How to watch Liverpool vs Atletico Madrid live: Stream, TV channel, team news, prediction

Andoni Iraola makes his Champions League debut as a manager as his Liverpool side host Diego Simeone's Atletico Madrid at Anfield on Wednesday. Iraola has had a mixed start to life at Liverpool but seeing Alexander Isak score twice in their win at Ipswich on Friday will excite him and give him hope that the attack is finally gelling. Liverpool's new style of play is taking some time to bed in, as expected, but Iraola's side are unbeaten in three in the league as they try to find the right balance. Atletico Madrid have started the La Liga season with two wins from four, but they were hammered at Athletic Bilbao at the weekend. Simeone's side reached the semifinals of this competition last season and have dealt with the Julian Alvarez situation pretty well this summer. But they could really do with their star striker being back to his best soon.
