Key players missing as Liverpool take on LASK.
Liverpool [WDWWL] arrive in Austria looking to respond after a bruising 3-0 defeat to Manchester City at Anfield on Sunday. The result marked their first loss of the season under Andoni Iraola, following an impressive start that included a 2-1 victory over Atlético Madrid in their opening UCL fixture. That triumph extended the Reds’ record to 25 wins in their last 29 group-stage or league-phase matches in the competition [25W, 0D, 4L]. They have also won their last three away games at this stage, while consecutive victories to nil on the road in all competitions should provide further encouragement ahead of this encounter. The visitors were without the key trio Cody Gakpo, Dominik Szoboszlai, and Alexander Isak against City, leaving their availability an important consideration as the Reds seek an immediate response. “I think it’s going to be difficult to recover any of the players,” Iraola confirmed their absence as this fixture drew nearer. A 4—2—3—1 formation with Lewis Koumas leading the attacking line may be seen against Die Schwarz-Weißen.
