Liverpool has started off its Premier League campaign with a couple of 2-2 draws against both Newcastle and Nottingham Forest.

Los Rojiblancos ultimately fell to Athletic Bilbao in a disappointing 3-0 loss that raised red flags surrounding head coach Diego Simeone, who’s side has conceded six second-half goals already this season.

Atletico will head to Liverpool looking to claim their first-ever Champions League group stage win over an English team.
