Prediction
It’s possible that the Reds will be a little rusty in their first game in nearly a month. They are expected to field a strong team because they have players like Thiago, Mohamed Salah, and Roberto Firmino available for the game. In contrast, Lyon put together a strong team to play Arsenal, but they didn’t win. They should have trouble here, but they might score.
