Two old Champions League rivals finally meet in this competition after fourteen years. Liverpool faced Milan in the finals two times - in 2005 and 2007, with each team winning one of those legendary matches. Things have changed since then, with Liverpool managing to claim another European trophy just three years ago, while Milan went through a hard period and is only starting to reclaim its old glory. Interestingly enough, this will be the first time Liverpool welcomes Rossoneri at Anfield. The hosts are without Roberto Firmino and Harvey Elliott, while the guests start without Olivier Giroud, Rade Krunic, and Tiemoue Bakayoko.

Liverpool is coming from a persuasive 3-0 victory over Leeds, and is currently topping the league alongside United, Chelsea, and Everton. Klopp's men continue to play amazingly well, led by the amazing defender Virgil van Dijk who missed the previous season. Last season, the Reds reached the Champions League quarter-finals, even with everyone writing them off as title contenders. They were eliminated by Real Madrid, who appears to be their kryptonite in this competition.

Stefano Pioli really changed the mentality of this Milan team, and with good investments from American owners, the legendary club could begin to chase its former ways of fighting for both Italian and European trophies. The guests opened the league with three victories, and are coming from a 2-0 home triumph vs. Lazio. Last season, Milan faced Manchester United in the Europa League round of sixteen, losing 1-0 at San Siro which cost them an easy path to the semis.

The upcoming clash has an incredible amount of prestige written all over it, and we can expect an amazing game tomorrow night. It is true Liverpool is a better team, but I can see the guests going into this match filled with confidence, and will predict them to at least avoid a loss with more than a one-goal margin. Good luck!

两支欧冠老对手时隔14年终于在这次比赛中相遇。利物浦曾在2005年和2007年两次在决赛中对阵米兰，两队都赢得了一场传奇般的比赛。从那时起，事情就发生了变化，利物浦在三年前成功夺取了另一个欧洲冠军，而米兰经历了一段艰难的时期，才刚刚开始重拾昔日的荣耀。有趣的是，这将是利物浦第一次在安菲尔德迎接红黑军团。主办方没有罗伯托·菲尔米诺(Roberto Firmino)和哈维·艾略特(Harvey Elliott)，而嘉宾开始时没有奥利弗·吉鲁(Olivier Giroud)、雷德·克鲁尼奇(Rade Krunic)和提穆·巴卡约科(Tiemoue Bakayoko)。

利物浦3-0大胜利兹联，目前与曼联、切尔西和埃弗顿并列联赛榜首。克洛普的球队继续表现出色，在上赛季缺席的后卫范迪克(Virgil van Dijk)的带领下。上个赛季，红魔进入了欧冠四分之一决赛，尽管所有人都认为他们是冠军争夺者。他们被皇马淘汰，皇马在这场比赛中似乎是他们的克星。

皮奥利真的改变了这支米兰球队的心态，在美国老板的良好投资下，这支传奇俱乐部可以开始追逐它以前为意大利和欧洲冠军而战的方式。客人们以三场胜利开启了联赛，并且是在主场2-0战胜拉齐奥。上个赛季，米兰在欧洲联赛16强中对阵曼联，在圣西罗0 - 1失利，让他们轻松进入了半决赛。

即将到来的比赛有着不可思议的声望，我们可以期待明天晚上一场精彩的比赛。利物浦确实是一支更好的球队，但我可以看到客人们满怀信心地进入这场比赛，并预测他们至少能避免一球以上的失利。
