AC Milan vs Liverpool Preview
Liverpool are currently in fourth place in the Premier League standings and have been fairly impressive so far this season. The Merseyside outfit slumped to a shock 1-0 defeat at the hands of Nottingham Forest over the weekend and will need to bounce back in this fixture.
AC Milan, on the other hand, are in ninth place in the league table at the moment and have been inconsistent over the past year. I Rossoneri eased past Venezia by a 4-0 margin in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar result this week.
