Despite struggling against Porto in the opening game, Atletico Madrid sent a strong message on Matchday 2 with an away victory against AC Milan, and the Spanish giants will no look to press home their case for qualification in a Champions League double-header against Liverpool.
The first of those games takes place on Tuesday evening at the Estadio Wanda Metropolitano, although Los Colchoneros will be aware they are facing a team that are in top form in Liverpool.
Mohamed Salah has been imperious of late, scoring a quite magnificent individual goal in Saturday's 5-0 victory over Watford, and you'd expect Atletico's defence to need to be at their best to keep him quiet.
With Milan taking on Porto in the other fixture, this isn't necessarily the time for either Liverpool or Atletico Madrid to drop points, with a swing in results putting huge pressure on either side in the final two matchdays.
Matheus Cunha remains injured for the hosts, whilst Jose Gimenez and Marcos Llorente face a battle to be fit enough to play against the Merseyside club.
Liverpool have no real new injury issues, although Thiago Alcantara is nearing a return, whilst Harvey Elliott will be on the sidelines for a while due to his ankle fracture/dislocation.

AM won against a ten men ACM side. They struggled against Porto. Now they face England most decorated team which is actually high flying. Simeone has no chance against Klopp, until we play with ten men

both legs will be draws, or one win for ATM. Liverpool isn't winning any match, that's my prediction.
