Will Liverpool maintain their impressive form?
Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool has been in scintillating form this season, dominating both domestically and internationally. With six consecutive victories across all competitions, they look unstoppable and will be confident of extending their winning streak against Atalanta.
Atalanta's resurgence under Gasperini
Atalanta, under the astute leadership of Gian Piero Gasperini, has undergone a resurgence in recent seasons. They play an attractive brand of football and pose a significant threat to Liverpool's ambitions. Their impressive away record in Europe makes them a dangerous opponent.
Key battles to watch
Mohamed Salah, Liverpool's talisman, will be eager to add to his impressive tally against Atalanta's robust defense, marshalled by Rafael Toloi and Berat Djimsiti.
