-8 finish still well within the realms of possibility. The Reds have won 3 of their five league phase fixtures thus far, most notably defeating Real Madrid 1-0 on matchday four.
