Predicted Lineups
Match Preview
Liverpool look to maintain their winning start to the 2025–26 season when they host Atlético Madrid in their Champions League opener on Wednesday evening.
The Reds have won all four of their Premier League games this term but have needed late heroics to retain their perfect record. Another last-gasp winner saw them beat newly-promoted Burnley at the weekend as Mohamed Salah strode forward confidently from the penalty spot to earn the Reds victory at Turf Moor in stoppage time.
Arne Slot knows that such drama in the dying embers of matches cannot be relied upon long-term and will be eager to witness a more comfortable victory at home to Atlético in Liverpool’s first league phase encounter. The Dutchman guided the Reds to top spot in last season’s table with seven victories from eight, but Diego Simeone’s wily operators will offer them a sizeable opening test this year.
Atlético don’t enter Wednesday’s fixture in particularly convincing form having won just one of their four La Liga games this season. Their 2–0 win at home to Villarreal at the weekend got them up and running after a defeat to Espanyol was followed by back-to-back draws with Elche and Deportivo Alavés.
Atléti have immense European experience, however, and will have no qualms heading to Anfield midweek. They have lost their last two meetings with Liverpool but will take solace from knocking the Reds out of the Champions League in 2019–20 with a remarkable 3–2 extra-time victory on Merseyside.
FC Bayern Munich Team News
Bayern Munich have been without Alphonso Davies and Jamal Musiala since the start of the 2025–26 season, with the pair poised for returns later this calendar year.
The sturdy Josip Stanišić has provided cover in Davies’s absence, while Serge Gnabry is enjoying a resurgence in a more central role after Musiala’s significant injury setback during the FIFA Club World Cup. Gnabry was regarded as one of the world’s best when Bayern last faced Chelsea in August 2020.
Raphaël Guerreiro suffered an abdominal injury at the weekend, ruling him out of Wednesday’s game, while Hiroki Ito is also sidelined for the hosts.
Nicolas Jackson is eligible to play despite joining Bayern on loan from Chelsea late in the summer window, but Harry Kane will start up top against the Blues.
Chelsea Team News
Maresca is currently dealing with a pretty lengthy injury list, but the Italian did welcome Cole Palmer back to the fold at the weekend, and the English playmaker swiftly scored off the bench upon his return.
Palmer is a lock to start as Chelsea’s No. 10 in Munich, as long as he is fit coming out of the Burnley tie.
João Pedro wasn‘t fully fit for Saturday’s game at Brentford, with Maresca revealing that the Brazilian asked not to play after returning from international duty. Estêvão, meanwhile, missed Chelsea’s 2–2 draw through illness but has been spotted in training ahead of their trip to Bayern.
Dário Essugo and Liam Delap are new long-term absentees, while Roméo Lavia and Benoît Badiashile are unlikely to make their returns to action on Wednesday.
