Liverpool sit top of the Champions League with a 100% record after their opening six games. The Reds have been unstoppable in Europe’s elite club competition, scoring 13 times and conceding just once. Continental heavyweights AC Milan, Bayer Leverkusen and Real Madrid have all fallen by the wayside in Liverpool’s march to the knockout stages. 

With a six-point gap to the playoffs, it would take a miracle for Arne Slot’s side not to automatically progress to the next round of the Champions League. Might the unstoppable force falter against an immovable object at Anfield tonight, however? Liverpool welcome Lille to Merseyside and the Ligue 1 outfit are not to be underestimated.
