Liverpool face Real Madrid in the Champions League - but they may go into battle without Nunez who went off injured after Newcastle ace Trippier sent him ...

The striker bagged Liverpool's first goal in their 2-0 win over the Magpies, and Klopp will be hoping Nunez can have the same impact against Carlo Ancelotti's side if he recovers in time. In the moment it’s painful. But Nunez landed on his shoulder in the process, eventually forcing him to leave the pitch to nurse the injury. "But in the end, he had to go off with a shoulder issue. Surprisingly, referee Anthony Taylor gave a free kick against Nunez, to the shock of fans who flocked to Twitter to share their frustration, and call for the official's dismissal.

In the USA, Paramount+ has the access to every Champions League game, including Liverpool vs Real Madrid. The Champions League Round of 16 first leg will get underway at 20:00 GMT on Tuesday, February 21, the local time in Liverpool. The major blow for Real Madrid is that they will be without both Aurelien Tchouameni and Toni Kroos for the trip to England. Liverpool have not been blessed when it comes to injuries this season but that is not the sole reason behind their poor displays. Having expected to be right in the thick of the title race, they find themselves in eighth place, seven points away from the Champions League qualification places.

"We have these two results and hopefully we can build on that but we need to play a super game, we need to play two super games, to be honest, to get through.

"We played a good game and could have won the game. However, Karim Benzema is set to return after his absence at the weekend.

Liverpool host Real Madrid in the first leg of their huge UEFA Champions League last 16 tie as a repeat of the 2021-22 final is a mouthwatering prospect.

Cherries refuse to spoil (Wolves 0-1 AFC Bournemouth): This was not a great flowing display from Bournemouth but they’ve shown this season that they possess grit, can grind out wins, and have individuals to pop up at key moments to secure victories. Marco Silva’s side registered 0.00 xG on zero shots in the first half, as Brighton had their way everywhere but in front of goal (as they so often do). Fulham finished (Brighton 0-1 Fulham): Fulham were out-shot 21-5 (seven on target), out-xG’d 2.20-0.31 and out-possessed 65-35, and not one bit of it mattered. On the flip side, Thomas Frank accounted for two of the celebratory limbs as Brentford extended their unbeaten run to 11 PL games (5W-6D) amid an unlikely European push. Nick Pope loses plot but Liverpool still needs help from Alisson (Newcastle 0-2 Liverpool): This may sounds like a silly takeaway from a 2-0 away win for a Liverpool team craving positive praise, but the Reds shouldn’t feel back to their best after looking anything but comfortable up a man and two goals for more than an hour. Man City grounded at the City Ground (Nottingham Forest 1-1 Man City): A let down looked possible if not likely for Man City following their huge midweek defeat of Arsenal, but Bernardo Silva’s goal seemed to send forth better vibes that the side’s return to the top of the table would be accompanied by title-winning performances. Gunners snap out of skid (late), aren’t going away (Villa 2-4 Arsenal): Arsenal looked like they would cough up points in this game but they never stopped believing and found a way to win it. Fantastic Five hold keys to Man Utd’s glory chase (Man Utd 3-0 Leicester): They are still going for four trophies this season and Manchester United’s unlikely bid to win all four is fueled by the excellent form of David De Gea in goal, Lisandro Martinez in defense, Casemiro in midfield, and Marcus Rashford and Bruno Fernandes combining in attack. The Dyche difference (Everton 1-0 Leeds): Leeds came to Goodison Park ready to fight, literally and figuratively, but that wasn’t a problem for the previously moribund Toffees. If the Chelsea owners are truly going to stick with Potter for the long run, they are now very close to the stage where they will have to write this season off. Okay, he wasn’t singing but when asked about Chelsea’s fans calling for him to be fired following their defeat to Southampton (they have now won just two of their last 14 Premier League games) here was his response: “I am sure there will be people out there who think that I’m the problem. Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is happy his team are facing Real now as back-to-back victories against Everton and Newcastle have given them renewed confidence they can finish in the top four of the Premier League.
