These two sides have met four times before, twice in the UEFA Champions League final, with Liverpool holding the advantage with a 2-1 lead with one draw.

The Reds famously overturned a 3-0 deficit in their first encounter in the UEFA Champions League final in 2004/05 to salvage a 3-3 draw after extra-time, before winning the penalty shootout in Istanbul.

AC Milan exacted their revenge two seasons later when they prevailed 2-1 in the final in Athens to claim their seventh title, a tally only surpassed by Real Madrid.

The two sides met during the group phase of the UEFA Champions League in 2021/22, with Liverpool winning both encounters - triumphing 3-2 at Anfield before enjoying a 2-1 success at the Stadio San Siro.

AC Milan started this season with two draws and one defeat before registering their first win at the weekend with a 4-0 thumping of Venezia at the Stadio San Siro.

Conversely, Liverpool made a perfect start to the campaign by winning their first three games without conceding, but go into Tuesday's match on the back of a surprise 1-0 loss to Nottingham Forest at Anfield.

Harvey Elliott remains on the sidelines with a foot fracture in Liverpool's only definite absentee, while Arne Slot may consider freshening up his starting XI after the disappointing defeat to Forest on Saturday.

Cody Gakpo and Darwin Nunez will be hoping to get the nod despite uneventful cameos at the weekend, while summer arrival Federico Chiesa will be desperate for some involvement in his homeland after building up his fitness.
