A big night of Champions League football on Tuesday is headlined by the return of Trent Alexander-Arnold to Anfield for the first time since his acrimonious summer move to Real Madrid.
Arsenal take on Slavia Prague without injured striker Viktor Gyokeres, while Tottenham are in action against FC Copenhagen.
Rangers have had a rant about referees following Sunday’s Scottish League Cup defeat to Celtic, while Granit Xhaka’s second-half goal helped Sunderland avoid defeat against Everton on Monday night.
Liverpool boss Arne Slot admits he cannot guarantee Alexander-Arnold a warm reception when he makes his first return to Anfield since his acrimonious summer move to Real Madrid.
Alexander-Arnold, who came through the club’s academy system, was booed by his own fans when his departure was made public and can expect the same treatment during Tuesday’s eagerly-anticipated Champions League showdown.
However, Slot and his former team-mates are expected to welcome the defender back with open arms.
Slot said: “I have great memories of the player and the human being. He was my vice-captain last season and I have memories of working with him which were only positive.
“How the fans…I have no clue how that’s going to be, but he gets a warm welcome from me, that’s for sure.”
