Inter Milan look to capitalize on Liverpool’s struggles

Inter Milan, last season’s runners-up, hope to take full advantage of the difficult situation facing visiting Liverpool and their Dutch manager Arne Slot, as they aim to take a major step toward securing qualification for the UEFA Champions League round of 16.

Liverpool enter the match in a severe slump both domestically and in Europe, with their problems compounded by the shock stirred by Egyptian star Mohamed Salah before the team traveled to the San Siro. The Reds arrive in Milan after back-to-back Premier League draws, preceded by a heavy 4–1 defeat at Anfield to PSV Eindhoven in match week five of the unified Champions League group stage.

Salah — the club’s third-highest scorer in history with 250 goals in 420 appearances — hinted that this weekend’s Premier League match against Brighton could be his final game for Liverpool before a potential January transfer.

Inter, who opened their European campaign with four straight wins, fell 2–1 away to Atlético Madrid in the previous round, dropping to fourth place — three points behind Arsenal, who have at least secured a playoff berth after winning their first five matches.

Following that loss to Atlético — which itself came after a derby defeat to AC Milan (0–1) in Serie A — Christian Chivu’s side responded strongly, winning their next three matches in the league and cup, scoring 11 goals and conceding just once.

Given their current form, Liverpool appear unlikely to repeat their success from their last two visits to San Siro, where they also won the second leg of the 2007–08 round of 16 (1–0) after a 2–0 victory in the first leg at Anfield.
