There is just one game left in this season’s Champions League league phase.
Liverpool will face Qarabag on January 28th in their final game of the 2025/26 league phase in the Champions League.
Despite being poor in the league this season, in Europe, Liverpool have been fairly solid, and currently sit fourth after seven games played.
The Reds have won five and lost two ahead of their final game next week.
Their 3-0 win over Marseille earlier this week has put them in a very strong position to advance to the knockout rounds.
All 18 games will kick off at the same time at 8pm on Wednesday, with five of the six Premier League teams currently positioned within the top eight of the table.
Teams finishing within the top eight automatically advance to the round of sixteen, so Liverpool just need to win against Qarabag to secure the place in the next round.
Arsenal are sure to finish top of the table thanks to their strong goal difference, Tottenham are in the same position as Liverpool, whilst Newcastle United, Manchester City and Chelsea are still battling for qualification.
Due to the Champions League new format, it is easy to get an idea of the potential next round opponents for each club, though the table could change depending on results on Wednesday.
If the draw was held today, Liverpool could meet Atalanta, Inter Milan, Marseille or Bayer Leverkusen in the round of sixteen.
As things stand, Liverpool could face Man City or Tottenham in the quarterfinals, while PSG or Atletico Madrid also remain possibilities.
Finishing first in last season’s league phase did Liverpool no favours, as they drew eventual winners PSG in the round of sixteen and were knocked out.
Arne Slot will be looking to go one step deeper into the competition this year, and their potential opponents provide them with the perfect opportunity to do so.
