AC Milan vs. Liverpool: How to watch in UK - Live stream, TV channel, start time, and lineups for Champions League match

AC Milan and Liverpool, two legendary European clubs, will face off at the iconic San Siro stadium on Tuesday to begin their quest for the UEFA Champions League title in the 2024-25 season.

These sides share a storied history, having met twice in the final within three seasons. Most famously, the Reds staged a stunning comeback from 3-0 down to level 3-3 and triumph on penalties in the 2004-05 final.

Milan, however, exacted their revenge in 2006-07 with a more straightforward 2-1 victory, thanks to two goals from Filippo Inzaghi, while Dirk Kuyt netted a late consolation for Liverpool.

AC Milan have had a mixed start to their domestic season but secured their first league win last weekend with a commanding 4-0 victory over Venezia. Meanwhile, Liverpool's perfect run under new boss Arne Slot came to a halt after a surprising 1-0 defeat at home to Nottingham Forest.

Milan boss Paulo Fonseca may well stick with the team that put four past Venezia last weekend. That would mean USMNT star Christian Pulisic starts in attack alongside Tammy Abraham and Rafael Leao. Alvaro Morata is still working his way back to full fitness from a muscle problem and will likely start on the bench.

Ismael Bennacer is facing several weeks out with a calf problem sustained in the international break, but Tijjani Reijnders has found form in midfield of late and will hope to continue that this week.

AC Milan predicted XI (4-3-3, right to left): Maignan (GK) — Emerson, Gabbia, Pavlovic, Hernandez — Reijnders, Fofana, Loftus-Cheek — Pulisic, Abraham, Leao.

Injured: Ismael Bennacer, Alessandro Florenzi, Marco Sportiello, Malick Thiaw
Suspended: 

Liverpool boss Arne Slot could tempted to make some changes following the shock defeat to Forest.

Cody Gakpo and Darwin Nunez may hope to start in attack, while Curtis Jones is vying for a place in midfield after returning from injury.

Liverpool predicted XI (4-2-3-1, right to left): Alisson (GK) — Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson — Gravenberch, Mac Allister — Salah, Jones, Gakpo — Nunez.

Injured: Harvey Elliott

AC Milan vs. Liverpool Prediction 

Milan made the most of the two-week break, showing stronger domestic form than Liverpool, and the Rossoneri have stayed unbeaten in their last four Champions League encounters with English teams.

They’ve never managed five in a row without a loss to Premier League sides in this competition, but that could change here. Even with potential tweaks to their attack, Liverpool’s struggles in front of goal could mean Milan keeps that streak alive. We're backing Milan to frustrate the Reds once again
