LIVE – Liverpool 2-0 Real Madrid: Gakpo doubles Reds’ lead

Liverpool will get a good barometer of their progress when they take on European champions Real Madrid tonight.

Arne Slot has made a positive impression after succeeding Jurgen Klopp at Anfield and his side have an eight-point advantage over struggling Manchester City at the top of the Premier League.

A win tonight would also see them return to the top of the 36-team Champions League table.

Madrid arrive without injured winger Vinicius Jr but can still call on the likes of Kylian Mbappe and Jude Bellingham.
