Match Preview

Xabi Alonso will make an emotional return to Anfield tomorrow night as his Bayer Leverkusen side take on Liverpool.

Alonso enjoyed an impressive spell on Merseyside as a player and has made a seamless transition into top-level management, winning the Bundesliga with Leverkusen after going through last season unbeaten.

They haven’t found the going quite as straightforward this year and currently sit in fourth place having won just four of their opening nine league games.

Alonso was heavily linked with taking over from Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool at the end of last season but the Reds’ hierarchy went instead for Arne Slot and it has looked a shrewd move.

Slot’s men sit top of the Premier League and have won all three Champions League outings so far, against Milan, Bologna and RB Leipzig.
